Cotton Tree Caravan Park, Heritage camping site in Sunshine Coast, Australia
Cotton Tree Caravan Park extends across eight hectares of land between Maroochy River and Maroochydore Beach, offering varied accommodation options.
The site originated in 1873 as a camping reserve under native cotton trees, later becoming a regular Christmas camp location for the Salvation Army from 1896.
The park represents Queensland's outdoor recreational traditions, connecting generations of visitors through shared experiences of coastal camping and caravanning.
The facility provides powered caravan sites, unpowered tent spaces, deluxe villas, beach houses, barbecue areas, and laundry services for guests.
Visitors can access both river and ocean waters directly from the park grounds, enabling activities from surfing to windsurfing in one location.
