Under new management. Friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Poor value for money ($40 2A, off-peak season). We paid $36 because of BIG4 Member. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, cleanliness was average, condition is good, water pressure is good, hot water was usually adequate but not when busy. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, annex slabs to most sites, very few sites are shaded, ensuite sites available, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry, good rec room, good camp kitchen, kiosk, dump point, secure entry, wireless internet is available. Quiet, not enough shade, a few permanents. Clean UC electric bbq, congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Clean heated pool, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families, well maintained park, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Secure entry, friendly staff. In the showers I had a shower with no hot water turned on, the cold water was hot enough to shower with. Not sure if this is a dislike or a like but I had to mention it. We stayed here for 12 days and I can't say that there was anything to dislike.
Parking: Entry to the park is limited, when you arrive if there is a car and van in front of you, you will either have to stop on the road or parallel park beside the first van and then you will block him in.

As a newcomer to Qld and especially Brisbane outskirts, is was difficult to find a caravan park without any noise. As we had family to visit, BIG4 Brisbane Northside was within distance of visiting. School holidays also posed a problem for us as well. Very friendly staff, average staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Reasonable value for money ($53.57 2A per night, ensuite, peak season). We paid $50.71 because of BIG4 discount. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation. Adequate number of tourist sites, some unlevel sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, annex slabs to most sites, shade to some sites, ensuite sites available, drive-through sites, hard to negotiate into site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry, good rec room, good camp kitchen, late checkout allowed, kiosk, dump point, secure entry, van parking, wireless internet is available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Noisy, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, too many permanents. Clean UC electric bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Excellent playground in good condition. Clean heated pool is shaded, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for month or longer, suitable for families, well maintained park, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Camaraderie with other caravanners. Birds in abundance. Plenty of areas to walk outside of park. Shopping Centres within driving distance. Security to park.
Dislikes: A caravanner inconsiderate of others next door to him. Every night there is a domestic and it's us tourists who have to settle him down. Laundry had some washing machines out of order. Insufficient line spacing. Noise is constant day and night. Gympie, Zillmere & Dorville roads are major intersections.
Parking: Outside of office before boom gates.
Local Information: Chermside Shopping centre 15 minutes drive. KMart Vehicle service within area as well. Hypermart off Gympie road near Chermside also 15 minutes drive. Bus service leaves every hour for Brisbane. Park & Ride at Clarandine Shopping Centre - 15 minutes drive. Aspley Tavern offers a good lunch for $10. Plenty to eat. Value for money.
Roads: We came from Gympie to Brisbane and roads were good to drive on.

This park is immaculately maintained, from the gardens, to the laundry, amenities block and barbeque areas. There are permanents in cabins, but they are kept well separate. And there appears to be an effort to separate motorhomes from caravans. There are some (limited) drive through sites, as well as some en-suite sites. The main feature of this park which we appreciate is it is not far from Chermside shopping centre and not too far from a railway station (to go into the city). They will park vans on site for you if that help is needed. Very friendly staff. Reasonable value for money ($36 2A per night, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation. Adequate number of tourist sites, all sites are level, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, concrete annex slabs to most sites, very few sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry, dump point, secure entry, wireless internet is available, you can use your mobile wireless. Noisy, open & roomy park, a few permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Clean pool is shaded, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families, well maintained park.

Another example of people who own / manage a park that shouldn't be in the industry if they don't want to deal with people and children. Very unfriendly staff, average staff response to complaints. Poor value for money ($58 2A 2C per night, powered, peak season). Inadequate number of amenities, are close to most sites, cleanliness was average, condition is poor, water pressure is bad, there was inadequate hot water, soap provided, paper towels/dryer provided. Inadequate number of tourist sites, mostly unlevel sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, concrete annex slabs to most sites, very few sites are shaded, drive-through sites, hard to negotiate into site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by.

Clean UC electric bbq (free), dismal bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Basic playground in average condition. Clean pool, kid-safe pool area. Suitable for few days, suitable for families, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Location to city and Sunshine Coast, we had the only big site suitable for fifth wheeler and it was good. All other sites too small for big units and other drive thrus are very narrow. Roads are all very narrow.
Dislikes: Owners / Managers are very rude. Rules didn't seem to apply to permanents who constantly partied and fought. Kids not welcome in park. Would never stay again as unenjoyable from the moment you arrive until you leave. We sold and delivered our fifth wheeler to the new owners at this park so after a week we moved into a "2 bedroom family home" for $185 a night which was nothing other than a tiny little villa - an absolute rip off so I complained about as should not be advertised as a "home" on their website.
Parking: Very tight and small area at reception but if someone else there you are stuck on the busy road at intersection.

Stayed 2 nights, $26.10 per night Top Tourist discount. Helpful reception. Maps of park and the Island given to us. $20 refundable deposit for security key entry. We were allocated Site No. 143, near the entrance, a good sized site (easy to back into) level on a concrete slab and close to amenities. Nice shaded swimming pool, three clean amenities blocks, tennis court, mini golf, playground, large clean under-cover campers kitchen with 7 gas bbqs and seating. Very large recreation room. Good night lighting, sullage close to sites. Dump point. Many tidy permanents. Our site was under a tree so we got lots of bird droppings (as you do when under a tree). This is a lovely well maintained park, the only problem being the amount of crows which screech day and night and drove me nuts. Otherwise our point score would have been much higher.

