Queensland caravan stays · South East
South East Queensland works well as two different EV caravan escapes: a coastal family base on the Gold Coast, or a quieter inland stay near Somerset. Both make the most of destination charging while your car is parked. This guide uses operator-published NRMA charging information and keeps the two areas as separate trip options rather than suggesting an unnecessary loop.
Pick your base
Treasure Island at Biggera Waters gives you a Gold Coast base with beaches, waterways and family attractions nearby. Lake Somerset is a separate inland option for a slower water-and-country break. Compare the driving you want to do after check-in: parking the caravan and exploring locally can be simpler than towing between both destinations.
Before booking, confirm the exact cabin or shared charger arrangement. NRMA's published list distinguishes charger power and whether a charger is assigned to a cabin or communal area, and that configuration can affect how you plan the stay.
Charging plan
The Queensland Electric Super Highway and local public networks provide route-planning options across the state's main travel corridors. Use the current TMR location list and operator apps to confirm connector compatibility, access and live status. On the Gold Coast, map a public fast-charge alternative before arriving at the park; for Somerset, plan the return corridor before you head inland.
Destination chargers are usually a slower AC top-up while you are parked for hours. Let the car charge during the stay, then use a public fast charger for a time-sensitive highway stop.
Stay shortlist
NRMA lists EV chargers at Treasure Island and Lake Somerset. The published park table gives Treasure Island 7 kW charging, including cabin plugs, and Lake Somerset 7 kW cabin plugs. These details are useful starting points, but availability, fees and access conditions should be confirmed with the park at the time you book.
Travel safely
Check the physical charger layout before travelling with a caravan. If you need to unhook to use a public fast charger, plan a safe place to leave the van and do not obstruct a charging bay. Bring the correct Type 2 cable if the park's unit requires it, and follow the instructions given by the accommodation provider.

EV-friendly places
EVITAL selects properties with published EV-charging information and caravan accommodation. Charger access, fees and site availability can change, so confirm current details directly before booking or relying on a charger.
A Gold Coast family resort with caravan sites, easy access to local attractions and operator-listed EV charging.
An inland water-and-country alternative for visitors who want a quieter base away from the coast.
Common questions
NRMA lists charging at the resort, but its table distinguishes cabin and communal plugs. Confirm which arrangement is available to powered-site guests, and whether the bay can fit your vehicle and van.
That depends on your vehicle, arrival charge, local distance and charger access. Use the park charger as a destination top-up and check a compatible public option before each longer day trip.
