Southside Holiday Village

Rockhampton


This smartly run caravan park offers neat, self-contained cabins and villas, and large grassy campsites with access to a good kitchen. There's also a fish-filleting station and a gorgeous 100-year-old fig tree. Sheltered by tropical foliage, it’s about 3km south of central Rockhampton on the busy Bruce Hwy. Prices are for two people.
