Slow the pace on 75 acres of bushland just minutes from the K'gari ferry. **Boutique bush camping at River Heads with accessible facilities, unique stays and easy access to K'gari and Hervey Bay.** Fraser Coast RV Park spreads across 75 acres at River Heads, a short three-minute drive to the K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) ferry terminal, jetty and boat ramp, with Hervey Bay Airport roughly 10 minutes away. Suited to RVs, motorhomes, caravans and tents, it offers nine powered sites, abundant shaded unpowered sites, individual-use showers and toilets, and secure, gated access. Facilities are dog friendly and wheelchair friendly, including the Bush Kitchen and Wallaby Wash House with laundry. Mango Lodge is a cosy timber-slab cabin with wheelchair access, a king-size bed, a double roll‑in shower, and a deep open‑air claw‑foot bath beside a century-old mango tree.

Lace up your boots and wander more than four kilometres of marked trails winding through a 40‑acre bushland reserve dotted with natural billabongs and seasonal creeks. Watch for kangaroos, the Sacred Kingfisher and upwards of 60 bird species. After a day on the water, swap stories in the Fair Dinkum Bush Kitchen, which is well stocked with cooking appliances—gas cooktop and oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and all the essentials from toasters to a sandwich press, plus full crockery, cutlery and cookware. Why is this a great base for K'gari and Hervey Bay? Being just minutes from the K'gari ferry and boat ramp makes day trips effortless, while Hervey Bay's whale‑watching cruises and eateries are close at hand.
