(868 reviews)

Ten acres of beachfront land sitting directly beside the Coolum Surf Club, with Pandanus trees providing shade and the patrolled surf a short walk from your tent peg. The location is the whole argument here. Sites are well-maintained, the camp kitchen is clean, and roughly half the park is dog-friendly, with beach access that also allows leashed dogs. Cafes and restaurants are genuinely walkable. That said, pricing sits at the higher end of the caravan park spectrum, minimum stay rules apply across peak and shoulder periods, and facilities are stripped back: sites, bathrooms, and camp kitchen. No pool, no rec room. A Saturday evening pizza truck does the rounds. Come for the beachfront position and the dog-friendly setup, not the amenities list.

What People Say

Very happy with our stay. Dogs allowed in certain parts of camping ground, around half the place. Walking distance and easy access to beach, restaurants, and shops. The sea was really warm. Service station on the opposite side of the road to the camp site sells ice for around $3.50, whereas the camp-site sell ice for $6 a bag. Mc D is across the road, as well as a Service station. Some sites are more shaded than others. We were happy with our tent site, 173. We were half way between two amenity blocks and had shading morning and evening because of where the trees are situated. Saturday evening there was a pizza truck. The pizza was delicious and we even had the option for GF.

Quite pricy for a caravan park (2 adults +one dog for a powered site for 3days is $262 for a shoulder period). No views from campsites. Many rules about how many nights you have to stay ( minimum 3 nights stay for “catholic shoulder” and we have to stay from 9-12/12 but not 10-13/12 because 13/12 become peak rate and it is minimum of 7 days….). And one vehicle per site, so you can’t have a car and a motorhome, even though there is enough space for it (as it is alright for caravans). No visitor vehicles. Some sites against the bush and road are pretty small, about the width of a footpath...mm.. I would say the least recommended site that in my own opinion and to remind myself of would be site 178 … On the good sides: Dog friendly sites available! Walking distance to the beach ( dog on leash allowed, life savers), shops and restaurants. No constant noise of campers come and go. Amenities seem pretty clean. Next to a skate park. 11am check in (10am check out).

Noosa Sea Scouts

Noosaville QLD

Thirty dollars a night, walking distance to the Noosa River, and enough tree cover to forget you're in the middle of town. The Sea Scouts' community campground is grass sites, hot showers, and genuinely friendly staff. Not for big rigs, but perfect for tents and small campers.

The Sebel Noosa

Noosa Heads QLD

Thirty-two Hastings Street is as central as Noosa gets. The apartments are roomy, the pool is compact but serviceable, and the beach is a short walk. Maintenance is inconsistent across rooms, so request a recently updated one. The location alone justifies the rate for most visitors.

Why Autumn Is the Best Time to Visit Noosa
