15km from Pialba · 36 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · River Heads, QLD
Hervey Bay is known as the whale watching capital of the world and is just 15 minutes from Fraser Coast RV Park. Hervey Bay has a sheltered location, and as such is the best place on Australia’s east coast to meet the majestic humpback whales with plenty of good tour operators. We have suitable offerings for all types of RV’s, campers, roof top tents, camper trailers, caravans, tents, swags and motorhomes. Come and visit us and enjoy everything the Fraser Coast has to offer. You will feel like you really are on holidays. Located at River Heads, a great getaway from it all, yet just a stones throw from K'gari (Fraser Island), Hervey Bay and Lady Elliot Island. We are dog friendly and also wheelchair accessible in the Bush Kitchen and Wallaby Wash House. Bertha the Retro van and Gertrude the Gypsy Wagon are not wheelchair accessible. Mango Lodge is a totally wheelchair accessible timber cabin which has an outdoor bath. 24 hour security access to your own private campsite. Free wifi, hot showers, flushing toilets, fully equipped bush kitchen and laundry. We have a designated area for dog lovers called Dogs Corner. There is a lovely paddock for the dogs to take in the country atmosphere and located right next to the 40 acre nature reserve with 4kms of walking trails, what better way to Escape, Relax and Unwind. 69 species of birds have been identified on the property to date. We also provide dog minding services! Photo updates supplied. Cost is $50 per day (add to your booking). All you need to do is supply your dog bed and food. Recently our guests enjoyed a trip to Fraser Island and were very impressed with the service provided. So if you love your fur baby and you still want to have a holiday experience, just come and stay here and we can enhance your stay by giving your fur babies a holiday too. You may be moved to a different site if your chosen site is too wet. We use Good Riddance products for the midges & mozzies during summer because it works, its non toxic + deet free. We have dry firewood (hardwood) available on the verandah for $15/15kg crate. If the site you have chosen is unsuitable, please let us know & we will allocate you a different site. There are plenty of sites to choose from.

Great location and only a short drive to the beach. The camp itself is pretty simple but it’s what we expected when we booked. I would say to avoid this site if you have a low clearance 2WD as we struggled a little bit to get out with our campervan. Overall we would stay again purely for the location 😊

Great location, walking distance to Mon Repo Turtle centre and a healthy walk to Burnett Heads. Great advice from Karen for places to eat. The Windmill & Kelly's by the Sea both fab. Lovely large grased area right on the ocean. Peaceful close to Bundaberg too. We will definitely stay again. Thanks Karen

Our family loved our four nights at this campsite. We were on site 1 and were on our own for the duration of our stay. The location is amazing; literally a 30m walk to the public footpath, and a few metres further to the ocean. There's a great sandy beach around 100m walk away, which is perfect for a high tide swim. The site itself is grassy and totally open, which is great for solar and gave the kids somewhere to safely run around. Karen was very friendly and greeted us on the afternoon we arrived, explaining some of the local attractions. We would definitely stay again when we are next in the area.

We loved our stay at Mon Repo Pines. The property is very well kept and directions there were easy to follow. We felt very comfortable there and safe to leave the van to go site seeing. It is right across from the beach and the bike/walking track. To be able to take a beautiful ride from our campsite to Burnett Heads town one way and Bargara the other was the highlight for us. Many thanks to the hosts, we’ll be back for sure!

We loved our stay here, in site 1 - closest to the beach. The trees along the south fence line provided an awesome wind break for the one windy day we had during our stay. So quiet at night, often visited by kangaroos in the evening. Karen popped by once to say hello and left us to ourselves for the remainder. The bicycle and footpath north and south along the coast provides easy access to Mon Repos Turtle Centre and the Bundaberg Marina, we loved taking the escooters along there. Highly recommend, we would stay here again for sure, next time during turtle laying season!

Karen’s land is flat and the grass is kept nicely mowed. There are only 4 sites so there is plenty of space for each campsite. This Hipcamp borders the Mon Repos coastal walking & cycle track within 15 minutes walking to the Mon Repos Turtle Centre & cafe. Karen was a great host who provided some ideas for what was available in the area. This place is a hidden gem and I highly recommend it.
