If you are planning a Queensland caravan holiday this year and have not yet had a look at the 2026 Explore Queensland Caravan Parks Directory, it is well worth grabbing a copy before you start booking. Published by Caravanning Queensland, the peak body for caravan and holiday parks across the state, this 116-page guide covers the full breadth of Queensland in a single, free, easy-to-use publication, and it has become one of the most useful trip planning tools available for anyone hitting the road in the Sunshine State.
Queensland is enormous, and that is both the appeal and the challenge. From the subtropical parks of the south to the tropical north, the sweeping outback to the west and all the regional gems in between, the directory organises all of it by region. So whether you are planning a coastal lap, an outback run or a point-to-point road trip through several regions, you can map out your stops, compare your options and identify the parks that suit your needs before you leave the driveway.
The directory goes beyond a simple list of parks. Regional highlights, seasonal travel tips and local attraction information are woven throughout, giving you a head start on planning what to do once you arrive. If you are new to caravanning in Queensland or exploring a part of the state you have not visited before, this context makes a genuine difference to how much you get out of each stop.
Queensland’s diversity as a destination is one of its greatest strengths, and the directory reflects that. Beachfront parks, outback retreats, rainforest campgrounds, waterfront fishing villages and resort-style holiday parks all feature, covering every style of travel from weekenders and school holiday families through to grey nomads planning a full Queensland lap.
The directory opens with a full parks by location index and a parks by name index, making it easy to find a specific park or browse by region depending on how you prefer to plan. A dedicated tourist information section sits at the front, with regional highlights and travel tips to help you get more out of every stop along the way.
The regional sections themselves are the heart of the guide. Thirteen regions are covered in full, from the Gold Coast through to Outback Queensland, with each park listing including the practical details you need to make a decision: facilities, accommodation types, pet-friendly options, drive-through sites, accessible cabins, contact information and enough information to understand what each park offers before you pick up the phone.
The directory also highlights parks that have been recognised through industry awards, giving you a reliable starting point when you are exploring an unfamiliar region and not sure where to begin.
There is also a Kids Corner section and a Plot Your Trip section, both designed to make the planning process easier for families and first-time travellers. A Residential Parks section and a Trade Products and Services section round out the back of the directory, making it useful for a broader range of readers beyond leisure travellers.
The 2026 directory is available anytime as a free online flipbook, where you can browse the whole guide from any device. Printed copies are also available upon request and at distribution outlets across Queensland and interstate, with an interactive map of pickup locations available on the Caravanning Queensland website.
It is the kind of resource that is worth having on hand before you plan rather than after. Queensland is too big and too varied to leave to chance, and having the whole state mapped out in one place makes narrowing down where to go and where to stay considerably easier.
