Southside Holiday Village     Read more ...

The Southside Holiday Park at Rockhampton is a Top Tourist park found on the main road (Bruce Highway) as you head through town. As the name suggests it is on the southside of Rockhampton - approximately five minutes drive from the Rockhampton city centre and 30 minutes to Yeppoon on the coast. 

We called in to stay overnight on our way to Airlie Beach and were given a drive- through site in a lovely tropical garden setting. The site was flat and easy to access when we wanted to stay hooked up overnight. This is a lovely park which is well maintained - a little noisy as it has a railway line on one side and the main highway on the other - but very comfortable with clean amenities. A key is required for the amenities with a deposit left at reception - return the key to the office before departure in order to have your deposit refunded.

Southside Holiday Village facilities include:

  • Chalet - two bedroom Units - fully self contained 
  • Tropical Villa - fully self contained and sleep up to 4
  • Cabins - self contained and sleep up to 3 
  • Budget Cabins - sleep from 2-4 people - guests need to use the shared amenities.  
  • Ensuite Powered Sites - large grassy sites with own shower and toilet  
  • powered caravan sites - grassy or slab
  • Camping - a large grassy area, with plenty of shade
  • barbeque facilities
  • a well appointed camper's kitchen
  • children's playground
  • shop on site for basic supplies
  • Half court tennis
  • Swimming pool
  • Laundry 
  • Internet Kiosk plus hot spot wireless access

As you can see this is a very well equipped Holiday Village offering a large variety of cabins for short stays. We were advised to leave early on the day of our departure in order to turn onto the busy highway heading north. This was a lovely place to spend the night.
