Rest 1770
Traveller’s Rest 1770 Eco Camping
Connecting People with Nature, and Nature with People!
Traveller’s Rest 1770 Eco Camping is a family-owned nature-campground located on the outskirts of Eurimbula National Park, in the beautiful beachside town of Agnes Water/1770, Queensland!
The campground is run with passion and care by Mike and Michi who’s vision it is to connect People with Nature, and Nature to People! The spacious powered and unpowered sites are surrounded by native bushland, allowing an abundance of wildlife to call Traveller’s Rest 1770 their home. Our well-maintained amenities add an extra bit of comfort to the only Ecotourism certified Nature-Campground on the Discovery Coast! Our guests start their day with calls of Kookaburra’s, nestled in tall Gumtrees and settle by their campfire at night to enjoy clear views of the night sky. Traveller’s Rest 1770 invites their guests to immerse themselves in a truly restful camping experience on their 44-acres property – far enough away from the hustle of town but close enough to enjoy a trip to Lady Musgrave Island – the Gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef.
Experience the bespoke bushland boardwalk meandering along a carefully chosen path or the brand-new birdhide, inviting you to tune into a natural harmony of bird calls, rustling leaves and gentle breezes. The bushland boardwalk can be accessed by wheelchairs and prams, and our spacious undercover BBQ Area offers a generous space for shade, rest and wildlife observations.
We acknowledge the Traditional People of the country on which we work and live.

Herzlich Willkommen in unserem Australischen Zuhause in dem ich mit meiner Familie seit 2010 lebe.
How to find us?
Along the pristine coastline of Queensland lays the Discovery Coast, nestled between Bundaberg and Bagara in the South through to the town of Rockhampton and Yeppoon in the North. On the way from Bundaberg, you will drive through Sugar Cane fields, cattle pastures and wide-open roads, which are so well-known for Queensland. Immerse yourself in the relaxing drive to “Traveller’s Rest 1770 Eco Camping”, conveniently located on the main road to Agnes Water. Our family-run campground is the closest access point to Eurimbula National Park, with its endless sandy beach and lookout walks. Agnes Water is only six kms away and offers everything a Traveller’s Heart could wish for.
When leaving Agnes Water to the North, you will pass little country towns and might end up in the state’s engine room – Gladstone or visit the Calliope River Historical Village. The beauty of travelling is, you never know where the road will take you!
Testimonials
Amenities were very clean and showers were great!
There may be some traffic noise from the highway but to be honest it didn't affect our stay!
If you are looking for a spacious peaceful place to stay then Travellers Rest is the place to stay.
Thank you again for a lovely few days of relaxation ☺️
Plenty of room, great facilities and great people running it! Highly recommended.
Before we left, we went for a morning stroll with a cup of coffee on the boardwalk that they’ve built through the bush, listening to the bird song and reading all the little signs with interesting facts about the land, wildlife and flora that they’ve placed.
You could easily stay a few days here, there seemed so much to do. The toilet and washing facilities were spotless (beautiful hot showers!) as were the BBQ and picnic area.
Highly, highly recommend.
When i arrived i was greeted by Mike and informed about a talk he was hosting that night around the topic of bush tucker. During my stay i attended a few screenings about multiple different topics, history and storytelling, not to mention mike does “bushtracks” a guided tour through the property (which is a must do!) and also a forest bathing walk.
This campsite is more then just that, there is a boardwalk that leads you into the bush and offers up so many sites to see, different trees and plants, the forest actually changes halfway! There’s a fire trail which is like a boulevard you see pictured in magazines and calendars. I woke up to kangaroos grazing in the mornings and heard owls and possums of a night, not to mention the GreenTree frogs that like the bathrooms of a nighttime.
The family were so accomodating during my stay, making sure regularly that i had everything i needed. The children are so friendly and curious and both mike and Mickey are an absolute pleasure to communicate with and get to know.
Reception is patchy but accessible out there, one of the perks of the place is being able to switch off and immerse yourself with your surroundings.
There is a beautiful pond full of Lillie’s and lotus flowers, the bbq area is so spacious and town is just a 5-10 minute drive. The showers are nice and hot and the block is always clean.
This site really was a true gift and experience for me on my journey and I recommend it to anyone and everyone i meet
Thank you to you all, i cannot wait to visit again someday
Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Traveller's Rest 1770.
Cheers for having us I will definitely be back over Easter
