Just 4km north of the city, this place offers a row of tidy cabins (with air-con), on-site caravans and a sea of van and tent sites. It also offers five budget rooms ($70 per person), each with bunk beds and a fan, plus a fully equipped communal kitchen. Not much in the way of distractions for kids.
From central Brisbane, buses 345 and 390 stop around 200m east of the caravan park (ask the driver for Newmarket Gardens Caravan Park). Alternatively, it's a 1.2km walk southwest of Newmarket train station.
