The best waterside campgrounds in Queensland

You’ll find places where dawn mists rise off the water, platypus duck under the bank, and pelicans drift past your fire. Expect average nightly rates around $28, with some spots from just $5. Campers return again and again to favourites like Hold It Flats (3541 reviews), Lakeview (1348 reviews), and Bushywood at Woodfordskilake (1324 reviews).
