An additional 500 camping spots were made available at Inskip Point in the Cooloola Recreation Area in time for the Easter holidays.
“Many of our more popular camping areas like Teewah Beach and Bribie Island were booked out for Easter, but there are still many other national parks and forests with camping sites still available,” Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said.
“Our campgrounds allow people to reconnect with nature and experience the beauty and tranquillity of Queensland’s unique environment.
“Many of our campgrounds are perfect for families, with picnic areas, barbecues, and shower and toilet facilities. Other campgrounds are great for fishing and water sports like canoeing and water skiing.
“Or you can take in the lush rainforest, diverse wildlife and bush tracks that lead people into the hills to breathtaking lookouts.
“With unspoilt beaches and sparkling blue oceans, or birdwatching and hiking, Queensland is synonymous with offering the very best holiday experience.”
Minister Scanlon said people taking holidays from central to far north Queensland were reminded to be Crocwise in croc country.
“And campers and visitors to K’gari for the Easter holidays are advised to respect the wongari (dingo) and never approach them or deliberately or inadvertently feed them,” Minister Scanlon said.
“People should also ensure they advise family or friends of their holiday plans, including a departure and return date.”
