Townsville Lakes Holiday Park

I have been here since October 23. My husband passed away in December so will be staying indefinitely so I can sell my motorhome and purchase a unit. It was already my favourite park and great having your own ensuite. All the staff are exceptional and have been amazing keeping an eye on me. The park is always well maintained and clean. Handy to everything local. Going to be hard to find a unit to compete with my view. Cannot recommend enough.

Bad roads. Extreme car noises all night. Fence falling down and kids jump over it, staff very friendly but highly over priced for this 'no sleep' van site. We were backed onto main road/drag ***** . It does have a small pool though

Happy to have located a holiday park fairly close to Townsville CBD with a pet-friendly option, but this particular one was rather ramshackle, with very badly potholed driveways and outdated cabins (ours had several badly cracked floor tiles), where the bathroom facilities are housed in an outside block. There were maintenance staff on site, but the big ticket items appeared to be lacking attention. Was expecting more a of tropical garden-like setting, but at least the pool area was attractive, check-in was easy and friendly and the cabin had a useful deck gate for the dog.

Fab campsite on the lake. we had our own ensuite toilet which was luxurious at that point was wet were near finished our east coast trip. there is a swimming pool in the campsite and it is very close to shops and restaurants.

If you decide to stay at this park make sure you get a site over near the lake. We were in the row where the site numbers are in the eighties and we backed onto a side street and behind us was a 24 hour convenience store, Pizza Hut, Mc Donald’s and a few other takeaways. We arrived on a Monday and left on the Saturday and hardly had any sleep as the Hoons start about 9pm with their hotted up cars and just rev their engines and do wheelies then there are the motor bikes as well, they all come out every night. We will not be returning to this caravan park. Also all sites have a double concrete slab which is not level and all sites also have their own en-suite and ours had a very musty smell about it.

We recently spent 3 nights in an ensuite site at the Townsville Lakes Holiday Park. Whilst it is conveniently located the condition of the park is very poor. Amenities very tired, taps leaking and the internal roadway is a disgrace. They are charging a high rate for a 2nd grade Caravan Park. Look elsewhere.

I must say firstly that the reception staff were welcoming, friendly and happy. Quick check in and l was onto my site. On leaving reception l did notice that the park did not look like the photos, instead the park looked tired, old and out of date. As for the lake, well if that’s what you call it then ok, tho I’ve lived on lakes and this isn’t one tho the mozzies love it there. The amenities are a great idea and very handy tho outdated compared to the photos. The location of this park really needs to be mentioned as it sits in the middle of two major roads so the traffic noise is one thing, tho the excavation right next door to the park was insanely noisy from dawn to dusk. This really should have been mentioned on check in. Another problem which associates to noise ontop of everything else is the amount of CURLEWS (noisy birds) at this park….l lost count and I’m used to these birds tho the 2nights were crazy. Definitely things to take into consideration.

Stayed for one night transiting to Hamilton islands. Jo and the crew was very easy to deal with, super friendly. The place was spacious and not crowded, the amenities was clean and tidy, will stay again! Bei