This is a very family friendly park, but the price is the same all year around, no off peak prices and they have a minimum of 4 night stays in ensuite sites. Possibly in others as well. The park was almost full of people who stay for a minimum of 6 months, so there were not a lot of genuine tourist sites available.

Likes: The cafe was delightful, food delicious and reasonably priced. This is the nicest park, close-ish to Brisbane, but it is the pick of a very sad bunch.
Dislikes: The entire park is used by semi permanent people for 6 months work visits and they were very communal. We felt like intruders in their park. With the park demanding a minimum stay of 4 nights, we found it hard to find 4 nights worth of things to do in Brisbane, so resented that demand.
Parking: special check in lane

There are 12 ensuite sites with concrete slabs, most of the other powered sites were mainly grassed. The park has 5 amenity blocks located throughout the park with laundry & ladies & men's toilets. The showers had a small lip between the shower & the drying area but the water still ran out on to the drying area. There were no mats provided & the tiles were slippery. Soap & electric dryer provided but no hooks or towel rails near the hand basins. $50 key deposit was a bit much. $238 per week 2A was reasonable value. When we were there a conference was being held in a marquee & on the last night they had a band which played until 11.15 pm. When I complained the next morning the receptionist apologized & said they should have stopped at 10 pm

Local Information: Close to main Brisbane CBD and good public transport.

Have stayed here before but new management badly needs a lesson in people skills. We booked for a week and were given a site under a silky oak tree which dropped twigs and debris on the van all day and night. It was in full flower so constantly occupied by parrots and their associated noise and droppings. In addition possums and bats constantly crapped on the van and awning making a terrible mess. I felt fully justified in washing my rig before we left and was barked at by a park worker with all the diplomacy of a pit bull and ordered to report my indiscretion to the office (yeah as if I would). Brisbane is no longer short of water but in the showers a notice tells you to restrict showers to 3 mins, what a joke. Also they have buckets in the showers that they expect you to fill with waste water then put on the gardens afterwards. We had no hot water for one day due to boiler maintenance but there was no allowance for that. Noise is not a big problem but you are directly under the flight path for Brisbane airport and jets taking off are intrusive. Will not stay here again despite its handy position. Reasonable value for money ($35 2A, ensuite, shoulder season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, hot water was usually adequate but not when busy. Adequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, annex slabs to most sites, shade to some sites.

50 acres of mostly grassed and mostly level ground to pick your site, amenities coped ok when quiet but I believe they hire portaloos at Easter etc. Well managed no hoons allowed. Watch the possums they will steal your food. The secure entry gate was installed while we were there. Lots of nice drives nearby. Friendly staff. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($14 2A per night). Amenities are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, extra charge for shower.

Manager's name is Peter and Pauline. Hard to assess friendliness of owners, Peter was friendly but Pauline could be quite curt (especially if you have an enquiry at 7.30am - that's when the office opens). The owners have spent a lot of money doing up the park, and although the park is clean, neat and tidy, the $40 per night is a bit too much as this park has no other special facilities such as a pool. Some sites close to the laundry are quite claustrophobic. Owners have a notice advising you not to request a particular site as you may be offended. Milk and drinks available at office. Average staff friendliness. Reasonable value for money ($40 2A per night, peak season). $200 per week peak, normally $185 per week. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, paper towels/dryer provided. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, annex slabs to most sites, no sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by.

Suitable for a week or more, well maintained park.
Likes: Excellent concrete slabs, concrete parking strips for your car attached to the slab. Concrete roads around the park. Large showers.
Dislikes: No shade at all. Not enough clotheslines. Children in park allowed to use their skateboards on the concrete roads. Caravan booking in a problem as the entrance to the park is also a car park for the cafe at the front of the park.
Added Touches: Cafe at front of park, very friendly staff, good food and a view to the beach.
Local Information: Bribie Island not too far away. Great alfresco dining at Scarborough and Redcliffe foreshore. Major shops are close by. A must visit to purchase fresh seafood at Morgans which is about a 6 minute walk from the park. Lovely council park adjacent to the caravan park right on the beach, has picnic areas and playground. Can go fishing. Can have dogs on a leash and doggy poo bags are supplied. Good bicycle/walk ways thru park and around the foreshore and marina area. Yacht Club also walking distance.

This park has a beautiful location next to the marina and next to a beach, which is not patrolled, and no waves. A little cafe next door also. Nice to just sit and relax and listen to the water.

Tried to book in with a 37 ft bus. Park Manager wasn't interested - said that the park wouldn't take vehicles larger than a Coaster, despite a very large (30ft or longer) 5th wheeler parked in a space near the office. Was disappointing as park is in a great location and from the street looks pretty good.

Report submitted by Paul (2).

