Woodgate Qld

Hi All,
We are currently at Woodgate Caravan Park having some R and R for a week.
Woodgate is approximately 32 Kms east from Childers and is a very long but narrow village with a mix of old and very new homes; some quite magnificent. The village has a hardware, baker, general store, real estate office, a tavern and the Woodgate Club; all very acceptable businesses to patronise.
The Burrum National Park is in the same vacinity and has numerous walking tracks but not for your doggie of course.
The caravan park allows pets under control as there are numerous kangaroos and other wildlife in the area nearby.
Currently the park is very empty as 320 persons left on monday for return to work/school tuesday. The park is across from the beach, with only a 50 kmph road in between, however it is a bit rough there at present due to the influence of the weather up north.
Bundaberg is only 59 kms to the north and that is we'll go tomorrow for the day out and possibly spend some more money in that community.
I hope I'm able to attach photos of the park with this post.

What site number you on Glannie? We like 211 and 212 but don't get 212 if it starts to rain, you may need to move.

Mate, site 303. Have you got a map? The bottom photo is taken looking towards where you like to camp.
We requested this site because it close to the amenities.
Last Oct we were on 222 and I needed a cut lunch and a compass to get to the toilet just for a pee!
211 and 212 would be worse.

They are a long way away from the dunnies but we mostly use our own. The camp kitchen is pretty nice and close and usually quiet down the back.
A good feed at the cafe at the front and only a short walk to the beach.
A very good place to get away for a while. I did recognise the photos, not a bad park at all.

Woodgate beach caravan park now has a new amenities block towards the back and 16 more new sites.

rjblmarsh1,
Thanks for that info; we go there for a week at least once per year.

What a great little place to stay with friendly staff, beaches, National parks a great tavern with good food and reasonably priced. Only down site was TV reception on the site we had, that just meant I didn't have to put up with all the rubbish that was on.

Wife & I stayed there recently for 4 days and could have stayed longer, will definitely go back again when travelling that way. Did a day trip through the national park and checked out the coast line in that area. Wow what a beautiful day it was with superb views. Word of caution tracks in and around have soft sand so lower tyre pressures and enjoy the ride.
