Forrest Beach RV Park Open For Business, For Longer

The RV Park in Forrest Beach is back open again. From the beginning of April, the popular camping spot has reopened for travellers.

The Forrest Beach RV Park will now be managed by the Forrest Beach Progress Association, who were previously caretakers of the park. They are looking forward to a very busy year, as even with challenging weather and fuel concerns, the park saw healthy numbers over the Easter long weekend.

The RV Park primarily caters to travellers escaping the colder southern climates, with peak occupancy occurring between late June and early August. However, the Progress Association has the foresight to keep the park open and available to travellers all year round.

The Forrest Beach Progress Association provides 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. With amendments made to the facilities in 2025, the RV Park has become an even more accessible spot for all types of campers and travellers.

Rooftop tents have popped up among the usual campervans and caravans; the variety of travellers has expanded.

As the season progresses, the Forrest Beach Progress Association expects a gradual increase in visitors, with peak occupancy in mid-year. The RV Park remains a vital asset to the local economy, providing a welcoming stop for travellers and a comfortable home base for holidaymakers coming to Forrest Beach to enjoy the fishing and local businesses.
