From resort-style facilities to brilliant locations within striking distance of great kids activities, here are our picks for the best family friendly Holiday Parks that are driving distance from Brisbane.

BREEZE RAINBOW BEACH HOLIDAY PARK: SUNSHINE COAST, QLD
What the kids loved: We love the modern facilities of this park and the well paved internal roads make the perfect surface for kids to wiz around Pedal Karts which can be hired at the park. They also loved the Jumping Pillow and Playground, and if the weather doesn't call for outdoor activities there’s a fantastic Games Room.

REFLECTIONS EVANS HEAD HOLIDAY PARK: NORTHERN RIVERS, NSW
What the kids loved: This is a casual beach town, and our kids have always loved the Northern Rivers beachers, particularly where they feed into a river which makes for a safe and easy swimming experience. The park sits directly opposite a river, where the kids loved to go for a dip and give the SUP a crack.
Getting there from Brisbane: 221 km, taking approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Address: 18 Park St, Evans Head NSW

BREEZE BARGARA BEACHFRONT HOLIDAY PARK: CORAL COAST, QLD
What the kids loved: The park is incredibly family oriented, but our kids love animals and visiting the nearby Mon Repos Turtle Centre was a huge highlight. Pools are often a focus for kids on holidays and while there isn’t a pool at the Holiday Park, it is directly across the road from Nielson Beach. This stretch of beach is a great spot for kids thanks to its very team swell. It’s patrolled in peak periods.
Getting to Bargara from Brisbane: 379 km, taking approximately 4 hours and 25 minutes.
Address: 25 Fred Courtice Ave, Bargara QLD

Your kids will love going up and down the water slide again and again! Beyond that, there’s a Junior Playground for the younger kids and a Ninja Playground the bigger kids will love.
