Cairns Beaches Beaches Caravan Parks

Back in the 50's and 60's most Australian families had their annual holiday in a beachfront caravan holiday park and every one was jam packed in together and a world of fun was had with this simple style of family holiday.

Planning ahead and booking ahead were absolutely vital as these were the days when there were not too many families that could afford to fly anywhere nor think about staying in a fancy resort or hotel. Self contained holiday apartments were not even thought of then.

This style of family holiday has come back into vogue not only for families but also for the grey nomads and the youthful backpacker. Privately run Caravan Parks have become a lot more sophisticated now with lots of children's play areas and games rooms built to keep them amused and out of mum and dads hair. These new wave caravan parks have internet, restaurants, tour bookings, putt putt golf courses and so much more than the council run caravan parks.
