The RV park at the Mossman Golf Club has become a reality with the first round of travellers rolling into the camping area.

Earlier this week Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr officially opened the new 18-site RV park.

The new venture allows self-contained recreational vehicles to stay up to seven nights where they can play golf at discounted rates and enjoy the club’s bar and restaurant.

Club Captain John Carney said the new park suited quiet RV travellers looking to explore the region and have a hit of golf.

“Campers will get great views of the cane fields and surrounding mountains at the doorstep to Mossman and the Daintree,” he said.

“We have daily happy hour specials, as well as discounted buggy hire and golfing rates to keep our guests entertained.”

Attracting keen golfers

The Mossman Golf Club has long pushed for the RV park and after eight years of trying to get it through Council, the new venture is finally there, ready to attract keen golfers. 

The camping area is located at the rear boundary of the golf course at the Newell Beach turnoff, north of Mossman.

Council did drainage works and approved the new RV Park earlier this year, providing a discount on infrastructure charges and deferred payment.

Mayor Kerr said the park provided an additional revenue stream for the community club.
“Everyone wants to see the Mossman Golf Club thrive and continue to be an important part of the community,” he said.

“The new RV park has the potential to bring more visitors into Mossman and have them stay here longer.”
