When you want to balance the sun-drenched days with staying cool, G’day Parks is the very best place for your getaway. Our parks sure know how to deliver water-based fun, and they’ve also got incredible accommodation, sites surrounded by nature, and top-notch facilities up their sleeve.
From caravan parks with swimming pools to delightful waterfront locations, here’s six ways to make a splash on your next family holiday at G'day Parks!
REFRESHING SWIMMING POOLS
At the top of our list, you can dive into a swimming pool at more than 200 G’day Parks, including Moree Tourist Park.
Not only does Moree Tourist Park have its own swimming pool area for guests, but the park is also located in the heart of the Great Artesian Basin region in NSW. Head straight to the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre, where you can soak all day in healing mineral waters (plus there’s a waterslide and waterpark for the kids). With powered, unpowered, and drive-through sites, you can camp the way you like. Looking for something a little cosier? Check into a Vermont Studio that's equipped with a private bathroom, compact kitchen, and air-conditioned comfort.
On-site splash parks are another one of the key reasons why families love coming to holiday parks like Discovery Parks - Mackay.
Situated in prime holiday territory, Mackay is the perfect spot to explore stunning beaches, hike sub-tropical rainforest trails, and look for a platypus in Eungella National Park. Among a generous number of powered sites (many with ensuites) and cabins, a Deluxe Two-Bedroom Cabin can sleep up to six family members! Better yet, these cabins are just a hop, skip, and a jump from the splash park (not to mention a pool, waterslide, mini golf course, and bouncing pillow) where children – and children at heart – can spend hours running through water sprays and waiting for the tipping bucket to pour over their heads.
FANTASTIC RIVERSIDE GETAWAYS
Who doesn’t love a riverside getaway—especially when you’re staying right on the water’s edge at a park with a boat ramp like Walpole Rest Point Caravan Park in Australia's South West?
With wilderness scenery at every turn, you can enjoy your favourite water activities to the max, whether that includes fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, water skiing, or stand-up paddleboarding. The park has a wide variety of camping sites and accommodation, but our best advice is to get all-day-long water views in a six-berth Three-Bedroom Unit. As for spending time on land, hike through Walpole-Nornalup National Park (in particular, the famous Bibbulmun Track), visit the charming township, or simply hang out in park for the bouncing pillow, playground, and BBQs.
ENDLESS FUN AT LAKESIDE HOLIDAY PARKS
Along with riverside parks, there are lots of G’day Parks where you can enjoy the spoils of a lakeside location, like Millicent Lakeside Caravan Park.
What makes Millicent Lakeside Caravan Park special is that it’s located right next to a family-friendly, man-made swimming lake which is open 24/7, all year round. It has an enclosed and shaded toddler section for little ones to splash around in, as well as shallow beach access and a floating pontoon. You'll also find a playground, volleyball court, and takeaway café so that you can eat a lakeside picnic or take your food and drinks back to your holiday base. Campers can choose between powered or unpowered sites, while the park offers accommodation for solo travellers, couples, and families (a Large Family Cabin is the biggest of the bunch).
Nothing says ‘Australian getaway’ quite like escaping to the coast, so it’s lucky that G’day Parks has a whole heap of beachside parks—including Rainbow Beach Holiday Village.
You’re just a short walk away from the park’s namesake beach, which is famous for its multicoloured cliffs where it’s said you can see more than 70 shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown. The gorgeous water and waves are the ideal setting for kayaking, canoeing, surfing, and swimming. After a glorious day spent by the shoreline, head back to your cabin – we recommend an Ocean View Spa Villa for true seaside charm – and utilise the park’s resort-style swimming pool, convenience store, camp kitchen, and BBQ facilities.
Of course, the very best way to "splash out" on your next getaway is to treat yourself to a little bit of luxury! Good news—G’day Parks helps your dollar go that little bit further, so you can stay in high quality accommodation like Discovery Resorts - McCracken Resort at great value prices.
From deluxe spa rooms to a family-sized Four Bedroom Villa that serves as the ultimate holiday home, you can relax with modern features overlooking the green. Play the picturesque 18-hole course, make the most of the on-site bar and grill, or enjoy a hit of tennis or basketball. Don’t worry, you can still splash out in the traditional sense with a swimming pool and spa, plus you’re only a short drive from the Fleurieu Peninsula's pristine beaches.
