Best Campsites and Camp Grounds In Queensland
Queensland, the sunshine state, is Australia's tropical capital. Being the second largest state in Australia, it is home to the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, ancient rainforests, and some of Australia's whitest sands. Although Queensland has many large towns and cities such as Brisbane, Cairns, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Townsville, most of the sunshine state is still regional and boasts some beautiful remote locations. Why visit Queensland? Because of its beautiful scenery, excellent surfing coastline, vibrant art scene, scuba diving, whale watching and great camping facilities.
