Hi there, 

I'm organizing a fishing trip to Frazer Island with my 4x4 camper and would like some help with places to camp. Any other tips about Frazer would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Markus

Inland roads are very narrow and very rough
Plan your trip with care.
On the other hand places like Lake McKenzie and other lakes are spectacular
Lots of buses using the inland roads too and also 4wd cowboys

I went on a bus tour rather than driving myself and was very pleased that I did

Wauri i think has given good advice , Many people have come to grief on the Island , And can be hard to navigate and get boged very easy .

Sorry. You can go alone, but travel with another 4x4 . Only today motor cyclist was air lifted to hospital after hitting a washout on the beach the fresh water runs from the sand hills to. The sea  creating washouts
