Hervey Bay caravanners can find fantastic fishing, whale watching, and easy access to K’gari.
Hervey Bay is renowned as one of the world's best whale watching destinations, with hundreds of migrating whales making their presence known in its waters between July and November every year. But this coastal city—about a four-hour drive north of Brisbane and just over two hours north of Noosa—has so much more to offer, especially for caravan campers. It's one of the two access points for K'gari (formerly known as Fraser Island), meaning that you can access the island on a day trip without needing to hire a 4WD. (Keep an eye out for dingoes!) And with Hervey Bay's family-friendly amenities and excellent fishing, it's easy to find caravan parks that cater to couples, families, and groups. You'll find everything from unpowered sites on farmland to deluxe caravan parks suitable for a getaway at any time of year.
