Trinity Island Holiday Park - February 2025

 Friday 7th February, 2025

We are out of here for our first camping weekend since last year - woohoo!!

A little update on our little family.......  we got another puppy at the end of October.  We missed having a puppy dog with us.  So,  we got a Blue English Staffy who was 11 weeks (poor little buggy had been overlooked), and we have called him Barney!  As you can imagine, Barney has quite a lot to learn, so still has his "L" Plates on and is 6 months old as I write this and still so cute.

Now, back to our camping weekend.  We went to somewhere new this time and our mates came along in their T-Van (they were supposed to have picked up their brand new Swag Hybrid caravan earlier in the week, but unfortunately the pick up had been delayed until a few days after our camping weekend).

We're heading to Trinity Island Holiday Park this weekend, staying in a powered site on their Pelican Island (our sites will face south).

After departing home though, the first stop is lunch at The Railway Hotel in Tiaro where we'll meet up with Doreen and Razzle.  Didn't even know this pub was in Tiaro, I came across it on a facebook site called "Country Pub Camping".

Beaut litte pub, oh so friendly bar staff (and she really loved little Barney, even had a couple of treats to give him 💖)  Lunch was enjoyable and filled the void that had appeared after breakfast 😂, now it's onwards to Trinity Island in Burrum River.








Arriving at Trinity Island we were greeted with a relaxing and pleasant campground, from the moment we turned in through the gates.  Stopping at the office to sign in (we were fully paid for when I did the online booking), we proceeded to our designated campsites on Pelican Island right on the water.  If you are not familiar with Trinity Island Holiday Park, it is a man made lake that has 3 islands created on it (2 with facilities) and campsite around the outside edge of the lake also.  They were building some more cabins when we were there.  They also have a wonderful Camp Kitchen, kayaks to use, sandy beach in front of the kitchen and amenities scattered around the camping areas.  Dump Point, powered and unpowered sites.  The is catch and release and you could catch Barramundi, Silver Perch and something else and of course it's Pet Friendly.  Powered site is $50/night.


We were set up by mid afternoon, so plenty of time to relax, afternoon drinks and nibbles.

Massive campsites

Our recently retired friends Razzle and Doreen, we quite happy to just have a relaxing weekend, so we didn't go for a drive or visit the Burrum River Pub - just opted for a slow relaxing day around the campsite.
Well Craig and Razzle did go for a paddle on Craig's kayak that we hauled up here (though the lake was a safe option for Craig to reacquaint himself with his kayak and not be washed out to sea or something.
Oh,  you can also go for a walk through the property to the Burrum River, where they have a deck over looking the river.

Afternoon was walkies time for Barney, who was getting a little frustrated being on a rope all weekend.  We took a nice little stroll around Pelican Island then over to the camp kitchen.





Camp Kitchen is a great area.

Drinks and Nibbles are sunset as you do and start the fires




They do make a lovely couple.......😆

Sunday is of course heading home day, but we did duck into Burrum Heads for a quick sit by the river and plan our next camping weekend with these guys, who will have their new Swag Caravan!

I'll leave you with a lovely shot of the Craig and Razzle admiring the Burrum River, until we camp again shortly.

Overall, we were all really impressed with Trinity Island Holiday Park (the couple we met at Millmerran Deb and Mark, actually gave us the recommendation to try this place 👍).
We will probably head back there at some point with the rest of our camping group when everyone is available.

See you around the campfire soon!  🔥
