Caravanning on the Tweed Coast

It’s hard to go past the Tweed and its modern, well-equipped holiday parks as the perfect base to spend some time exploring one of Australia’s top tourist regions.

Soak up the sun, dine on amazingly fresh local seafood or visit the many interesting villages in the beautiful green hinterland. The Tweed is an idyllic location for summer family holidays, a relaxed weekend getaway or a mid-winter warmer.

The bright lights of the Gold Coast and its attractions are only a short drive away, yet the Tweed offers a much simpler and relaxed pace.

On the coast, the seaside playgrounds of Pottsville, Cabarita and Kingscliff are havens for water sports. Swim, surf, snorkel, or drop in a fishing line. With 37km of unspoilt beaches to choose from, the hardest decision is picking where to go.

Further inland, the charming villages of Uki, Tyalgum and Stoker’s Siding have an infectious sense of community and pride. Be sure to peer into the lovingly restored buildings, now transformed into cosy cafes, art galleries and gift stores.

No matter what kind of holiday you seek, the Tweed is the place to be.
