The Reef Caravan Park: Your Tranquil Bushland Base in Agnes Water

Escape the crowds and discover a slice of coastal serenity at The Reef Caravan Park, a peaceful retreat tucked away just a short drive from the bustling heart of Agnes Water. This park offers a refreshing alternative for travellers seeking space, quiet, and a more relaxed bushland atmosphere. Renowned for its exceptionally large, grassy sites, The Reef is a haven for owners of big rigs, fifth wheelers, and anyone who simply appreciates having room to breathe. Instead of being packed in, you can set up your camp with ample space between you and your neighbours, truly unwind, and listen to the sounds of the surrounding nature. The park’s layout and welcoming attitude make it an incredibly popular choice for those travelling with pets, offering plenty of green space for four-legged friends to enjoy.

While it boasts a tranquil, rural setting, The Reef Caravan Park is perfectly positioned for convenience. You are only a few minutes’ drive from the stunning main beach of Agnes Water, local shops, cafes, and the historic Town of 1770. This makes it an ideal basecamp for all your coastal adventures—from surfing and swimming to exploring national parks and embarking on day trips to the Southern Great Barrier Reef. The facilities are clean, modern, and well-maintained, including a fantastic camp kitchen that acts as a social hub, spotless amenities, and the welcome addition of fire pits for hire, allowing you to enjoy a classic campfire under the stars (conditions permitting). For those seeking a friendly, spacious, and peaceful camping experience without sacrificing easy access to one of Queensland’s most beloved coastal destinations, The Reef Caravan Park is an outstanding choice.
