Camping Queensland-style

Camping, a camper trailer, an RV, or caravanning provides a welcome break from the hustle and an opportunity to reconnect with nature. Whether you’re planning a secluded beach Queensland camping escape, treating your loved ones to a glamping getaway or taking the crew to a family-friendly campsite or to one of the many caravan parks in Queensland, the state caters to every kind of explorer.

There are over 165 national park campgrounds to choose from, including established campsites with basic amenities to self-sufficient camping zones in some of the most sought-after locations. Set your sights on a family-friendly caravan park, eco-friendly resort or beachside camping off-grid. You could even adventure offshore. If you do venture off the beaten track, remember to take everything you need with you, and leave nothing behind.

Thinking of taking your furry friend on your next camping adventure? Well, you’re in luck. There are pet-friendly camping spots across Queensland where pets and owners alike will relish the fresh air and open spaces. While dogs must stay on-leash at all times, you’ll find ample spots for adventuring beachside, lakeside or countryside with the whole family. 

From the ocean to the Outback, soak in the serenity and enjoy an abundance of natural wonders, savouring our vast landscapes, expansive coastline or regional bliss. When dusk approaches, kick back around the roaring campfire and gaze at the Milky Way – and don’t forget to pack the marshmallows.
