Caravan Parks in 1770 and Hervey Bay

Doug, that second link is seriously out of date!

Many of the places mentioned no longer exist and many, many more establishments have opened.

JFYI

Yes your right it is getting old, really I think the EO list of Parks is growing and it will be up to us Members to keep updating , like the park I'm in in Warwick I know of 3 names for it ,

Have to agree with John about the caravan park behind Bunnings. There are a couple of similar ones around as well.

There are around three or so parks on the waterfront, along The Esplanade. I think all three are council owned and managed. They are around the three star. There are some better ones around Torquay, but they are a block or so away from the water.

There is also one down opposite the Boat Club and marina. From the outside it looks a bit dodgy, but once you gave a look around inside it, seems ok. Handy if you want to go over to Fraser Island.

If you need any help with picking a park let me know, as I live here. Only problem is I wont be pack from the Flinders until this time next month.


Floody

We stayed at the park by the Boat Club in August for 4 or 5 days. As 'floody' says it doesn't look much but it is OK. The Club and several restaurants around the marina are only minutes walk away.

The showers and toilets are clean and tidy although in separate buildings. The ladies in the office are very helpful. They put us on a whale-watching trip and couldn't have asked for better.

Its funny you mention that - my parents live at Moorepark beach (North of bundeberg) and for the first 2 years they lived there , they had nasty bites from those horrible little monsters and they took weeks to disappear. Now some years later they don't get bite marks any more ( last time i came back with at least 20 + and they took almost a month to go away )

still have not seen the turtles at Mon repo as yet :)

We stayed in the 1770 campground in August for several days - we didn't get bitten at all, but we made sure we were off the beach by sundown, and our van was three rows back off the beach.

Site is tight if you have a big caravan especially the U-bend at the end of the park.

The pub/restaurant on the bedn in the road on the way in is worth a visit.

We stayed at Baggara for 4 nights the turtle place was closed but it was a good place to stay very good park and a nice little town

The park at 1770 still exists. Right on the beach and is like stepping back to the good old 1950s. Unspoilt and unpretentious. The take away food shop is still open and yes there are plenty of shops available in Agnes if you need to shop up. We've stayed at 1770 a number of times and haven't suffered bites from mozzies or midges. If you arrive at the park at low tide don't be put off by the beach. At high tide it provides some of the best swimming along the coast, keep your eye out for the dolphins. Go for a wander from the park back to the jetty where the fuel stop is. Take some bread with you and stop at the fish feeding area. Don't expect to see too many fish, until you drop some bread in that is - then stand back and watch the frenzy.
1770 is one of the best camp spots in Queensland

Well that didn't work too well....here are the links to both the parks again....

It's gotta work this time..1770 Camping Grounds and Captain Cook Holiday Village

Doesn't seem to want me to load both links in the same post....maybe just me:-))

We have stayed at The Happy Wanderer Caravan park , it,s very clean the staff are very helpful and it is reasonably close to to shops,club etc,. Hope you have a great holiday.
