Forrest Beach RV Park Open Again Ahead of Busy Period

The RV Park in Forrest Beach is open again following its forced closure during the recent widespread flooding event. On Tuesday 1 April the popular camping spot was reopened for travellers.

Under the new lease passed by council the RV park will be open until the midnight Friday 31 October.

The Forrest Beach Progress Association are caretakers of the park, on behalf of council, and they are looking forward to another busy season.

The caravan park primarily caters to travellers escaping the colder southern climates, with peak occupancy occurring between late June and early August.

The Forrest Beach Progress Association provide essential information to new arrivals about local attractions, encouraging extended visits and return trips. Many travellers revisit the area on their journey home, further boosting local businesses.

For the 2025 season a change has been made to the parks requirements. Previously visitors had to be fully self-contained, including their own water supply. But this year they don’t. Travellers with roof-top tents are able to use the park, this adjustment expands accessibility while maintaining order within the limited space available.

As the season progresses, The Forrest Beach Progress Association expect a gradual increase in visitors, with peak occupancy in mid-year. The caravan park remains a vital asset to the local economy, providing a welcoming stop for travellers while supporting businesses and jobs within the shire.
