Pier Caravan Park

Official Partner

Ideally positioned alongside Hervey Bay's iconic Urangan Pier, Pier Caravan Park puts you at the heart of everything the Fraser Coast has to offer. Whether you're here to witness humpback whales play in Australia's Whale Watch Capital, explore K'gari (formerly Fraser Island), or simply soak up the sun on private beaches, this modern park makes the perfect base. Choose from over 80 powered and unpowered sites across a generous, well-maintained property — there's plenty of space for caravans, campervans and families alike, even when the Fraser Coast is at its busiest. Established in 2018, the park's facilities remain in excellent condition: you'll find spotless amenity blocks with toilets, showers and laundry facilities, a fully equipped camp kitchen, BBQ areas, a swimming pool, a games room and a dedicated drying area. Secure perimeter fencing and a gated entrance ensure a safe, relaxed environment for everyone. When you're ready to venture out, you won't need to travel far. The famous Urangan Pier is right next door — cast a line for barramundi, flathead, cod, trevally or mackerel, with fishing supplies available from a nearby tackle shop. A pet-friendly, crowd-free beach sits just south-east of the pier, perfect for a morning walk or a lazy afternoon with the family. Just across the road, the Pier Markets come alive on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, offering fresh local produce, artisan coffee and handmade gifts. The marina is a short stroll away, making it easy to join a whale watching cruise (July to October) or organise a trip across to K'gari. Staff at reception are happy to help with bookings for whale watching and K'gari tours, drawing on genuine local knowledge to point you toward the best experiences in the region. Cafes, restaurants, clubs and the shopping centre are all within easy walking distance — every convenience, without the hotel price tag. Pet-friendly grass camping sites are available for guests travelling with four-legged companions.
