Search Gosford Caravan Parks from AU$119

Most folks who caravan are either looking to get somewhere or looking to get away from it all. Few destinations appeal to both groups, but Gosford fits the bill perfectly. It has plenty of places to fill up—your rig’s tank, and yours. Plus, the short detour to Brisbane Water National Park is totally worth it. And when you stay at Gosford caravan parks and camping grounds, you’ll find that the largest stop-off between Sydney and Newcastle is anything but a drive-through town.

The perks of Gosford caravan parks

• Budget-friendly: Head toward the coast to Blue Lagoon Beach Resort. This place isn’t just one of the cheapest caravan parks in the area, its powered sites are also close to inexpensive activities like the Bateau Bay Point Walking Track and Naomi Honey Reserve. You can even get a cabin with a view for a great price. Go on holiday without your bank account getting cranky.
• Pet-friendly: Bringing your furry children along, too? Pack a doggie lifejacket for kayaking and an extra snag for the BBQ, because at Canton Beach Holiday Park, pets stay free. Bonus: Take scenic Central Coast Highway along Tuggerah Lake to get there. You’ll want to book a long-term stay, mark our words.

Things to do in Gosford

• We believe you can fly. As long as you’ve got a water-shooting jetpack strapped to your back, a flyboard on your feet, and the thigh strength of a rhinoceros, that is. The first two come with the Jetpack & Flyboard Combo Adventure in nearby Kariong. The third you’ll gain with a little practice.
• The Laser Skirmish Adventure in Glenworth Valley brings a whole new meaning to “point-and-shoot." So go ahead. Crawl through the bushes, get grass stains on your pants, and hide in the mud. We won’t tell mum if you don’t.
