Cotton Tree Holiday Park

Cotton Tree Holiday Park is a classic Queensland caravan park right on the Maroochy River, just a short walk from the beach. It’s popular with families and fishing types, with powered sites for vans and tents, plus a few cabins if you’re not bringing your own gear. The park’s a bit old school, but clean enough and well maintained.

Expect a lively spot during school holidays, with kids running around and boats queued up on the river. The facilities include a camp kitchen, laundry, and a decent playground. It’s close to the Cotton Tree village shops and cafes, so you won’t have to drive far for basics. Just note that bookings are by request, so don’t expect instant confirmation.
