Camping on Fraser Island

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service manages the island and maintains ranger bases at Dundubara and Eurong. You can pitch a tent anywhere you don't see a "no camping" sign; there are four main public campgrounds—Central Station, Dundubara, Lake Boomanjin, and Waddy Point—though all sites on the Island require you to book your permit in advance. These campgrounds have fenced sites to protect from dingoes (advised if you have kids under 14), toilet blocks, drinking water, hot showers (some coin-operated), gas grills, phones, and other amenities. There are also smaller designated camping areas along Fraser Island's Great Walk, and a number of established beach campsites, all run by The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. They have toilet blocks, picnic tables, and walking trails. Most lack drinking water, so bring plenty with you. Because the entire island is a World Heritage site, permits for camping (A$5.95 per person, per night) are required.
