The best great views camping in Queensland

·

It’s easy to find a camping spot to suit any interest in a state as large as Queensland. With 7,000 km of Pacific Ocean coastline and a richly diverse interior of everything from ancient rainforests to arid outback landscapes, you'll find plenty of options. Choose from some 1,000 national parks, forests and other protected areas, and a host of other camping sites. From the golden beaches and green hinterland of the Gold Coast in the south to the rugged loneliness of Cape York to the north, and the extraordinary Great Barrier Reef offshore, campers are spoiled for choice.

With the state capital Brisbane as your starting point, head to Queensland’s first National Park, Lamington National Park (established in 1915), for cooler climes and ancient Gondwana rainforests. The south-east’s subtropical climate means lots of sunshine, perfect for any camping trip.Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, with island and mainland camping to suit all, with a choice of 19 National Parks. Don flippers and snorkel and hit the water, explore the 165-million-year-old Daintree Rainforest, or head inland to the wonders of Undara Volcanic National Park to camp near ancient lava tubes.Living up to its name, the Sunshine Coast basks in its many natural attractions, from 100km of beaches to forested hinterland. Spot koalas in Noosa National Park, take a kayak up-river to camp in the Noosa Everglades, or head north along the beach in the Great Sandy National Park. The volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains National Park offer hikers and climbers a challenge.From Airlie Beach, take off for the green islands of Whitsunday Islands National Park or stick to the coast, exploring Conway National Park, where you may be joined by rock wallabies. Despite its holiday atmosphere, it’s easy to get away from it all. The best islands for hiking and camping are Whitsunday Island and Hook Island.Straddling the Tropic of Capricorn, this somewhat under-rated region has much to offer. Visit in summer for turtle nesting and hatching at Mon Repos Conservation Park, or head offshore to Lady Elliot Island. The main towns are Bundaberg and Gladstone, but it’s worth checking out the coastal villages of Agnes Water and 1770 or heading inland to explore the trails and gorges of the spectacular Carnarvon National Park.

Atkinsons Dam, QLD · 65 sites · Tents, RVs
Nature is calling. Set on 25 acres of natural bushland on the shores of Atkinsons Dam, our caravan park offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventure, relaxed and surrounding yourself with nature. Nestled beside a picturesque dam and surrounded by native trees, the property provides a peaceful escape where fresh air, open space, and the beauty of the bush are part of your stay. Guests can spend their days on the water—canoeing across the dam, casting a line in search of the next catch, or enjoying a variety of water sports right at their doorstep(we have our own private boat ramp). For those who prefer to stay on land, the expansive grounds offer plenty of space to explore, unwind, soak in the tranquil surroundings and if your lucky see a Koala in the wild. As the sun dips below the horizon, the atmosphere shifts to something truly special. Outdoor fires flicker to life, creating a warm and welcoming environment where stories are shared, meals are cooked under the stars, and the simple joy of being outdoors takes centre stage. Adding to the experience is the on-site café, a convenient and inviting hub where guests can grab a coffee, enjoy a relaxed meal, and connect with others. It’s the perfect complement to days spent exploring and evenings spent by the fire. This is more than just a caravan park—it’s a place where nature, adventure, and comfort come together, offering a genuine escape filled with fresh air, open skies, and unforgettable moments.
