Practical Info for Brisbane
Pickup & Depot Info
Most campervan depots in Brisbane are located near Brisbane Airport (BNE) in the Eagle Farm and Pinkenba industrial areas, just 15 minutes from the CBD. Major brands like Apollo, Britz, Maui, and JUCY all have depots within a few kilometres of each other. Some operators offer free shuttle transfers from the airport or CBD. If you're flying in, you can usually pick up your campervan the same day.
Driving Tips
Brisbane uses electronic tolling on the Gateway Motorway, Clem7 Tunnel, Airport Link, and Go Between Bridge. Set up a visitor toll pass before you drive. Parking large campervans in the CBD is difficult — head straight out of the city. The Bruce Highway north and Pacific Motorway south are both excellent for campervans. Speed limits are strictly enforced with cameras.
Caravan Parks & Campgrounds
Brisbane has several excellent caravan parks: Brisbane Holiday Village (Eight Mile Plains) is closest to the city centre. Aspley Acres Holiday Park is well-maintained with great facilities. For a beachside option, head 30 minutes east to Redland Bay. The Sunshine Coast (1 hour north) has dozens of parks perfect for your first night.
