1. Before making your camping permit booking, make sure you do your research.
- For general information about camping on Queensland’s parks and forests visit Camping.
- Use the ‘Find a park or forest’ tool to find information about specific parks and forests or refer to our brochures and guides.
- The 'Find a campground’ tool will give you detailed information on locations and available features for all our camping areas.
Note: there are 3 types of camping areas across Queensland’s parks and forests. Numbered, un-numbered and open camping areas.
- Numbered camping areas: pre-allocated sites, physically numbered and can be pre-booked.
- Un-numbered camping areas: defined sites that are not numbered. Specific sites and locations cannot be pre-booked and are chosen on first come basis.
- Open camping areas: large open area. Can setup camp anywhere within designated perimeter.