This is virtually a brand new park. All that remains of the old park is part of the boundary fence. A lot of thought has been involved in the design of the park. Most tourist sites are drive through and are angled so that when you sit under your awning you are not looking at the next door caravan. A lot of the sites are long enough to take the longest 5th wheeler or motorhome and leave room to spare. Two wide concrete strips run the length of each site with extra concrete 'triangles' at each end where, often, van wheels will 'cut the corners'. In between the concrete strips is all lawn. In addition to the taps for hoses there are extra taps with drains to wash out those coffee pots etc. The amenities are the most modern we have seen with shower cubicles big enough to hold a party in. Water flow is from full size heads and is hot and strong. There is a small laundry with brand new washers and dryers plus disabled cubicles. The dump point is raised, so that emptying your cassette is not so hard on your back, and surrounded by concrete so that you are not standing in mud as you empty. A brand new barbecue area overlooks Deception Bay. There are no children's playground, playroom, swimming pool, internet facilities or camp-kitchen and no ironing board in the laundry but there are excellent walking tracks along by the beaches in both directions plus, within 100m of the park there are bus stops where you can catch buses to all parts of the peninsula plus three different routes to Brisbane. There are garden beds around the perimeter but, in the body of the park, no trees, shrubs or gardens. It is a very basic park but what there is, is of a very high quality. Suitable for a few nights or longer.

Park has mainly permanents and have been told earmarked for development. Office staff friendly but closes for lunch and few hours on Sunday. Cost $32 for powered site. Were some tourist sites down by river but we were near front on what had been a cabin site. So water and sullage was under van which was a bit tricky. Concrete slab and plenty of room to park next to that. 2 large blocks of amenities were clean but rarely saw anyone in ladies as few tourists in this area. Water pressure and temperature were just adequate. Pool seemed clean but ducks swam in it and there was a neglected tennis court. Woolies and some shops very short walk. Didn't check out camp kitchen.

Friendly staff, average staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities.

Good playground in average condition. No pool. Suitable for a week or more, well maintained park.
Likes: Open park with plenty of space & right on the fabulous north-facing Flinders Beach. The beach has a lifeguard on duty through the busy holiday periods. The kids will like the local wildlife with possums & goannas active throughout the park - just watch out if you leave any unsecured food out though. This park has two amenities blocks, both are in a reasonable & generally clean condition, although they can be a bit of a hike depending on where you are. They now have a good undercover BBQ area with seating. The park provides all the basics.
Dislikes: Can be very crowded & a little noisy at times, especially the holiday period but to be honest where can you find a beachside park that isn't that way during the holidays nowadays
Local Information: Beautiful beaches, Great fishing, Whale watching, walking & a couple of kms up the road to Point Lookout township & the recently re-built Point Lookout Hotel. The Bowls Club is a couple of hundred m up the road & is a good spot for a reasonably priced meal & a cool beer.

UPDATED REPORT NEEDED

Manager's name is Kevin & Maree Chapman. On arriving at the park you have the option of walking past the boom gate and 150m up a hill to the office. The other option is to use the intercom to contact the office. To save yourself the hassle, walk up the hill, as the office may have no one in it and you may need to search for someone. Kevin and Maree have a very busy park. It took me two days to catch them in the office and book in. The one way road around the park is narrow and it is this road you will have to back your van onto the site from. Take more than a few minutes and you can have a few cars wanting to get past. And the permanents are not necessarily patient or friendly. They have their own section to the park but must use the same road. There are a few aircraft taking off or landing at the airport that is down the road, but this is Brisbane, most parks have planes flying over them. Our site, close to the amenities block was under a row of pine tree. At night, pine cones falling on the van made an interesting time. There were only two toilets and showers in each amenities block. You could walk another 75m up the hill into the permanent section and use theirs when peak time, or shower out of peak times. Friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Good value for money ($31 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, were clean, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, paper towels/dryer provided. Adequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, annex slabs to some sites, shade to most sites, hard to negotiate into site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by.

Manager's name is Simon & Tracey Gavin. We really enjoyed our three day break here, it's a beautifully maintained property with a laid back atmosphere. Fantastic for families with kids or family groups. You can be as active (canoeing, bushwalking, bike riding) or as relaxed (it's very peaceful) as you like. Each site has a campfire which was enjoyed by all. Friendly staff. Good value for money ($38.50 2A 2C per night, powered).

Likes: It is a beautiful area and very well maintained campground. Fantastic for kids as there are lots of open space to run and kick a ball, the BMX track is a bonus (but take the bandaids), the drop toilets were very well maintained with no unpleasant smells during our stay. Sites are large and can cater for a number of families, great when staying with friends. The creek runs through the campground is great for little adventures. A very peaceful place.
Dislikes: Could do with a few more amenities blocks, there were enough toilets for our needs, but the showers were a bit of a walk - this wasn't a big issue for us as we have a shower in the van.
Added Touches: Neurum Creek often has extra activities, while we were there, there was a wine tasting with local growers and nightly movies for the kids. Many other activities are listed on their website.
