The best dog-friendly camping in Fraser Island

·

Fraser Island lets you camp with your pet across over 590 options, ranging from riverside clearings to bush blocks with access to freshwater lakes. Expect prices averaging around $28 a night, with some sites as low as $5. Dogs are welcome at most camps, and you'll find plenty of spots where campfires are allowed and showers are on hand. Local favourites like Peaceful Riverside Camping (817 reviews), River Run Farm Camping (674 reviews), and Blue Gums River Retreat (337 reviews) get high marks for their roomy sites and laid-back vibe. You’ll spot goannas, hear kookaburras at dawn, and swim in creeks right by your tent. Trails criss-cross the island, perfect for hiking with your dog. Rubbish bins are common, but pack out what you can. Local advice: tides shape access, so check ferry times and sand track conditions before you head off.

Maryborough, QLD · 5 sites
Our property is situated on the banks of the great sandy strait just 400m from the Tuan Boat ramp with access to Fraser Island by boat or kayak. We are surrounded by Tuan State Forest and wetlands. There is a medium sized dam on the property for swimming.The Tuan Forshore has a park, BBQ area and picnic tables as well as garbage disposal. There is plenty of space in the surrounding forests for mountain biking, motor-biking and walking. 3km down the road in Boonooroo you will find a large park with tennis court and public BBQ's. The bowls club and Golf Club just 3km away and serve meals on weekends. This site is suitable for caravans, RV's, camper trailers. There is NO toilet facility on the property. We are VERY dog friendly and can be off lead as long as the dogs are friendly towards people and other dogs and don't bite our horses. We also have other peoples horses agisting in paddocks. Activities you can do include boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, crabbing, walking, stand up paddle boarding, bird watching, kangaroo spotting, playing in the parks, beach tennis, mountain biking, hiking etc. Camp sites are far from the main house and other sites so you can have camp fires and play music, use generators without worry. Campers will need to be self contained (rubbish and toilets) and please leave your campsite the way you found it. Don't leave toilet paper or rubbish in fire pits please. Enter / Exit the main gate by pushing the code into the key pad. Gate closes after 20 seconds once it is fully open so be quick. NOTE: ***During Summer- November, December, January and February there are midgees (sandflies) at dusk and dawn and we do recommend midgee screening or spraying the mesh on your caravan windows as the standard mozzie mesh will not keep them out. Bring coils, a fan as they hate any breeze, bug spray and long sleeved pants and tops to wear in the evenings from about 5pm-7pm!*** *4X4's are recommended if you don't stay along the fence line as it can get muddy if there has been lots of rain. If you stay along the fence line you will be fine as the roads are compact and hard and the camp sites along this fence are higher up, they are marked with Fire Pits so camp here if you want to stay dry and get a good breeze.*
