Welcome To

Traveller’s Rest 1770 Eco Camping

Description

Hidden in the heart of Queensland’s Discovery Coast, Traveller’s Rest 1770 is a rare find for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts alike—a peaceful, Ecotourism Certified and Savannah Guide Enterprise campground just minutes from Agnes Water and the Southern Great Barrier Reef.

Family-run and surrounded by 44 acres of native bushland, this spacious retreat offers powered and unpowered sites where guests can unwind by the crackle of a campfire (yes, fires are allowed—firewood available on-site!) and wake to the songs of kookaburras, friarbirds, and fairy-wrens.

Meandering bushwalks lead through eucalypt forest and tropical groves, while the wheelchair-friendly boardwalk lets everyone experience the magic. In the evening, gather for interactive slideshow nights where local stories and wildlife knowledge come alive.

The on-site BushTracks Eco Tours, led by accredited Savannah Guide Mike, offers immersive bush tucker walks and cultural insights that turn a stroll into an unforgettable learning experience.

Praised in Google Reviews for its serenity, warmth, and authenticity, Traveller’s Rest 1770 isn’t just a place to camp—it’s where kids rediscover wonder, couples reconnect over starlit skies, and solo travelers find unexpected peace.

Queensland’s best-kept secret isn’t on the coast—it’s just beyond it, waiting beneath the gum trees.
