0.6km from River Heads · 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.

75km from River Heads · 44 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Gunalda, QLD
TerraLyra is situated on 55 acres of beautiful Fraser Coast Hinterland, surrounded by natural forests and land formations, and blessed with abundant wildlife. We offer 8 powered sites and 20 camp sites. Take a walk through the young forest up to the ridge amongst more mature gums and other native trees. Enjoy the Paperbark gum and Balga plant areas and find the hidden baby nature dam where you will be mesmerized by its beauty and serenity. We have been told that it is a great place for contemplation and meditation. Our large dam is home to fish and many native ducks, herons, swamp hens, cormorants, and more. Bird song trills through the forest daily, with flocks of wild parrots in the high trees. Occasionally, goannas and dragon lizards can be seen sunning themselves, and later in the day, wallabies and kangaroos can be seen making their move. Look out for the native brown and green frogs. Bring your kayak and paddle and swim in the large dam. There are great bike trails in the nearby Glenwood forest areas. We offer camping with a difference, providing a special place of rest and restoration with other optional extras, such as healings and readings onsite, alongside other activities like sky watch and fire ceremonies.

79km from River Heads · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Goomboorian, QLD
Augie is one of our resident Koalas. He was released onto our property from Australia Zoo Hospital in 2023, just the same year we arrived here. Our little paradise features 30 acres, of which 20 belong to Augie and his friends as prime Koala habitat. On the remaining acres we enjoy having a stunning little lake, just creating that zen feeling. Camping spots all have stunning views of the lake which invites you to take a stroll around following an easy walking track. Maybe you can spot Augie or be delighted by the beautiful local birds that share our space. Our Kangaroo family usually grazes until sunrise just on the open grass area near the camp spots. This space is perfect for kicking a ball and if you are interested in hearing and learning about Permaculture and/or Conservation, be sure to chat to your host Tanja. Children under 12 stay free. Please continue to add them to your booking (you won't be charged), so we can keep track of numbers. A delicious breaky can be enjoyed at the nearby Cooloola Strawberry farm (2 min by car) or maybe try a subtropical dinner at Sublime (5 min by car) a quirky QLD pub. Destinations to explore close by include Fraser Island, Tin Can Bay, and Rainbow Beach (between 35 and 45 min drive, 50 min to the Fraser Island Ferry), Lake Poona (30 min) nature trail, or visit Ponoma market (40 min) and Gympie’s cafes and shops (15 min) just around the corner.

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 😊

My man and I loved tent camping along the water. The sunset views and starry nights were to die for. So peaceful and the ladies who run the stay were absolutely wonderful. While packing up my car wouldn't start so they came down and fixed my car. Dogs were so cute and my puppy had an amazing time swimming in the dam. As a young couple with a dog, this place was perfect.

We stayed over the October weekend & while it was very busy, we still felt like we had enough space on our site. The amenities were cleaned regularly & we really enjoyed that warm shower! Hosts were wonderful, we felt very welcomed :-). It was a bit of a hike up to the toilet/shower but on wonderful property! Would see us coming back to try it out when it’s not the long weekend off for everyone to get a bit more of the healing 🌞

Beautiful and peaceful property. It was one of the busiest times of the year but they kept the number of people low. Heather and Co. were always up for a chat over the coffee machine in the morning. It's only a few kms off the hiway but we couldn't hear any traffic. A dip in the dam is a nice refreshing way to start the day. If you want peace and quiet, this is the perfect spot for you.

I loved camping near the beautiful vibrant dam waking up to the plethora of birdsong. Divine. It looks spring fed. The camp kitchen is very useful with fridge, stove and kettle. TerraLyra is a very special space and Heather Is friendly and fun. Recommended if you are looking for basic camping with a little convenience.

Toilet, shower and camp kitchen were perfectly clean and functional. We had a lovely walk around the land in the morning and wished we’d stayed longer - it is so peaceful and surrounded by nature (wallabies, birdlife etc). Would definitely recommend this spot!

Great spot...very spacious and loved the lakeside camping with access to kayaks. Very peaceful. Facilities- kitchen, hot shower, toilet - are super clean. Lots of nice walks around the property. Host, Heather, is very friendly and provided good instructions. Will be back.
