The bathrooms here also come with a washing machine and dryer, while the kitchen is equipped with an oven and dishwasher.
At the time of writing, the price of waterfront cabins starts from $195 per night.

Powered Grass Sites
![Review of the Tallebudgera Caravan Park](https://www.visiting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Review-of-the-Tallebudgera-Caravan-Park-5.jpg)
Dotted around the park you will also find several grass-powered sites that will set you back $51 a night.
Some of these sites have concrete slabs and there are also drive-through options available for those with big vans.
Powered Ensuite Sites
Fancy a slightly more luxurious camping experience? Then why not invest in a $69 per night-powered ensuite site?
There are 16 of them available overall, and they do book out quickly. However, if you manage to procure one, you will be fairly close to the waterfront and be on a nice site, with a bathroom, that is also on a slab.
Unpowered Sites
![Review of the Tallebudgera Caravan Park](https://www.visiting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Review-of-the-Tallebudgera-Caravan-Park-10.jpg)

Tallebudgera Creek
![Review of the Tallebudgera Caravan Park](https://www.visiting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Review-of-the-Tallebudgera-Caravan-Park-3.jpg)
The main attraction at the Tallebudgera Caravan Park is of course its stunning creek.
Boasting shimmering waters and wide expanses of white sand, this is a great spot for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and SUP.
The swimming takes place in a netted area that is well away from the nearby boat ramp, and there are plenty of shaded spots by it to chill out under.
Swimming Pools
In the centre of the caravan park, you will also find three swimming pools.
One of these is a massive lagoon-style swimming pool which accommodates two small water slides.
Adjacent to this pool is a shallow pool for babies, while an adults-only swimming pool is situated a short distance away.
Playground
At the top of the caravan park, there is a small playground for the little children.
Tennis Court
Close to the playground, also at the top end of the park, there is a tennis court available to hire.
To play on it bookings are imperative, though they are free to make. If you don’t have your own gear you can always hire a set of balls and a racket for $5.
Go Carts
The park also has go-carts, which you can hire at a cost of $12 for 30 minutes for a single go-cart, or $15 for a double go-cart.

Generally, on most weekends of the year and in particular, during the school holidays, the Tallebudgera Caravan Park puts on activities like ball games, movie nights, trivia nights and crafts.

Amenities at Tallebudgera Creek Caravan Park
The Tallebudgera Caravan Park provides a number of amenities designed to ensure that guests have as comfortable a stay as possible.
Some of the key amenities that are available onsite include the following:
Toilets and Showers
![Review of the Tallebudgera Caravan Park](https://www.visiting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Review-of-the-Tallebudgera-Caravan-Park-7.jpg)
Within the park, you will find two massive toilets and shower blocks.
One of these is situated near the central swimming pool area, whilst the other is out by the waterfront.
These toilets and showers are very well maintained. Although depending on where you are, at the time that nature calls, they can be a bit of a walk to get to.
Camp Kitchen
The camp kitchen is situated in the furthest corner of the caravan park.
It features a microwave, fridge, drinking water, toaster, sinks and picnic benches.
Although it is a decent size overall, it is probably a bit on the small side when you consider how many people are at the camp. So there are often queues to use it.
It is probably a good idea to have your own cooking facilities and not rely solely on the camp kitchen for your meals.
Laundry Facilities
Located in both the toilet and shower blocks is a huge laundry area which features several washing machines and dryers.
There is also a massive outdoor area that houses lots of space for hanging your washing, which is kept out of public view by a wall.
Kiosk and Food Truck
Not too far from the main entrance of the Tallebudgera Caravan Park, you will find an excellent kiosk and a permanent food truck.
The kiosk sells everything from basic grocery items and coffee to sandwiches and ice creams, while the food truck offers some delicious meals.
The food truck operates from Monday to Thursday between 5 pm to 7.30 pm, while on Friday to Sunday it is open from 12 pm to 7.30 pm.
Dump Point
Just outside the amenity block, which is located closest to the waterfront area, you will find a dump point.
Massage
Arguably one of the best features of the whole caravan park is that it has a massage service onsite!
Offering a range of treatments, this is a very popular service which offers a great way to completely relax. But you will need to book a slot to avoid disappointment.
