Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Island…
No list of top Queensland camping spots would be complete without a mention of Whitehaven Beach. This is kind of universally considered one of the best beaches in Australia, and there is a smattering of national park campgrounds on offer around the island to kick back and enjoy over the summer. Whitehaven beach is truly secluded, with a capped capacity of 36 – so you’ll have to plan well ahead of time to nab yourself a spot at this coveted campground. Explore the surrounding islands, swim, surf and socialise at this incredible location.
Lady Musgrave Island, Bundaberg…
Speaking of secluded! Lady Musgrave Island is a quiet haven that’s covered in fascinating tropical wildlife, untouched terrain and glistening waters. This is a two hour boat journey from Bundaberg, so this spot is for the hardcore campers who are hunting for a new and exciting experience to challenge themselves with. There are approximately zero amenities on offer, so you’ll need to pack like a pro to ensure that you have everything you need for your exotic and rustic getaway.
Fraser Island, Fraser Coast…
Ahh, Fraser Island, a classic spot for camping in Queensland. Enjoy stretched out days exploring the amazing coastline, sparkling surf and engaging wildlife. There are an awful lot of sites on offer here, it is the largest sand island on earth, after all. For family friendly fun that will give you plenty to do on your stay, head to Dundubara, Waddy Point or Lake Boonmanjin. These are all pristine, protected and completely kid friendly. Surf, explore and camp your days away in these safe and sandy camping spots.
Noosa North Shore, Noosa…
Noosa North Shore is just a few steps away from the bustling centre of the iconic holiday spot, and yet you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon your own little version of paradise!
