1 night at Ingenia Holidays Hervey Bay

Fabulous! I only had a night there but could stay for weeks Everything you could possibly need was there and it was so so spacious. I thought it was good value as well because you have quite a large outdoor area to hang Great shower Nice price toilet of your own I’ve been recommending to friends Book it You won’t be sorry

3 nights at Synergy Beachside Nudist Retreat

Had a great spot to setup camp with all the amenities close by. The outdoor shower which is gas heated worked extremely well and had a great view of the garden. We spent a lot of time in the spa which worked well and was always hot and ready to go.

Weekend Trip to Synergy Beachside Nudist Retreat

By far one of the best places I’ve stayed in. It’s a different experience where we felt comfortable and safe at all times, considering this was our fist time. The house is huge plenty of facilities, close to the beach, and really well maintained. Rog is so kind, respectful, friendly and made us feel home. For girls, travelling alone or with company, it’s definitely a good option to stay the night. My partner is thinking about going back with her friends to enjoy this experience. Thanks Rog for everything and we’ll be back one day.

3 nights at Fraser Coast RV Park at River Heads

We loved our night at Bertha, very clean and comfortable. The place is very quite and good to relax.

7 nights at Beach Shed

Great location and only a short walk to the beach. Everything provided no need to pack extras as all linen, body wash, shampoo and even dog shampoo, all detergents washing powder bin liners are all provided including a dishwasher and a gas bbq with gas bottles. Pizza oven was a great addition. Would highly recommend

4 nights at Baffle Creek Boat Hire and Accom

Beautiful little cabin, with everything you need. Loved the privacy, location, the wildlife and abundance of firewood. Thanks for having us, we loved our stay and will be back.

5 nights at Beach Shed

We had the best family holiday at the Beach Shed! Sarah and Grant have thought of everything here! It was so nice and private, amazing beach access, close to the boat ramp and set up perfectly for our large family! (The big outdoor table, bbq and festoon lights with the outdoor TV was our favourite space to hangout and play games and eat all the mud crabs we caught!) We did have a bit of a heatwave during our stay so we didn’t try out the pizza oven unfortunately, but we’ll be back for sure! Thanks Sarah and Grant for sharing your place! It’s pretty special!

Glamping near Bargara guide

Overview

With its golden beaches, cool ocean breezes, and offshore reefs, a Bargara beach holiday affords plenty of outdoor adventures. Head to Kellys Beach to swim, surf, or stand-up paddleboard; watch loggerhead turtles hatching along the beach at Mon Repos Turtle Centre; or tee off at the coastal golf course, then stop at a café along The Esplanade to take in the views. Campers can take their pick of beachside accommodation. Check in to a family-friendly holiday park with powered sites for motorhomes and caravans, seek out a tranquil riverside campground, or get back to nature at a rural Hipcamp.

Where to go

Bundaberg Region

Just a 15-minute drive inland, Bundaberg is home to the famous Bundaberg Rum Distillery and Bundaberg Ginger Beer factory. After sampling the local beverages, enjoy canoeing or fishing along the Burnett River, go birdwatching around the wetlands of Bingera National Park, or explore the bushwalking trails of Elliott River State Forest.

Fraser Coast

South of Bargara, sandy beaches, fishing villages, and national parks tempt travellers to the Fraser Coast. Fraser Island is the star attraction, and there’s great beach camping in the Great Sandy National Park, but you can also set out along the Great Beach Drive (4WD only) from Rainbow Beach or take a whale-watching cruise from Hervey Bay.

Great Barrier Reef

Bargara is the gateway to the southern Great Barrier Reef, where you can snorkel and scuba dive around the islands and coral reefs. Fly out to Lady Elliott Island to snorkel amid manta rays, go whale-watching, or take a glass-bottom boat cruise. Or, for a bush camping experience, cruise to Lady Musgrave Island and pitch your tent at Capricornia Cays National Park.

When to go

The sun is always shining in southeast Queensland, so beach days are enjoyable year-round. Time your visit for November through March to watch loggerhead turtles nesting and hatching along Bargara’s beaches or from August through October to spot whales around Lady Elliot Island. Great Barrier Reef tours are possible year-round, but May to October is peak season.
