Tweed Heads sits right on the New South Wales–Queensland border, where the Tweed River meets the Pacific Ocean — you can literally stand in two states at once at the Point Danger monument. The town's Razorback Lookout offers sweeping views across the river mouth and out to sea, while the nearby Tweed Regional Museum tells the story of the area's sugarcane and timber heritage. For nature lovers, the Tweed Heads Historic Site walking track winds through coastal rainforest, and the Captain Cook Memorial and Lighthouse at Point Danger marks the spot where James Cook sailed past in 1770. Coolangatta, just 2 km north across the border, shares the same stretch of golden beach, and the World Heritage–listed Springbrook National Park lies roughly 45 km to the northwest, where ancient Antarctic beech trees and waterfalls reward a day trip. The Tweed River itself is ideal for kayaking and fishing, and the flat coastal roads make driving a larger vehicle straightforward. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from a local owner in the Tweed Heads area, which often means flexible pick-up arrangements and genuine tips on the best riverside spots. Whether you plan to explore the hinterland rainforests or simply park up near the surf, Tweed Heads is a practical and rewarding base for a road trip along the east coast.
Tweed Heads enjoys a subtropical climate, so you can visit comfortably year-round. The Cooly Rocks On festival, usually held in June, fills nearby Coolangatta with live music and vintage cars — a great weekend to be in town with a campervan. September to November is ideal for whale watching from Point Danger as humpbacks migrate south. Summer (December to February) is the busiest period, so booking your motorhome through Yescapa early gives you access to competitive peer-to-peer pricing before availability tightens. Autumn (March to May) brings warm days, quieter campsites, and excellent surf conditions around Tweed Heads.

The Tweed Heads area offers a good mix of riverside and coastal campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. Most parks provide powered sites, dump points, laundry facilities, and modern amenity blocks with showers and toilets. Along the Tweed River and nearby coast you will find well-maintained grounds with easy access to boat ramps, walking tracks, and surf beaches — ideal for longer stays while you explore the border region.
Tweed Heads has several options for parking larger vehicles while you explore on foot. Overnight parking in public car parks is generally not permitted unless signposted, so plan to return to a campsite for the night. Always check height and length restrictions before entering multi-storey or covered car parks, as many are unsuitable for motorhomes. Roadside time limits apply in the town centre, typically two to four hours during business days.
The experience was seemles from start to finish. Handover was very straightforward with all the major information required exchanged. Fabian the owner remained available during the trip for any issues that may arise. The vehicle was as advertised and in very good condition. Very nice camping caravan, equipped with everything that you could need. The return process was straightforward when returning vehicle. Also my car was kept securley stored at the location for arrival and drop off. Overall very good experience and i would highly recommend and use again in the future.
We really enjoyed our travels around Brittany in Clarisse's camper van. It was comfortable and easy to drive and had everything we needed for our holiday. Clarisse explained everything clearly to us before we set off.
A really positive experience from start to finish.

The hire experience was excellent throughout. The owners were very friendly, accommodating and easy to deal with. We had such a good trip. The van is really well looked after and a pleasure to drive. The owners helped with anything we were unsure of and even gave us tips on where to eat and park up. We would definitely hire through these owners again.
