Book well in advance for popular spots
It is recommended that you book well in advance (at least six weeks) for the most popular camping spots, especially during peak periods like public and school holidays. In some parks and forests, you can book up to 12 months in advance.

Making your booking
If booking online through the Queensland National Parks Booking Service and you’re a first-time user, you’ll need to create an account before completing your booking.
Watch a video about creating an account .
Once booked, check your emails for a message with your booking number confirming that your camping or vehicle access permit has been confirmed and paid for. The notification will contain your camping and/or vehicle access tag/s, along with a Tax Invoice. You can also view the tag/s from Your Account view in the online system.
Print (or collect/create) your permit tag/s. If you are unable to print a permit tag you can collect one from nominated over-the-counter camping and vehicle access permit booking offices . If collection is not an option, write your booking number, surname and vehicle registration on a piece of paper, and place the paper in a clear, weatherproof bag. Bring a copy of your permit to display on your tent or recreational vehicle.
