For us, camping on Fraser Island is the best way to fully embrace island life, just like the locals, who flock to Fraser Island for a few days of fishing, exploring and beachside camping at every opportunity. At Drop Bear Adventures, we pride ourselves on offering the most authentic Fraser Island camping tours out there. Thanks to the amazing camping spots behind the foredunes on 75-Mile Beach, that means you get million-dollar views on a backpacker budget. If you stumble out of your tent early enough, you might get treated to a sunrise like this:[vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4382″ img_size=”847×400″]However, on Fraser Island authentic also means: basic! Camping is permitted in certain sections of the Great Sandy National Park, but there are no facilities \u2013 no running water, no electricity, no permanent structures whatsoever. Of course that doesn\u2019t mean you have to rough it when you join our camping tours. It takes a lot of preparation, but we can offer you all the comforts you need. Take a tour of our Fraser Island camp site, guided by our camp mascot Ted\u2026<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>We have a basic camping toilet, which is mainly used at night and in the mornings. While we are out and about during the day, there are several opportunities to use \u201cproper\u201d toilets \u2013 one of them even flushes!

\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t say we don\u2019t spoil you! If you\u2019re feeling a bit grubby, we can fire up the heated power shower and you\u2019ll be good as new in no time. As we swim in fresh water several times each day, you might not even feel the need for a shower, though.
