highly recommend the fish and chips at Saviges Seafood - Bongaree - the snapper was massive and very nice indeed

Cotton Tree Holiday Park on the north facing beach
- great for young families and grey nomads
- 93 powered and 29 non powered sites, sites are small and your neighbour will be close but at least there is a part for tents
Ingenia Holidays Rivershore, Maroochy River
- glamping plus camping options
Mooloolaba Holiday Park
- small CARAVAN site next to nice beach and shops - vans are crammed close together although usually able to set up an awning, and not really for tent camping - likely to be booked out

Noosa North Shore Holiday Park, Noosa
- great for families, grey nomads and fishing
- 40 powered sites and 45 unpowered sites; coin operated showers;

4WD access only?
Inskip Peninsula Recreation Area
- there are a few campsites that are accessible for 2WD eg SS Dorrigo and MV Sarawak
- others require 4WD eg. Natone and MV Beagle
- compost toilets, no water;
- option of both an unpatrolled surf beach or the more sheltered Pelican Bay, although sharks are common as for Fraser Island
Teewah beach, Cooloola
- secluded but need 4WD and there are no amenities
Log Dump Camp, Tuan Forest
- short drive from the barge for K’gari, lovely spot esp. if you have a kayak; toilets, no water;

see map
no mobile phone service
4WD access only unless you walk in a group
north of Indian Head the crowds get thinner
the trade-off for a more central position is access to the trifecta of Fraser Island attractions. You’re near Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek and the Maheno Wreck along with access to the Eurong Bakery in case you need to top up any bread, milk or bait supplies.

Neurum Creek Bush Retreat
- is near the D’Aguilar National Park, Lake Somerset, and Stanley River
Peach Trees Campground
- part of the Jimna State Forest, located about 50kms north of Kilcoy
Charlie Moreland Campgrounds
- hour east of Peaches Campgrounds and 20 minutes from the town of Kenilworth
Booloumba Creek Camping
- in the Conondale National Park, 20min from Charlie Moreland Campgrounds
- 4WD only and sites are 20m from vehicles; dense subtropical rainforest with waterfalls and gorgeous turquoise rock pools. Lots of sites; Booloumba Falls Walk which is a 3km circuit
Bluff Creek Campgrounds, Kenilworth
- 100 acre camp site; water-frontage on a creek and direct access to the Mary River; hot showers!
Cedar Grove Campground
- Amamoor State Forest
