Practical Info for Gold Coast
Pickup & Depot Info
The Gold Coast has limited campervan depots compared to Brisbane. Some brands offer Gold Coast Airport pick-up by arrangement. Brisbane (1 hour north) has the largest selection of vehicles and is the recommended pick-up point. Most Brisbane depots are near Brisbane Airport, making it easy to fly in and drive south.
Driving Tips
The M1 Pacific Motorway connects Brisbane and the Gold Coast and is tolled. Beach-side parking on the Gold Coast is limited and time-restricted. The Gold Coast Hinterland roads (Springbrook, Tamborine Mountain) are winding — drive slowly in a larger campervan. Heading south to Byron Bay crosses the NSW border — speed limits change at the border.
Caravan Parks & Campgrounds
Gold Coast Holiday Park (Main Beach) is the most central option. BIG4 Gold Coast Holiday Park (Helensvale) has excellent family facilities including a waterpark. Tallebudgera Creek Tourist Park is a beautiful beachside option further south. Burleigh Beach Tourist Park is compact but well-located.
Things to do in Gold Coast
