Fraser Coast RV Park

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. For something different, try Gertrude the Gypsy Wagon (air‑conditioned, double bed) or Bertha the Aussie Van, complete with authentic Australian outhouses.

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. Return to spacious campsites, a hot shower and a campfire under the stars.

What are the stay options? Choose from powered or unpowered sites for RVs, caravans, motorhomes and tents. Prefer a unique stay? Mango Lodge offers a timber‑cabin escape, while Gertrude the Gypsy Wagon and Bertha the Aussie Van deliver a fun, truly Australian experience.

Is it accessible and pet friendly? Yes. The park is wheelchair friendly, with accessible amenities in the Bush Kitchen and Wallaby Wash House. Mango Lodge includes a double roll‑in shower and recessed vanity. Dogs are welcome, and the Wallaby Wash House includes a laundry for longer stays.

What will I find in the Bush Kitchen and amenities? The Fair Dinkum Bush Kitchen is fully equipped for camp-kitchen cooking—think gas cooktop and oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, toasters, kettle, sandwich press and a complete set of crockery, cutlery and cookware. Amenities include individual‑use showers and toilets, plus the Tank Block with four showers and four toilets.

What nature and wildlife can I see on-site? More than four kilometres of marked trails wind through a 40‑acre bushland reserve, passing natural billabongs and seasonal creeks. Kangaroos are regular visitors and upwards of 69 bird species have been identified on the property, including the Sacred Kingfisher—binoculars are well worth packing.

How do bookings and access work? Bookings are essential. The boutique campground offers secure, gated access and allocates each booking its own dedicated site, giving guests plenty of privacy and room to spread out. Arrive, settle in, and then explore K'gari, go fishing from the nearby ramp or join a whale‑watching cruise in season.
