Campground Adventure Park, Capricorn Yanchep

Located within the Beachside precinct of Capricorn Yanchep, Campground Adventure Park is a hillside Playground with a real “holiday park” feel. Set on the former Club Capricorn Resort camping ground, it makes the most of the natural slope and mature trees, and has been cleverly designed with nostalgic touches that parents will appreciate as much as the kids.

The first thing you’ll notice is the retro caravan theme. A large picnic shelter shaped like an old-school caravan sits near the main play area, giving the park a fun, quirky character.

In the toddler zone, a smaller open caravan structure continues the theme, doubling as a cubby and imaginative play space where little ones can “play house”, “camp” or “cook” for their friends.

The hero of the park is the bright yellow dune slide that snakes its way down the hillside. This enclosed tunnel slide starts from a platform perched at the top of the hill and winds halfway down, picking up a satisfying amount of speed that thrill-seeking kids will love. At the bottom, children land on a softfall surface for a safer finish. Reaching the slide does require climbing a decent flight of steps, but the payoff at the top is worth it.

For kids who like to climb, there’s an incline net climber made up of ropes and tyres, set over a woodchip surface. It’s perfect for building balance, coordination and confidence as they scramble their way up and across.

Nearby, a round basket swing hangs beneath the shade of large established trees. This style of swing is great for siblings or friends to ride together, or for younger children who might prefer lying back and being gently pushed. Softfall underneath helps cushion any tumbles.

The toddler area sits on the lower, flatter part of the park, making it easy for younger children and prams. This zone is sand-based and has good shade sail coverage, so it’s a cooler, more comfortable spot to play on hot days. Here you’ll find a smaller, straight double slide that’s ideal for little legs, the open caravan play structure, sand tipping equipment, and a colour-coded sand play table with four stools – a lovely invitation for social play, scooping and pouring.

A dolphin rocker adds a bit of bouncy fun, and there’s also a baby-safe swing for the tiniest family members.

One of the standout features of Campground Adventure Park is the number of mature trees that have been retained. These provide plenty of natural shade across expansive grassed areas, making it a genuinely pleasant place to spend a few hours. Bring a picnic blanket and spread out under the trees while the kids roam between the hill slide, nets, swings and sand play. Smooth, winding pathways run through the park, making it easy for scooters, bikes and prams to navigate the space.

Facilities are currently quite basic, so it’s worth arriving prepared. There are no toilets, no water fountains and no BBQs on site, and only one bin. Parking is limited to street-side bays along the edges of the park, which can fill quickly at busy times. On the plus side, the simplicity of the set-up gives the park a relaxed, natural feel, and the focus is firmly on play and open space rather than built-up infrastructure.

Overall, Campground Adventure Park is a fantastic addition to the Capricorn Yanchep community and a great option if you’re in the far northern suburbs looking for somewhere a bit different to play. The combination of ocean views, retro caravan charm, adventurous hillside play and shady grassed areas makes it a lovely spot for families to explore, and we’re excited to see how future stages of the park will further develop this coastal Playground.
