What to do and see on the Capricorn Coast
Your Campervan, Caravan, Motorhome & RV hire unlocks the best of the Capricorn Coast, a sun-drenched stretch of Central Queensland where the rainforest meets the reef. From island hopping in Keppel Bay to scenic hinterland drives, this region offers a relaxed tropical escape best explored at your own pace in your home on wheels.
)
Scenic Drives
Drive your motorhome along the Scenic Highway from Yeppoon to Emu Park, a coastal route that offers sweeping ocean views and passes the Singing Ship monument. For a change of scenery, take the short drive north to Byfield State Forest, where the road winds through lush pine plantations and rainforests, offering a cool retreat from the beach.
)
Nature & Parks
Park your RV and explore the spectacular Byfield National Park, home to massive sand dunes and rare flora like the Byfield fern. Closer to town, cool off at the Yeppoon Lagoon, a stunning infinity pool right on the foreshore that overlooks the Keppel Islands, or take a walk through the Capricorn Coast National Park to see volcanic plugs and coastal heathlands.
)
Local History & Culture
Immerse yourself in the region's heritage at the Emu Park Historical Museum or visit the Singing Ship, a unique monument that commemorates Captain Cook’s exploration of the area. Your campervan hire gives you the freedom to visit the Dreamtime Cultural Centre in nearby Rockhampton to learn about the Darumbal people, the traditional custodians of this land.

Local Tastes (Food/Drink)
The Capricorn Coast is a growing foodie destination. Park up and enjoy a meal at The Waterline Restaurant at Keppel Bay Marina, famous for its paddock-to-plate philosophy using local beef. For a more casual vibe, grab some fresh fish and chips and eat them on the Yeppoon foreshore, or visit a local market to stock your caravan fridge with tropical fruits like pineapples and mangoes.
)
Outdoor Adventure
Use your motorhome as a basecamp to explore the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Take a ferry from Rosslyn Bay to Great Keppel Island for a day of snorkeling, hiking, and swimming in crystal-clear waters. If you have a 4WD camper, the sandy tracks of Five Rocks in Byfield National Park offer a thrilling off-road adventure leading to remote, pristine beaches.

Camping Lifestyle
Experience the true freedom of the camping lifestyle at the Beachside Holiday Caravan Park in Yeppoon, where you can park your van just steps from the sand. For a nature-immersed stay, drive to the Red Rock camping area in Byfield State Forest, a spacious spot perfect for caravans that puts you right in the heart of the forest.
