Caravan Camping Near Clairview, Queensland, AU: 20 Best Caravan Parks 2026

A dugong sanctuary and a beach brimming with mud crabs are just two draws for caravan campers to coastal Clairview. Head to the shore on hot summer mornings to view the dugongs and harvest a crab dinner, then return to your caravan park to fire up the BBQ. Powered sites near Clairview typically offer access to toilets, drinking water, and laundry facilities for convenience. Zip over to Flock Pigeon Island, a 2.5-kilometre ride away, to cast fishing rods and look for rare bird species while savouring scenic views. Back on the mainland, an hour’s drive north of Clairview, caravanners can experience thrilling walking trails and abundant local wildlife like ‘roos and wallabies in Cape Palmerston National Park—an off-season visit in March or September promises cooler temperatures ideal for hiking. Small camper trailers can settle in at the park, while larger caravans and motorhomes are welcome at drive-through sites outside the boundary. Amenities like electric hookups, sullage points, and potable water are helpful conveniences.

Weekend Trip to Tide Water Park

Loved our stay at Tide Water Park. The drive in through mobs of cattle & pretty paddocks was very scenic. Nice camp-site in the bush with a walk way to the beach close by. Paul was great, visited us late afternoon & offered to take us on a turtle tour. In the ute we went & up the beach he took us with his dogs to the turtles swimming in the shallows. Such a shame we had crap weather, but we still enjoyed. We will be back if we're ever down this way again. Thanks Paul.

Easy access, absolutely beautiful location, plenty of things to do. Great access to creek and some good beach driving. Paul is a top bloke, very helpful and good for a yarn. We have already picked out our next site for when we return which will be very soon. Not over crowded, each site is isolated and the whole place perfectly quiet.

Beautiful secluded beach which is great to explore at low tide. Paul drove us down to the rock pools to see the resident turtles which was an incredible experience to be so close to them. He's a legendary host! Camping spot was great behind the sand dunes so you get great protection from the elements while still being on the beach. Such a special location. We will be back for sure!

We had an amazing camping trip. Paul was so lovely and helpful, which really made the stay even better. We were lucky enough to see turtles, and Campsite 5 was unreal — pretty much right on the water. There was so much to do and see for kids of all ages, and we even got to feed the horse, which our kids absolutely loved. The fishing was great, and there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. Paul even came and had a beer with us to celebrate the New Year, which was such a nice, welcoming touch. Thank you Paul and Clare for letting us stay — easily one of our best camping trips. We’d 100% stay again and highly recommend it.

Paul and Clare were incredibly welcoming hosts. We had our own private beach for the night, and my wife couldn't stop raving about Clare's fresh eggs! Perfect spot if you want an off-grid beach adventure.

10/10 would recommend staying here. Peaceful, well maintained, easy access and overall such a great spot to relax, explore and swim. Even though the creek wasn’t at its best the kayaks were still a hit with the kids and still plenty for them to do.

We stayed for 2 nights and were lucky enough to get the entire campgrounds to ourselves. It was peaceful, scenic and not so far out of the way in case we needed supplies. No reception which was exactly what we were after. The creek wasn’t running and a little low at the time (early December) so no swimming for us but our Labrador had the time of her life. We had frequent visits from the horses, specifically Bo who just wanted to see what we were doing, always… Apart from Bo trying to steal our bread, and our Labrador getting a bit too close to Bo, it was the perfect little getaway and an incredible spot. The horses made great entertainment! Highly recommend for anyone, especially those with kids as there would be plenty of fun things to do

It pains me to recommend this place as I honestly don’t want to share it haha… such an absolute gem of a place. Our family can’t recommend this spot any more highly. One of the stand outs has to be the distance between sites. Even fully booked you wouldn’t feel in any way crowded in. The hosts are lovely and friendly. The beach is stunning and the turtles were a really special treat. The river is great for fishing and even better for crabbing , we got two massive bucks ! I would implore visitors to be respectful and sensible as I would hate for a few campers to ruin it for the rest of us. This area is a special slice of paradise and we are all lucky the owners are willing to share it with us all. Leave it as you found it or better. Thanks Claire, Paul , Jade , site inspector Rep and the other friendly doggos for making our visit so lovely .

Weekend Trip to Ilbilbie Station Farm Stay

Awesome as usual, the area gets better every time we go, there is always grass at the camp sites, plenty of firewood and fire places, the creek is fantastic and the kids are in it nearly all day, the horses and cows are friendly and just wander about, a great camp and a credit to Gary and Carmen. For them we want it to grow in popularity, for us, not so much, we don't want to share it.
