I have owned boats all my life—and mine was usually known as “the party boat.” After buying my first caravan, I quickly understood why so many Australians love caravanning.
Boaties and caravanners share the same wonderful sense of community. People look out for one another, share stories and are always ready to lend a hand. That friendly atmosphere is exactly what I love about owning Longreach Caravan Park.
We’re a small park in Longreach Queensland, with a big heart, where guests can relax, feel welcome and enjoy a friendly catch-up at our popular afternoon happy hour.
What guests love about our park
We are a pet friendly caravan park and I loved hosting Croc from Darwin and his fur babies complete with "doggles". One of these dogs has travelled 60,000km with Croc!
Here's the story about some great folks that stayed in the Longreach Caravan Park, They lost their caravan door in Western Australia and had to improvise. Now with everyone signing their new door (including me!) they'll have some great memorabilia to take back home with them.
It was great to be able to host Jane and Geoff from the Flying Buskers who were travelling round in their caravan raising money for the Flying Doctors. It was great to be able to help a great cause and have a bit of fun as well!!
Real experiences shared by guests who have stayed with us.

Stayed in powered site, service was absolutely fantastic. Some sites have new slabs, access to fresh water (not bore water like neighbouring parks), clean facilities and a fantastic meet and greet on site at around 4:30pm. Can’t compliment the park managers high enough, they had great recommendations for tours and things to do in town, were so helpful and welcoming. Have been recommending them to anyone I meet heading to Longreach.

This is a small older style park that is being brought up to modern standards. Although it may be a tight fit at times, the super helpful managers will solve almost any issue. The fact that you are within walking distance of the shops is a bonus and the nightly get togethers a highlight. It was like staying with family.

Fantastic little park, great service and nice accommodation. Also, the people running the park are amazing.
I will be back.

"Home for me was the Longreach Caravan Park!"
“After
full days exploring Longreach, I was always happy to return to Cabin No. 2—my home away from home.
Gavin would greet me and ask about my adventures. He was always busy caring for the grounds, cabins and guests, yet still made time to ensure everyone felt welcome.
At check-in, Gavin invited guests to the park’s daily 4pm Happy Hour, saying we might make lifelong friends—and he was right. It was a wonderful opportunity to relax, share a drink, swap stories and connect with fellow travellers.
As a solo traveller, those connections meant a great deal to me. I met other guests who became companions on local outings, including a visit to Ilfracombe and the Starlight Sunset Cruise. We quickly felt like old friends and looked out for one another.
Gavin’s genuine passion for the park and his guests was one of the reasons I chose to stay. My cabin was older in style but exceptionally clean, quiet and comfortable, with a wonderful bed. I felt completely safe and at home throughout my visit.
Longreach Caravan Park is a small, friendly park with a wonderful sense of community. I loved my stay and have no hesitation in recommending Gavin and Longreach Caravan Park.
