Lake Maraboon Holiday Village

We stayed at Lake Maraboon Holiday Village, a Top Tourist Park which is about 17 kilometres from Emerald in central Queensland. This was a really lovely place to stay and we were allocated a lovely caravan site overlooking the water. Local birds come to visit each morning and evening - I guess looking for a feed. We even saw a possum that ran in front of me before scampering up a nearby tree.

Features of this lovely caravan park include:

• deluxe Villa’s sleeping up to six, and ensuite Cabins - overlooking the lake
• powered sites, for camping, caravans, and motor homes
• camp kitchen and barbeques
• Boat and kayak hire
• Conference facilities
• Kiosk
• Swimming pool
• lakeside restaurant and bar (open during the busy season)
• fuel and gas refills available
• amenities are very clean - no keys required - laundry facilities

Lake Maraboon Holiday Village provides plenty of space to park your boat as the lake is a popular for fishing and catching a type of crayfish called red claw - the males have bight red nippers. This is a very popular caravan park during school holidays - plenty of space for the kids to run around, lots to explore and the lake is great for a variety of water sports.

We walked down to the edge of the lake to enjoy the sun setting over the water which was beautiful. I am more than happy to recommend this as a place to stay when holidaying near Emerald - the facilities are great and the staff were friendly and helpful.
