Description

Set up camp nestled behind the foredunes at the mouth of creek and on the western beach of Fraser Island. Camping is unpowered in an open area with no defined sites. Toilets and picnic tables are available. Camping permits are required and fees apply. Display the tag with your booking number at your camp site. This spot is particularly favoured by anglersfreshwater from the creek meets the salty ocean which is a great environment for fish. Launch small boats and kayaks from the beach and explore the Great Sandy Marine Park. Behind the mangroves is a tiny sand beach and another spot to fish or launch a kayak. The camping area is alive with birdlife. Search the sky for whistling and brahminy kites and in the forests for honeyeaters, woodswallows, doves and finches. During winter you might be lucky enough to spot migrating humpback whales off the beach. Pets are not permitted. Midgies were bad through the night in September.
