Our location

Camping in Burleigh Heads has been a beloved tradition since the early 1900s, and it’s easy to see why. Located right in the heart of Burleigh, our park puts you just steps from beaches, iconic surf breaks and the lush trails of Burleigh Head National Park.

With boutique bars, local clubs, markets and a buzzing dining scene all within walking distance, you’ll feel the beachside village vibe from the moment you arrive. It’s the kind of place where you can park the car and forget about it – everything you need is right here!

World-class surf breaks

Burleigh is part of the World Surfing Reserve, and it’s a dream destination for surfers of all levels. Experienced riders will love the northern point break, while the open beaches offer great conditions for beginners and intermediates.

No gear? No worries. Third Ave Beach Hire has you covered, delivering surfboards and beach essentials to the park.

Natural areas

Burleigh Hill offers panoramic views of the surf and skyline. It’s also a perfect picnic spot, with BBQs and a playground for the kids.

Just 400m from the park entrance, explore the scenic coastal trails and rainforest paths of Burleigh Head National Park. In winter and spring, keep an eye out for whales cruising along the Humpback Highway.

Follow the trail around the headland to Tallebudgera Creek – a calm, sparkling haven ideal for swimming and family fun.

Local experiences

Just 500m away, the James Street precinct is a local favourite, offering European-style cafés, modern eateries, boutique shopping and lively bars.

For a relaxed meal with a local twist, visit the Burleigh Bowls Club or Surf Life Saving Club – both are full of character and community spirit.
