The best safari tents 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.

Sunshine Coast, QLD · 127 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Noosa on the Sunshine Coast needs no introduction, with its world-famous sun, surf and sand. If you’re wanting to explore this slice of pandanus palm-fringed paradise, check-in to Ingenia Holidays Noosa, a short drive from bustling Hastings Street and just next door to the Tewantin National Park mountain-bike trails. You’ll want at least a few days to discover Noosa’s coastal charm, thriving food scene and diverse landscapes, so check-in to one of the cabins, villas, camp or caravan sites that deliver big holiday experiences for those with a smaller Noosa budget. When you’re not busy exploring what’s on offer within the park itself, you’ve got a large Noosa backyard to explore from the beach to the hinterland and national parks in between. With an action-packed kid’s program each school holidays, it’s no wonder this park is known to book out. Throughout the year, you’ll always find something happening at Ingenia Holidays Noosa with facilities that will eliminate the words “I’m bored” from the kids’ vernacular altogether with a pool, jumping cushion and games room to name just a few things on offer. With temperate weather all year round, soak up the outdoors and onsite facilities including BBQs and camp kitchens when you’re not exploring the Sunshine Coast’s favourite resort playground.
