The Best Family Holiday Park Awards

Splashing waves, towering trees, open plains and rugged coastlines set the stage for Australia’s most memorable family escapes. Holiday parks put families at the centre of the action, pairing the great outdoors with creature comforts. Today’s parks offer a mix of space, comfort and fun that is impossible to resist. Sure, they still deliver the classic campfire moments and relaxed pace, but modern extras like splash parks, resort-like pools, playgrounds, live entertainment and standout eateries take the holiday park experience to a whole new level. Families can pitch a tent, arrive in a caravan or motorhome or settle into cabins, villas or glamping tents, with each choice shaping a distinct way to experience the surroundings. Across the country, the holiday parks celebrated in the Readers’ Choice Awards deliver stays that balance comfort, adventure and connection, giving families affordable freedom without compromise. Many even welcome four-legged family members, ensuring no one gets left behind.

And so, without further ado, please find your favourite Australian holiday parks in:

• New South Wales’ Best Holiday Parks
• Victoria’s Best Holiday Parks
• Queensland’s Best Holiday Parks for Families
• The Best Holiday Parks in Western Australia
• Tasmania’s Best Holiday Parks
