I'm heading to Burrum Heads next week with a tinny & need to know which is the best c/v park would be best for me to stay in either Burrum or Howard. I will be river fishing, so I need a boat ramp handy & need to know what tackle I should take (fish & crabs).I also know that it is school hols & I would like room to move (not over crowded).
Thanks Dave

I would give the Hillcrest Park a go but you may not get in as they all get pretty busy this time of year.

Cheers.

Hi Dave

Another option you may want to consider is to go to Woodgate. Woodgate is a neat seaside town south of Bundaberg. The caravan park there is pretty good and you are not far from the Burrum River but on the north side of it opposite Burrum Heads. You can launch your boat at Walkers Point.

Check out this website.

Well yeh I'm back.Burrum was great.The fish are still there in the river somewhere, and I didn't harm the crab population greatly either.I found a good ramp at Pacific Haven (Wal's Camp) caught 1 crab no fish nothing showed on sounder either.The weather was great and the dog was a hit with the locals who treated us like locals soon after arrival.We'll be back though to try again.

What's your take on the Hillcrest Park. I haven't been there for a while.

Cheers.

The park is now under new management which I found very casual maybe too casual. They have just put on a groundsman which may help the grass to grow. However the park overall was good and also handy to the boat ramp & yabbies.
My father recently stayed at the Riverside Park at Howard & found this park excellent as they have 4 jetties & 2 row boats for campers use. Crabs were good there also (he has no boat).
Hope this helps.
