I have stayed here and it is a good, clean, friendly, secure van park with reasonable rates. I am unaware of any "minimum" booking for Christmas etc.
Their website does not say so either.
In regard to any other van park on the way south, I would suggest that any park anywhere near the coast would have minimum booking requirements for the Christmas/School Holidays. It is their peak time.
I would suggest you look at an "inland" route south to Sydney to best results.
Cheers - John

Samford showgrounds.

Libby, are you going from Burpengary to Sydney for another House sit? If so, can I offer a bit of advice. Try only to accept sits in the area you are visiting, or are planning to travel. It does not pay to travel large distances just to house sit. eg, when we were in WA, and planning to move up the west coast, we managed to score three sits of two weeks duration, with two week gap, all heading in the direction we were planning to travel. No back tracking, no speed driving. Just thought I would mention it. Sorry for highjacking your thread.
Hello,
I have my first house sit organised at Burpengary for over Christmas, and it ends on NYE.
I then need to make my way back to Sydney, but am having trouble finding any CP vacancies, or else they have a minimum 7 nights stay.
I have a HiAce and it can be an unpowered site. I'm trying a camping ground at Glasshouse Mountains but haven't heard back, so nothing confirmed.
Starting to panic a bit.. I'm new to this...
Any suggestions where I might try?
I was thinking of taking about 5 nights to get back to Sydney.
Thanks!
Libby
Gday...
You could try this one Libby.
Bells Caravan Park at Clontarf, south end of Redcliffe Peninsular, just north of Brisbane.
