Childers Tourist Park & Camp – Your Tranquil Queensland Escape
Escape the noise of the highway and discover a hidden gem in the heart of the Bundaberg region. Childers Tourist Park & Camp offers a genuinely peaceful retreat for travellers seeking space, nature, and first-class amenities. Situated just five minutes from the historic town of Childers, our park is spread across an expansive 67 acres of beautiful lawns, natural bushland, and serene park settings. This is the ideal stopover for those travelling the Queensland coast, whether you’re in a large RV, towing a caravan, or looking for a classic camping experience.
What sets us apart is the sheer size and tranquility of our property. You won’t find yourself cramped into tight spaces here. We offer generously sized drive-through powered sites, available with either grass or a concrete slab, making setup and pack-down an absolute breeze. For those who prefer a more traditional experience, our unpowered sites are equally spacious, allowing you to choose your perfect spot amongst the trees. The absence of traffic noise ensures your stay is restful, punctuated only by the sounds of local birdlife that call our park home.
We are proudly pet-friendly, understanding that your furry friends are part of the family and deserve a holiday too. With extensive grounds and dedicated walking tracks, there’s plenty of room for them to explore on a leash. Our facilities are modern, clean, and well-maintained, featuring a camper’s kitchen with a free gas BBQ, spotless amenity blocks with disabled access, and a welcoming undercover recreational area complete with a TV. In the evenings, gather with fellow travellers around the communal fire pit to share stories under the clear country sky. With excellent mobile and TV reception, you can stay as connected as you wish while enjoying a genuine break from the everyday hustle. Childers Tourist Park & Camp is more than just a place to park for the night; it’s a destination to relax, recharge, and appreciate the quiet beauty of rural Queensland.
