At Tiona Holiday Park, nestled between the ocean and lake in the heart of the Pacific Palms, we’ve seen every kind of traveller—from young families chasing nature-fuelled adventure with the kids (and dog in tow), to grey nomads soaking up the serenity of a well-earned retirement road trip. Whether you’re pitching a tent under the stars or checking into a breezy glamping tent high in the trees, the way you stay can shape your whole holiday experience.

So—glamping or camping? Let’s break it down to help you find your perfect stay.

For comfort-seekers, style-lovers, and travellers who want nature without sacrificing their creature comforts.

Tiona’s Treehouse Glamping Tents bring elevated luxury to the bush. Perched beneath a lush canopy of cabbage palms and paperbarks, these thoughtfully designed safari tents offer a spacious deck, plush king beds, power, lighting, and even fans to keep things cool on warmer days. It’s camping reimagined—no need to pack the gear, pitch a tent, or wake up with a crick in your neck.

Perfect for:
– Couples looking for a romantic weekend in nature
– Retirees who want the camping experience—minus the bending, hauling and fuss

And yes, all our glamping tents are pet-friendly, so your furry companion can come along too!

For those who love the simple joy of waking up with the sun, cooking on the BBQ, and telling stories around the campfire.

Whether you prefer being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves at our Beachside powered and unpowered sites, or waking to tranquil lake views at our Lakeside camping area, traditional camping at Tiona offers unbeatable connection to the outdoors.

There’s plenty of space to spread out, park the van, or set up the family tent—with both areas pet-friendly. You’ll also have access to great amenities blocks, a pool, BBQs, laundry facilities, and camp kitchens on both sides to make meals a breeze.

Perfect for:
– Families who love the fun of setting up camp and letting the kids roam free
– Grey nomads travelling in caravans or motorhomes
– Dog lovers who want to holiday with their best mate by their side

Choose Glamping If:

• You love the idea of sleeping under the stars but want a real bed

• You’re new to camping and want to ease into it

• You’re travelling light or for a special occasion

• You’d rather not fuss with gear, especially with kids or limited mobility

Choose Camping If:

• You love the ritual of setting up and settling in

• You’re on a road trip with your caravan or camper

• You enjoy cooking outdoors and swapping stories over the BBQ

• You want to keep things simple and cost-effective

Tiona Holiday Park makes it easy to try both—maybe you start with a few nights glamping in the trees to ease into holiday mode, then move to a lakeside site for the classic camping experience.

However you like to connect with nature—comfortably elevated or barefoot and beachside—we’ve got a spot ready for you.
