The Glass house mountains caravan village is closed due to power & sewage problems, the permanants are still there but no more travellers.This park has been sold to the main roads for the duplication of the Steve Irwin way, so there goes another on.
The next one a little south, [wont mention a name], took one look & no no no. How ever there is another one on the old gympie road just behind the Glass house mts village called Glass house mts camping ground--not in the cav/ park book but just listed in the new camps 6.
A bush background, grass sites , $10 per person with $2.50 for power. This is the site of the QLD Cobb & Co centre.the owner is very pleasent to talk to with a lot of knowledge on the horse & carriage days with a fully restored coach which has done many reinactment trips around the country. He is about to start building a replica 48 seater coach. A quite area & worth a look.

When we are up that way we stop at Caboolture??? (spell check) show ground its only $100 a week, not the flashest but its ok
See one rule for one and one for others. Beatie passed a law saying caravan parks can no longer be developed.

Gill, yes it does have showers, the INFO at Glass house mts village put us on to it, & its on the left as you enter the village.
To get there drive straight through the village, 4/5 kl till you meet the old gympie rd, turn left for a few hundred mtrs, & its on your right,
ID by two big poles upright with one across the top, follow the rd down for a couple of hundred mtrs.
Just checked map, the road from the village to old gympie rd is coonowrin rd, turn left at old gympie rd, & its just on top of the hill.
edit for rd name.

Seems like right around the country an ever increasing number of parks are closing down completely or reinventing themselves into residential villages for permanents only. Must admit there are some out there that should have closed years ago . With the rapid increase in vans / mh and campers it's about to become rather cramped out there in those left
The Glass house mountains caravan village is closed due to power & sewage problems, the permanants are still there but no more travellers.This park has been sold to the main roads for the duplication of the Steve Irwin way, so there goes another on.
