THE SETUP

A complete bell‑tent camp, ready on arrival

The package supplies a 5‑metre bell tent with an extra‑comfort queen spring mattress, luxury bed linen, rugs, fairy lights, tables, cushions and a personalised message board so the campsite feels like a proper room in the wild.

THE PROVISIONS

Local touches and gear to make camping easy

Included items cover the basics and more: towels and Whitsunday Spa amenities, drinking water and an esky, cooking stove and utensils, drinkware and dinnerware, camp chairs and a picnic rug — plus a complimentary bottle of local Mr Bean Cold Brew Coffee.

THE LOCATIONS

Beaches, bays, waterpark and rainforest options

You can choose from multiple Whitsunday settings — beachside at Horseshoe Bay, family‑friendly sites at a Cannonvale waterpark, bayside stays at Hydeaway Bay, an oasis at Cannonvale NRMA park, or a rainforest spot at Cameron’s Pocket — each offering a different strand of the region’s landscape.

What the day feels like

What the night feels like

This is slow travel in miniature: arrive to a pre‑set bell tent and daylight amenities, sleep on a sprung queen mattress with luxury linen, sip the complimentary cold brew and step outside into beach sand, caravan‑park bustle or rainforest hush — all over a stay that runs from a single night up to three.
