Information

A popular, large day-use area on Fraser Island with fenced camping area (to keep dingos out).
Some walks start from here and there is a nice boardwalk that follows the gentle flow of the crystal clear Wanggoolba Creek fringed with rainforest. Magnificent elkhorn ferns are a treat.

Adjacent to the campsite is an area once used as the base for logging operations on Fraser Island. Displays of 100 year old loggers lifestyles and equipment.

Has toilets and coin operated shower facilities.
