Location is beautiful. Amenities clean and adequate. However there is no sullage on the sites, No TV reception.Very poor phone service and minimal WIFI.We booked 8 months out and requested sites close to our travelling companions however found ourselves at opposite ends of the park. Site 21 is very small and difficult to manoeuvre onto. really only suitable for small motor homes.We could not fold out our awning and had to park on the slab with the van.Barely enough room to set up a chair . We were very disappointed. Our allocated site was certainly very poor value for the money we paid.

The park is 5 star and the managers are simply amazing and ever so accommodating. Fishing is 5 star and the beaches are great for walks with the Puppies. Weather is perfect 24c during the day. Fishing offshore is made easy by all the close Islands including Great Keppel.

We booked in February 2023 for our stay at Island View for our 3 week stay in June, we were given the option of 2 sites which we were not that happy with, but had to accept because the park was fully booked, on several occasions I contacted the park asking if other sites had become available, and was told there were no others available. We had stayed at the park on several occasions over the years and we loved it. Unfortunately this time was different, we had been allocated site 35, directly opposite the new coffee shop and next to the amenities. Well the coffee shop opens at 7:30am till 10:00am, and is the meeting place for management and who ever is buying coffee, so at 7:30am every morning we were woken up with noise, (unfortunately not everyone wants to be woken at that time, and no thought for people and what they maybe going through and needed to sleep). It was also school holidays for part of our stay, there were some unruly children and this was reported to Maddie in reception and was asked to pass onto management, but unfortunately obviously that wasn't done. Will we return NO!…

Park is just perfect. We booked the week stay having no idea what to expect, powered site is the best we have had in our travels so far, large double slab across the road from the beach, backed our 21.6’ van in easily. Amenities are great, staff are very friendly. Pets are welcome. Park is very well located out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything to not feel too remote. Satellite TV cable is provided for perfect reception. We will be staying again for sure.

Good Morning, Just wanted to reach out to say thank you for the wonderful review. it is so good to hear that your stay with us was enjoyable and you recommend Island View Holiday Park to new guest. We are very lucky to have the dog friendly beach straight across the road, and being a pet friendly park it give our guest peace of mind knowing that they furry friends are very well come. Our park is also very quite considering that we have a lot of pets staying with us. We are 5 min drive to Emu Park and 12 min drive to Yeppoon. We wish you safe travels.

This park was unreal! Clean, tidy, nice amenities, and quiet. It was a great spot to unwind with just enough to keep the kids occupied without the crowds. It was also just 10 mins to Yeppoon and Emu Park. Some phenomenal beaches and coastlines to admire. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you for the review, it is very reassuring when a review like yours comes up that we are still on the right track of providing a park where guest can relax and unwind. It has take us, 10 year to put together a park for young older and middle age guests that can choose to sit back and relax or go out and explore the Capricorn coast line. We wish you safe travel and look ward to seeing you again in the future. Form the team at Island View Holiday Park.

The location of the park, amenities, cleanliness were all very good. However, we were extremely disappointed with our site allocation. When making a booking in March of this year for 4 nights in mid August, we only had 3 specific requests. A. A long caravan site; B. A slab as opposed to grass; and C. No trees in immediate surrounds. When we arrived we were given a grassed site under a large clump of trees. On a low point on the island with all grey water from neighbouring sites being discharged to surface. When I approach Reception I asked if there was any opportunity for me to be moved as I felt that with only 1 out nof 3 requests being satisfied I would at least be given consideration to accommodate my other 2 requests. At this point, the lack of customer service became very apparent very quickly with a full park and ongoing requests from other caravaners for accommodation they had no willingness to even consider any alternatives. I was offered a refund but this was disingenuous as they new full well that every caravan park on the Capricornia coast was full, the latter I confirmed when seeking an alternative. The take it or leave it mentality was their customer service mantra. BE WARNED - seek absolute confirmation in writing of all booking arrangements otherwise you will be disappointed and any subsequent requests for change will be dismissed.…

Trying to find accomodation on our way back from Airlie Beach, we had booked accommodation at Kinka Beach, we had no idea what it would be like. We were so impressed! The park was in constant contact with us and Crystal was most professional. We loved the beach was at our doorstep and the park was very quiet. Amenities were clean and easy to access. Thank you for an enjoyable stay, we will be back!

Thank you for this wonderful review. I will pass the message on to Crystal for you. Alot of guest travellers find us but are not sure where we are and what we offer. Island View Holiday Park is south, 5 mins from Emu Park and north, 12 min from Yeppoon, which makes our park in between. Island View Holiday park is very dog friendly and the kinka Beach across the road is dog friendly too. We have two swimming pools, one for families and one an adults only pool. two BBQ areas and a paradise Hub where there is free WIFI connection for visiting guests. We hope that you visit again soon, safe travels From the Team Island View Holiday Park

We really enjoyed our stay from the moment we booked by phone we spoke to a lovely lady named Crystal who was very helpfully and till the time we left all the staff was friendly. We stayed in one of the Chalet Cabins and it was well cleaned and tidy also good sea views and the whole pack was well maintained. Would highly recommend Island View Caravan Park to anyone

We stayed for a few days here in December 21. The facilities are quite impressive - two pools, multiple gathering areas, and a huge airconditioned games room. The park was quite busy when we were there, but it handled the number of guests quite well. We actually left a day early, as the weather was closing in, and we actually struggled to find much to do in the Yeppoon area (our Keppel day trip had to be cancelled due to bad weather). The park is quite a ways from town, but given how busy they were, im assuming its mostly repeat business for people looking to park up and read/relax etc. The beach is across the road, but it's not very inviting (kinda muddy and very shallow). That said, if you are coming to Yeppoon you probably know what to expect. Great to see family run independent parks still around, an this one is a credit to the owners. If I was going to give a tip - maybe the local accommodation places and the local council and tourism and restaurants could come up with a handout for travelers from outside the Capricorn region, to ensure they are aware of all the good things on offer (places to see, discount vouchers, what to do if it's raining). As it stands we wouldn't rush back to Yeppoon, but maybe we didn't see the best of the region. Also, the council should invest in a bike path from Emu to Yeppoon - the road is narrow and not safe for cyclists.…

Responded 20 Jan 2022
Thanks you for review, It is good to see new guest looking into this area, We have been in the park for 8 years and have built the park to very reputative park that a lot of guest talk about on their travels. So may travellers over the past have enjoyed this area, just for the fact they can stop unwind and relax and recharge before moving on. We have safe and relaxing park. With great amenities and facilities to enjoy. The beach across the road is dog friendly which give our guest the great comfort that their pets can come with them. Bad weather was from the top QLD to the bottom and give that weather can not be predicted, All areas have to do there best they can at the time. The comments you refer too. I believe would be bester off taken to the local Council and Government not on a business review. As local council and Government do not look at our review. We wish you safe travels From the team at Island View Caravan Park
