3 Reason to Invest
The Fraser Coast has firmly established itself as one of Queensland’s most consistent and resilient tourism regions, underpinned by domestic travel, lifestyle migration and global natural attractions. Anchored by proximity to K'gari (Fraser Island), the region continues to experience strong visitation year-round, supporting accommodation assets such as Fraser Coast RV Park
Combined with improving infrastructure, increasing interstate migration and a growing preference for caravan and RV travel, the Fraser Coast presents a compelling investment landscape for tourism-based assets with scale and future upside.
1 Gateway Location to a World-Class Destination
River Heads serves as the primary mainland access point to K'gari (Fraser Island), one of Australia’s most iconic tourism drawcards With barge access, boat ramps and direct connectivity to the island, the location attracts a consistent flow of domestic and international visitors This strategic positioning ensures ongoing demand from travellers seeking short-term accommodation before and after island visits, as well as those exploring the broader Fraser Coast region including Hervey Bay, widely recognised for whale watching and marine tourism For investors, this represents a fundamentally strong demand driver that is not easily replicated elsewhere.
2. Scale, Flexibility & Increasing Demand for RV Travel
Tourism trends across Australia continue to favour caravan, camping and RV travel, driven by affordability, flexibility and lifestyle appeal Fraser Coast RV Park is ideally positioned to benefit from this shift, offering a large-scale landholding with diverse accommodation options and the ability to cater to evolving traveller preferences Unlike traditional shortstay accommodation, RV parks provide flexibility in pricing, site configuration and expansion potential, allowing operators to adapt to market conditions and maximise returns The combination of significant land area and existing infrastructure provides a platform for future growth through site expansion, amenity upgrades or repositioning (STCA)
3. Strategic Landholding with Value-Add Potential
Large-scale tourism-zoned landholdings in coastal Queensland locations are increasingly tightly held, particularly those with proximity to major drawcards such as K'gari (Fraser Island) Fraser Coast RV Park offers not just an established operation, but a strategic land bank with multiple avenues for value creation Whether through operational improvements, expansion of accommodation offerings or enhancement of guest facilities, the asset provides clear pathways to increase revenue and overall asset value In a market where lifestyle assets and tourism investments continue to attract strong buyer interest, opportunities of this scale and positioning remain limited
Operation Overview
Fraser Coast RV Park is a well-established, owner-operated tourism asset that has been successfully run by the current owners for approximately 8 years. Over this time, the business has built a strong reputation within the travelling community, supported by repeat visitation, positive guest reviews and a consistent flow of bookings driven by its proximity to K'gari (Fraser Island) and the broader Fraser Coast tourism region.
The park operates on a simple and efficient business model, catering to short-term holidaymakers including caravan, RV and camping guests. The current owners have intentionally maintained a low-intensity, lifestyle-focused operation, presenting a significant opportunity for an incoming purchaser to further enhance performance.
Management & Staffing
The business is currently self-managed and owner-operated, with the owners overseeing all day-to-day operations, including guest check-ins, bookings and general site management. They are supported by one long-term casual staff member (5+ years) who works approximately 15 hours per week and is responsible for cleaning amenities (showers and toilets).
The simplicity of the operation highlights the low management intensity, with the potential for a new owner to either maintain the existing structure or implement a more hands-off or scaled management model
Accommodation Mix & Capacity
The park operates on a short-term accommodation model and offers a flexible accommodation mix catering to a broad range of travellers:
12 powered sites (power & water)
Extensive unpowered camping areas with capacity to accommodate a large volume of guests
Additional accommodation offerings including Mango Lodge (cabin-style accommodation), Gypsy Wagon and Bertha on-site Caravan
Operation Overview
Bookings & Pricing Structure
Bookings are primarily managed through the NewBook platform, which integrates directly with the park’s website and supports both direct and third-party reservations Current site and accommodation pricing includes:
Powered Sites: $54 per night
Unpowered Sites: $44 per night
Gypsy Wagon: $99 per night
Bertha Caravan: $99 per night
Mango Lodge: $224 per night
Operational Upside
Key opportunities for a new owner include:
Increasing occupancy through targeted marketing and channel optimisation
Expanding accommodation offerings (e g additional cabins or glamping)
Leveraging the substantial landholding to increase site yield (STCA)
Implementing dynamic pricing strategies aligned with peak tourism periods
Streamlining booking systems and reducing manual processes
The combination of a proven operating history, low management intensity and significant expansion potential provides a compelling platform for both passive and active investors

Gateway to K’gari (Fraser Island) A
Global Tourism Anchor
K’gari (Fraser Island) is a major economic driver for the Fraser Coast, contributing approximately $375 million annually in direct tourism value, while underpinning a broader regional tourism economy approaching $1 billion per annum.
Just minutes from the River Heads ferry terminal, Bengtson Road benefits from immediate proximity to K’gari (Fraser Island) one of the world’s most extraordinary natural landscapes and a UNESCO World Heritage-listed destination.

The island is home to over 100 freshwater lakes, including the iconic Lake McKenzie, as well as vast dune systems, coloured sands, and more than 120 kilometres of uninterrupted ocean beach.
K’gari is internationally recognised attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually Its natural assets have positioned it as a cornerstone of Queensland’s tourism economy.
Strategic Positioning of River Heads

This proximity places the property within a highly strategic location that benefits from:
Continuous visitor movement to and from the island
Strong demand from tourism operators and support services
Tour operators and accommodation providers
Ferry and logistics services
Long-term relevance anchored by a protected, globally recognised природal destination
