You’re not imagining it: Australia’s new generation of holiday parks have more in common with luxury resorts than they do with the caravan parks and public campgrounds of the past.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMore than being just a place to stay, holiday parks provide an all-inclusive experience for travellers, often being able to cater to a variety of tastes and, critically, budgets. Most operate as self-contained leisure centres with immaculate landscaping and extensive facilities, offering everything from powered campsites with private en-suite bathrooms to increasingly luxurious self-contained accommodation, including freestanding houses and apartments that can cater to large groups.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, their rapid rise in popularity hasn’t just been from the improvement in facilities. More than ever, people are finding a new sense of community and friendliness at the parks, which have an appeal for people of all ages, and cater to all comfort levels. Many are also being designed with inclusivity in mind, with numerous facilities catering for guests with disabilities.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe majority of these holiday parks are only accessible by car – perfect for road trippers – while many are located in prime positions in smaller towns, offering an authentic local experience and a chance to support the travel industry.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOf course, there’s no doubt that a cornerstone of their success has also been the breadth and depth of the kids’ facilities they offer. In the caravan parks of old, a pool and kiosk serving hot chips might have passed muster. Nowadays you can find everything from giant jumping pillows to full scale water parks with slides, kids’ clubs with daily activities, movie nights, mini-golf and wet weather indoor playgrounds.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDiscover what’s on offer at one of these six brilliant parks located across the country:\u003C/p\u003E\r\n"}},{"organism":"PromoSimple.Text","color":"inherited","id":"/content/shell/countries/australia/en_au/motorists/go-well-content-hub/new-generation-holiday-parks/jcr_content/root/main/section_copy_copy_co/simple_copy_copy_cop/text_1118601683_copy_871063186","model":{"text":"\u003Ch4\u003E1.
