This is the Pialba branch of three jointly-run caravan parks fronting Hervey Bay's long, delightful shorefront. Like the others, it's well-equipped with camp kitchens, BBQs, picnic areas and a laundry, but doesn't have quite the range of shops, cafes and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. It is closest, however, to the excellent Wetside Water Park.
