Questions about camping near Noosa
Are any places near Noosa recorded as free?
0 of the 39 places within 25 km are recorded as free and 6 as paid. The other 33 do not say. Recorded as free is what a list says, not a promise that camping is allowed there. Free camping in Queensland: the official rules.

What “unverified suggestion” means
Most places here come from OpenStreetMap, a free map anyone can edit. Someone added the place there, and Trek Eleven has not visited it. It may be closed, private, full or in a different spot. If you find an error, fix it in OpenStreetMap so everyone gains.
About the government lists
A ring on the map is a place from a state government list: a rest area, or a State Forest recreation site. We show each list as supplied, with the month its data is from, and credit it below. These lists can be old, and a rest area is often day-use only, so check the signs. Where a list says a place is closed, we show its words and its dates.
Check before you go
Roads, fire bans, park closures and weather change quickly. The official warnings in the app can be late, and this website does not show them. Check these official sources before you travel.
- QLDTrafficRoad closures and roadworks
- Queensland Fire DepartmentFire bans and bushfire warnings
