Harbour View Caravan Park

Official Partner

Wake to birdsong beside the Hervey Bay marina and step straight into adventure. **Tucked into Urangan's marina precinct across five shaded acres, Harbour View Caravan Park is your gateway to K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) adventures, whale-watching season and some of the best boating on the Fraser Coast — with pet-friendly sites and a warm welcome next door at the Hervey Bay Boat Club.** Tall trees and resident birdlife give this park a naturally peaceful feel, even though you're right in the heart of the harbour hub. Because it sits closer to the marina than any other campground in the area, you're perfectly placed for early starts — whether that's joining a K'gari day tour departing from nearby, watching humpback whales on their annual migration in season, or launching your own vessel from the public boat ramps just a short walk away. The park caters to RVs, motorhomes, caravans and tents, and various discount options may apply depending on your travel style and timing [3][1][2]. Planning your itinerary is straightforward with an on-site tour desk stocked with brochures and local knowledge. A seasonal swimming pool and laundry facilities mean you can come back from a big day out and settle in properly [2]. Pet lovers can request one of the limited designated pet-friendly sites (maximum two per booking), and anglers will appreciate the quick stroll to the boat ramps [1][2]. In the evenings, the Hervey Bay Boat Club next door opens its doors to park guests seven days a week — think waterfront dining, deck views, cinema screens and more [1][2]. The office is open daily and bookings are recommended, especially during peak touring periods [1]. Browse and click through to the operator website to plan your stay.
