Best places: Campgrounds in St Helens, Australia

Low-key getaway featuring beach-view cottages with kitchens and decks, plus a cafe with a terrace.

Relaxed lodge with modest cabins, as well as 2 outdoor pools & a lagoon featuring wildlife.

👍 Loved our 3 night stay. Sunset and sunrise were amazing and we loved walking out in the mud flats. Staff were nice and did a great job of keeping this old park clean n tidy. Just a shame that due to council regulations you can’t ride a push bike or use a geni. We had e-bikes so easy to ride from par...

Functional rooms & cabins in a basic motel offering an outdoor pool & a BBQ area.

😠 I had the unfortunate experience of being refused being able to retrieve our yacht from the Mary river marina. Brett the owner had contacted us numerous times to attend to our yacht after 12 meters of flooding. We were lucky she was still afloat with damage. However we were let in on arrival then re...

👍👍 Just spent a lovely 10 days here. The owners and caretakers are very welcoming. Lovely and quiet. You must be completely self contained. There is power and water and there are some composting toilets available throughout the park. Free fire pit and wood is also available. I have traveled around Aust...

👍👍 Excellent bush camping in a relaxed atmosphere. Matt is a very friendly and helpful host. Hire a firedrum for $5 and unlimited wood. Toilets, water taps and showers scattered throughout the camp, and a nice camp kitchen overlooking the dam. Highly recommended.

😠 Lenthals is a beautiful place, but price increase has made it ridiculous for families. One nights camping is 12.50 per person, including children. My family of six payed $75 for one night stay. I guess this would be reasonable if the facilites matched the pricing, however they do not. Showers are co...

👍👍 We stayed two nights at Hervey Bay Caravan Park. The park is super neat and tidy, we were so impressed by how clean the amenities block is, plenty of toilets showers washing machines and clothes lines. The managers have been super friendly and very knowledgeable about things to do around town. Its a...

👍👍 One of our favorite campgrounds in the area, it can be a bit of a treacherous drive in, but despite many warnings we had no issues making it in our Audi Q5 SUV. If you're worried, air down your tires, lock your diffs or put it into Offroad mode, and keep your speed. When in doubt, gas it out!!! Q...

👍👍 An excellent stay! The hosts are lovely, the park is dog friendly and has private river access. We stayed in the unpowered section and the facilities were amazing! We had initially booked a powered site but decided to stay in the unpowered section and the hosts even offered a refund. Very kind. The...

👍 Travelling north from the Sunshine Coast, we were looking for an overnighter but something quieter than one of the free camps next to the Bruce Hwy. With a bit of looking we found this great little camp in the Wongi State Forest near Maryborough. It’s a wide open site and we were one of three camps...

👍👍 Harbour View CP was a great spot to base ourselves for a week. Yes the park is run down and things aren’t shiny and new but… the sites were easy to get in to, plenty of room, literally a multitude of eateries at your door with the marina adjacent plus all your whale watch tour experiences as well. I...

👍 POSITIVE - Georgeus place, beautiful views and sunset. -place of calm, warm and safe waters for children. - You can use your boat, jet ski and boards (not for surfing) and fishing! - you can make bonfires - totally pet friendly - You can explore the shore you will find crabs of different sizes, colo...

🫤 Nice spot. We paid an extra $2 per night for hot showers and out of a 7 night stay had a hot shower on 2 nights, the remaining 5 nights the shower was cold. No explanation from the owner despite being notified by other campers about the cold shower. Nothing to say there was an issue when booking onl...

😐 I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed by log dump camp as the listing on the Parks website suggests facilities which either are simply non-existent or not adequately explained. The available camping area is about the size of an average suburban lot parallel to the bay. Whilst the Parks webs...
