Where should I stay in Hervey Bay in a caravan park?
Most Hervey Bay caravan parks are within 15 minutes of each other, which means you're spoilt for choice when it comes to staying in a central location. If you're keen for some beach time, opt for a park closer to The Esplanade, but if you'd like a bit more peace and quiet, then aim for one more in the suburban areas.

The average cost for an unpowered site starts from $24 per night. Powered sites range from $30-$100 while ensuite sites average $40-$120. Cabins start from $80 and can fetch up to $480 depending on size, number of guests and amenities.
How long can I stay in a caravan park in Hervey Bay?
Some parks will allow you to stay long term if you need, including for periods up to a year with advance booking.
What should I consider when choosing a caravan park in Hervey Bay?
For longer trips away, look for a park with well-stocked laundry facilities and check for an on-site convenience store or kiosk, so you don't have to drive for supplies.
Families travelling together should keep an eye out for a variety of age-appropriate activities, including bouncing pillows and playgrounds for the younger ones, and a games room or recreation area for the older kids.
Summers can get hot and humid, so if you're visiting from November to March, a swimming pool can help keep you cool.
Where can I park a campervan overnight in Hervey Bay?
Many areas in Hervey Bay have marked parking bays that are time limited, which means vehicles should not be parked for longer than the time permitted as penalties may apply. Your best bet to avoid hefty fines is to park in a caravan park where you'll find all the amenities you need, including bathrooms and power.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances.

If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle.
