Sounds like you are after
free camping? Very slack for
free camping in and around
Hervey Bay. (You need to be a local for any secret spots.) The closest
free camp is at the town of Tiaro, south from
Maryborough on the Bruce Highway, about 45 minutes to
Hervey Bay, via
Maryborough. Do not think you can have fires. When are you expecting to be in this area?
There are lots of caravan parks in
Hervey Bay, but not sure about dogs and I do not think you can have a fire.
There are two at a very nice coastal town just north of
Hervey Bay, Burrum Heads. The best location is the council park, but no dogs. The other, Hillcrest caravan Park, allows dogs, don't think you can have a personal fire. This is the link -

Fantastic location and only about 15 minutes drive to
Hervey Bay, and a lot quieter then the bay.
Burrum Heads
Council caravan park on the Burrum River, Burrum Heads.

Possibly a bit far... but
Inskip Point near
Rainbow Beach. You can have a fire and you can take your dog. Its on the water so you can also fish. A bit closer is Kauri Creek off the Tinnenbar road, off the Maryborough/
Tin Can Bay road. I thik a fire and dogs are ok at Kauri but
check with QPWLS first. Take
drinking water to both. Hope this is of some help.

places down by river 5 mins from Howard.Fairly new and nice people.Very quiet no train noise like at the Burrum river park in Howard.Worth a look for sure.Just came back from there and will be going again.
