Scarness Beachfront Tourist Park

Wake up to the sound of the ocean at Scarness Beachfront Tourist Park, one of Hervey Bay's most enviably positioned camping destinations. Sitting right on the Scarness foreshore, this fully upgraded park places you within steps of the beach along the Hervey Bay Esplanade — calm, pristine waters just moments from your site. The park has undergone a comprehensive redevelopment, with Stage 1 and Stage 2 now complete. The upgrade has delivered refreshed internal roadways, more spacious and consistent van sites, modernised underground services including power, water, and sewer connections, two new unisex amenities blocks, a laundry, a camp kitchen, a BBQ area, and a combined manager's office and residence. Whether you're pulling in with a caravan, campervan, or tent, you'll find a site to suit. **Powered beachfront sites** put you right on the water's edge, most featuring a concrete annexe pad so you can set up comfortably with the soothing sounds of the ocean as your backdrop. Grassy powered sites offer easy beach access for those who prefer a softer underfoot feel, while tent sites with camp kitchen and free BBQ access make for a relaxed, social stay. The waters here are famously gentle — ideal for families with young children who want to swim and play safely year-round. Water enthusiasts will find easy access to sailing, water skiing, snorkelling, and swimming straight from the park's edge. Just across the street, you'll find shops, hotels, cafés, and restaurants to round out your days. Hervey Bay is Australia's Whale Watch Capital, and Scarness is part of this celebrated coastal city. From around July to October, humpback whales are known to visit the bay during their annual migration, and whale watching tours operate locally — making this park a convenient base for one of Australia's most extraordinary wildlife encounters.
