Bongaree Caravan Park, Bribie Island

Bribie is an annual trip for us.  We enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and it's a quick easy trip from home on a Friday afternoon when school finishes. Its not real camping... more of a glamping trip... the only thing camping about our trip to Bribie is that we sleep in the camper trailer!

We booked our trip the previous year, before we knew we were having a baby, so we didn't know if we'd actually go until the last minute - Noel was keen as, but I must admit I was a little hesitant about talking a 3 week old baby camping.  Lauren was great! She slept well, fed well and even had her first 8hr sleep!  But I didn't venture too far from the campsite as we didn't have the pram because Noel had his golf clubs and there just wasn't enough room in the car for both! (I told you it wasn't real camping)

Bongaree Caravan park is located on the passage - just the road between you and the water, and mainly local  traffic going past.  I would say the caravan park does lack character, and first impressions aren't great - just a flat grassed area with a few trees and a 1.8m chain fence all the way around.  But you can walk across the road with your fishing rod, or if you have a boat, the ramp is across the road too.  The Bribie Bowls club is next door (recommend the Hot Rock Garlic Prawns -mmmm) or you can easily walk a little further for fish & chips or coffee & cake.

The park is very level, most sites have slabs and power, you will pay more for the "waterfont" sites, and there are cabins available too. The kids can ride their scooters or bikes around the park and still be within eyesite,  and the toilet block is large and clean.

I think we've already booked again for 2012!
