Come and visit us and enjoy everything the Fraser Coast has to offer. You will feel like you really are on holidays. Located at River Heads, a great getaway from it all, yet just a stones throw from K'gari (Fraser Island), Hervey Bay and Lady Elliot Island.

Mango Lodge is a totally wheelchair accessible timber cabin which has an outdoor bath. 24 hour security access to your own private campsite.

We also provide dog minding services! Photo updates supplied. Cost is $50 per day (add to your booking). All you need to do is supply your dog bed and food.

Close to the airport plenty of room to camp, nice and flat land. Midges so do come prepared for that. We arrived late in the evening and left very early in the morning. No toilet, no power and no water - be prepared for that too. No trouble contacting host was friendly to deal with.

Great amenities, nice camping spot with power and water hook up or camp off grid in a secluded spot away from everyone. Midgies are bad so come prepared. They fit through your flyscreens and will eat you alive if you're not covered up. All in all we had a great holiday.

We really loved waking up in the morning and seeing the kangaroos! The place had enough space, water and power as well. We felt welcome and even received help with a power supply adaptor. Recommended it, it close to main attractions and the public dump point.

We stayed at trip in a van corner and had a great nights sleep. We had plenty of space and it was very peaceful and could listen to the birds. We also saw kangaroos racing around the neighbouring property which was great. The amenities were SPOTLESS and crafted with care and attention. The whole property had heaps of personality and interesting features. We only stayed for a night as we were passing through but would definitely stay again if we are back in hervey bay.

Amazing, well kept property. Hosts were accommodating to your needs. Warned of the midgees and had a very good product on hand. Shower facilities are one of the best we have seen.

Great camping, the best hot showers and all amenities were clean and well looked after. Great location as its close to a great local Cafe (River Heads cafe and takeaway - 4min drive) and Hervey Bay just up the road. Mark, the caretaker met us on arrival and was very friendly and welcoming. Great spot all round.
