Queensland’s waterside campsites offer over 6,600 options for pitching your tent beside rivers, lakes, or creeks. 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). Most sites allow campfires, welcome pets, and provide toilets. Spend your days fishing, spotting wallabies, or saddling up for a horse ride. If you want water, wildlife, and space to breathe, Queensland delivers.
