Find a wide selection of campervans and motorhomes for hire in Gold Coast and the surrounding area.

Flexible booking, competitive prices and insurance included.
The Gold Coast stretches across 57 kilometres of coastline in south-east Queensland, making it one of Australia's longest unbroken stretches of surf beach and a natural playground for road-trippers. From the iconic Surfers Paradise skyline to the ancient subtropical rainforest of Springbrook National Park, the region packs an extraordinary range of landscapes into a compact area. The drive from Coolangatta at the southern border to the northern reaches of South Stradbroke Island covers roughly 70 kilometres, while a detour inland from Burleigh Heads to the Lamington National Park plateau is just 60 kilometres yet climbs through dramatically different terrain. You can cruise past the golden sand of Currumbin Beach, explore the wildlife sanctuary at Currumbin, then wind through the lush hinterland valleys around Mount Tamborine, where galleries, distilleries and walking trails reward a slower pace. The Gold Coast's well-maintained roads and plentiful campsite options make it ideal territory for both campervans and larger motorhomes. Whether you fancy whale watching off Point Danger or hiking to the Natural Bridge glow-worm cave, there is always something around the next bend. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across the Gold Coast, choosing from a range of vehicles that suit your group size and travel style — a flexible, community-driven way to experience this stretch of Australia's eastern seaboard.
The Gold Coast enjoys a subtropical climate with warm temperatures for most of the year, making it a fantastic destination in every season. April to May and September to October offer comfortable daytime warmth and quieter campsites, ideal for exploring at your own pace. The Gold Coast 600 motor race in late October draws big crowds, while the Blues on Broadbeach music festival each May fills the foreshore with free live performances. Summer, from December to February, is peak season with lively beaches and longer daylight hours — book your Yescapa campervan early to secure the best choice from local owners. Winter months bring mild, dry days perfect for hinterland hikes and outdoor markets.
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
Wind from Nerang through the Gold Coast hinterland to Mount Tamborine's Gallery Walk, then south to Canungra and up to O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat in Lamington National Park. Around 140 km of scenic roads with well-spaced campervan-friendly stops and short bushwalks along the way.
Follow the coast from Surfers Paradise south through Burleigh Heads, Currumbin and Coolangatta, dipping into Tweed Heads just across the border. This 120 km route suits any motorhome size, with beachside parks and the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary adding variety to your days.
Head south from Broadbeach along the Pacific coast through Coolangatta, Kingscliff and Brunswick Heads before reaching Byron Bay. At roughly 300 km return, this route pairs Gold Coast surf culture with the relaxed Northern Rivers vibe. Campervan parks dot the route at regular intervals.
From the Gold Coast, drive west through Beaudesert and around the Scenic Rim to Boonah, then loop via Rathdowney and back through Lamington National Park. Covering about 380 km, the circuit passes farmland, national parks and the Great Dividing Range — ideal for a motorhome adventure with cooler highland campsites.
Travel north from the Gold Coast through Brisbane and on to the Sunshine Coast's Noosa Heads, then return via the hinterland through Maleny and Montville. This 520 km loop showcases Queensland's best coastal and mountain scenery, with plenty of powered campervan sites along the route.
Combine the Gold Coast, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Granite Belt wine region near Stanthorpe in one extended loop of around 650 km. You will cross from beaches to vineyards and eucalyptus forests, with campsite options ranging from beachfront parks to quiet rural retreats suited to larger motorhomes.

The Gold Coast offers a wide selection of campsites spread from the beachfront to the hinterland hills. Coastal parks typically provide powered sites, dump points and easy beach access for campervans, while inland options near Springbrook and Tamborine Mountain sit among rainforest with hot showers, barbecue areas and walking trails. Many parks cater to motorhomes of all sizes with drive-through sites and full hook-ups, so you can choose a base that matches your itinerary.
The M1 Pacific Motorway is the Gold Coast's main arterial route, running north–south and connecting Brisbane to the region without tolls. Speed limits for motorhomes over 4.5 tonnes are generally capped at 100 km/h on motorways, while standard campervans follow regular car limits. The M1 features well-signed rest areas with parking bays suitable for larger vehicles, and fuel stops are frequent along the corridor. Local roads through the hinterland, such as the Springbrook and Tamborine Mountain routes, include winding sections with occasional steep grades — take your time and use lower gears on descents. No vignette or toll is required on Gold Coast roads themselves.
great van a few interior problems but apart from that all good
check in took 1.40 hr! legible dirty outside with tape repairs to window and mirror paid for gas but when we got there found canister was empty and we had to replace ourselves
Everything was amazing
Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!
Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!
Sergey's van is great. Really spacious, easy to drive. We had a great trip. Sergey was really nice helpful and was on hand to help with any questions during the trip. He even gave us a lift to the train station in Ljubljana! Would 100% recommend.
