Upper Noosa River Campsite 5

Upper Noosa River Camp Site 5 is a remote, low-facility campsite within the Cooloola Recreation Area, situated along the upper Noosa River in Queensland.

It is accessible only by canoe, kayak, or electric-motor boat, as motorised vessels are not permitted beyond Camp Site 3.

The site sits among open forest and woodland featuring melaleuca, allocasuarina, bloodwood, and eucalypt species, with open heathland plains to the east. Natural shade is provided by the surrounding vegetation.

The campsite accommodates one group of up to four people, with a short walk from the riverbank landing area to the site itself. Camping directly on the riverbank is not permitted. There are no facilities on site; portable toilets are recommended.

Camp fires are prohibited, so a gas or fuel stove is essential for cooking. Visitors should bring their own drinking water and rubbish bags. Mobile phone coverage is generally unavailable in this area.
