The ultimate haven for family holidays
Embarking on a family holiday is more than just a break from the routine – it's an opportunity to create lasting memories, strengthen bonds, and immerse yourself in an environment that caters to every family member's needs. If you're contemplating the perfect destination for your next family holiday, look no further than Gold Coast Tourist Parks. Nestled along the picturesque coastline of the Gold Coast, our parks offer an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, family-friendly activities, and a welcoming atmosphere for all families.
From the diverse range of family-friendly accommodation to the breath-taking surroundings that provide a perfect backdrop for family adventures, let's explore why our parks should be at the top of your list for your next family getaway.
Stunning beachside and waterfront locations
Whether it's fishing at Jacobs Well, swimming in Tallebudgera Creek or learning to surf at Kirra Beach, our beaches and waterways are the perfect playground for families.
Tallebudgera Creek is one of the most-loved swimming spots by families on the Gold Coast. This iconic spot features calm, pristine waters with the stunning Burleigh Headland as the backdrop. Stay at Tallebudgera Creek Tourist Park to enjoy all that this beautiful creek has to offer.
If the beach is more your style, stay at our parks located across from the patrolled beaches of Main Beach, Miami Beach, Burleigh Beach, and Kirra Beach. These locations not only provide families with direct access to some of Australia's most renowned beaches but also offer a plethora of family-friendly activities, from building sandcastles to enjoying picnics by the water's edge.

For the boating and fishing families, stay at Jacobs Well Tourist Park on the northern Gold Coast. This park is situated on the southern end of Moreton Bay with access to a boat ramp and great fishing spots. Broadwater Tourist Park also features a boat ramp so you can easily access the Broadwater on your boat or jet ski.
Pools, pools, and more pools!
We love our pools just as much as our beaches. That’s why most of our parks feature pools that the whole family can enjoy.
Tallebudgera Creek Tourist Park is loved by parents and kids for its two pools – one for the kiddos and one exclusively for adults. The kid-friendly pool features two waterslides and a separate splash zone. The adults-only pool is situated on the other side of the amenities, making it the perfect spot for parents to relax in peace.
Broadwater Tourist Park also features two pools. Take your stay to the next level and book a 2 Bedroom or 3 Bedroom Pool View Cabin with direct access to the pool from your doorstep.
Main Beach Tourist Park and Kirra Beach Tourist Park also feature kid-friendly pools. All pools are heated during the winter months so they can be enjoyed year-round!
Epic school holiday activities
When it comes to school holidays, our parks do not shy away from fun! From engaging arts and craft workshops to exciting outdoor adventures and interactive games, our parks transform school breaks into memorable experiences for kids of all ages. The carefully crafted programs cater to a variety of interests, allowing kids to explore their creativity, embrace the outdoors, and create new friendships.
