Fraser Coast Beachfront Tourist Parks

Wake to the sound of waves and wander to the water in moments.

Beachfront caravan and camping across Hervey Bay's Pialba, Scarness and Torquay, with calm waters, easy beach access and practical amenities where noted.

Three beachfront parks sit along Hervey Bay's shoreline — at Pialba, Scarness and Torquay — each offering a different flavour of coastal camping within easy reach of the sand. Pialba places you directly on the beachfront, just a handful of steps from the waterline. At Torquay, the beach is right there without a road in sight between you and the sand, while Scarness sits beside sheltered bay waters with a gently sloping sandy foreshore — the kind of spot where kids can splash about without a worry.

Facilities vary across each park. Torquay is well set up with a camp kitchen and laundry on site, and the team there is known for being genuinely helpful — including lending a hand if you need assistance manoeuvring your van into position. Pialba welcomes caravanners, tent campers and backpackers alike. [6][4]

Which parks make up this beachfront group in Hervey Bay? Three parks in Hervey Bay's coastal suburbs offer beachfront camping: Pialba, Scarness and Torquay on Queensland's Fraser Coast. Each sits directly beside the bay, with beach access ranging from a few steps across the grass to a gently sheltered foreshore perfect for a morning paddle. [4][6][7]

How close is the beach from camp? Very close at every park. Pialba sits right on the beachfront with the water just a short stroll away. Torquay has a direct beachfront position — you won't need to navigate any roads to reach the sand. Scarness fronts sheltered bay waters with a sandy foreshore ideal for easy access at any time of day. [4][6][7]

What facilities can I expect on site? At Torquay, you'll find a camp kitchen and laundry on site, plus a helpful team known for going the extra mile — including assisting with van parking when needed. Facilities vary between parks; check individual park details before booking for the most current information. [6]

Is it family‑friendly and good for swimming? Scarness is well suited to families, with sheltered bay waters and a sandy foreshore that make for relaxed, gentle swimming conditions throughout the year. Always check local conditions before heading in, but the calm setting here is a genuine drawcard for families travelling with young children. [7]

Who can stay? Pialba welcomes a range of travellers — whether you're arriving with a caravan, pitching a tent or travelling light as a backpacker. Browse each park's details to find the best match for your travel style and setup. [4]
