Why Choose Glamping on the Gold Coast?

Glamping offers a softer take on camping, complete with proper beds, power, and private outdoor decks, allowing you to be close to nature without sacrificing comfort. On the Gold Coast, you get natural bushland and wildlife on the doorstep, plus easy access to big attractions and Village Roadshow Theme Parks when you want a change of pace. Paradise Country Farmstay offers both powered camp sites and eco-tent accommodation, allowing you to choose the level of comfort that suits you.
