Default Gold Coast for kids

Can anyone make any suggestions for a September school holiday break on the gold coast for 3 fearless boys aged 3,6,8 years and their minders!

Probably looking at camping (any good sites?)
and a theme park or two (which is good for these ages?)
and then some cheaper days out to round off a week.

There's a campsite on Reserve Road in Upper Coomera. I pass it every day, but to be honest don't know if it's any good.

What I do know is you could drive to Dreamworld, Movie World, or Wet & Wild in 5 mins or less! Seaworld would be 30 mins tops!

We haven't been there camping so can't help with this, but just wanted to say that the Currumbin Sanctuary is great for a day out, they also do twilight tours as well which are fun. http://www.currumbin-sanctuary.org.au

A great fun day out and if you go on www.whypayfullprice.com.au you can print vouchers for adults at kids prices for it too! C x

Treasure Island near Harbour Town has campsites, but still provides all the creature comforts (ie ablution blocks)
