Tallebudgera Creek

This is arguably the Gold Coast's most popular caravan spot. Set up your van at the famous Tallebudgera Creek Tourist Park, right on the banks of the crystal-clear, calm estuary. It's paradise for families, swimmers, and paddleboarders, and just across the bridge from Burleigh Heads.
