Mount Isa police sergeant Whitney Lacy said although break-ins had been low, it was important to always lock your doors.
"Whilst there have been only six reported property related offences in our caravan parks within the past two months, five of these offences could have been prevented, had the vehicles/caravans involved been locked and secured," Sgt Lacy said.
Sgt Lacy said to not let your holiday brain ruin your time away.
"Just ensure that your relaxed and carefree holiday mood doesn't affect your ability to maintain appropriate security measures, as caravan parks can also serve as ideal locations for opportunistic offenders," she said.
"Remember, it is your responsibility to keep yourself and your personal belongings safe and secure."
