I intend staying on the Gold Coast for a few days, to catch up with family. I can only find one very expensive Caravan Park in Helensvale Gold Coast Holiday Park. I am told there is another reasonable priced one in Helensvale, can't find anything on Google. Can anyone help. Thanks

We are looking to purchase a CT2500 Camper Trolley to move our tandem 18' van. They are fairly pricey, happy to pay if they are as good as claimed. Interested in any feedback that users may be able to offer, particularly if it works well on grass.
