Swimming, climbing, and fishing are big draws here; locals love to cast a line at sunrise or scramble over rocky outcrops along the shoreline. The average stay comes in at $39 a night, but you’ll find options as low as $10 if you’re watching your wallet. Top picks include Take-A-Break Bush Camp (297 reviews), Forest Fields Campstay (255 reviews), and Rockhampton Waterski Club (228 reviews)—all tried, tested, and dog-friendly.
