Harmony
Say hello to Harmony. She’s a gorgeously-styled 2022 Fiat Ducato Maxi based close to the Gold Coast for your ultimate getaway. Sleeping here won’t be a struggle as she’s got a dreamy extension bed that can be converted into a king if it’s just the two of you (or if there’s a little one to accommodate you get a double and they get a dinette that converts to a single bed.
Your home on wheels comes with a full kitchen, and there’s an outdoor hot water shower with an awning ensuite privacy. It’s worth noting there’s no toilet on board this baby, but you can check out our list of the best camping spots in Queensland and find your perfect family base.
Our fave thing about this Queensland campervan hire? The pull-out dining table and chairs out the back. Park up, pour yourself a glass of something spesh and take a pew while drinking in that view.

Adventurer
Start your Queensland family adventure as you mean to go on with this six-seater campervan that has everything you need to travel in style. The layout of this pad is perfect: it sleeps up to six, with two peeps inside the van, two on top in the pop-up, plus two outside in a two-man outdoor tent.
Prepare a group feast in the fully-equipped kitchen (it folds out from the back which is seriously handy), there’s heaps of storage to keep clutter to a minimum, plus a 20-litre toilet for keeping everyone comfy on trips.
Need a way to keep the fam cool come sleepy time? For a small additional fee, your hosts can provide a portable vehicle air-conditioner to add to your hire. It can run for six hours via a 12-volt battery, or 24/7 when plugged into power. Win!
Sunshine Coast | Sleeps 4
Vamuz
When you’ve got small peeps to keep happy during your Queensland road trip, you need a campervan to hire that gives the rascals their own space. Enter Vamuz, your tiny home away from home, who gives the adults good stuff like a memory foam mattress to snooze on, plus a bunk bed with proper bedding so there’s actual snooze-spots for the whole crew.
Your campervan comes with air-conditioning, a barbecue and handy extras like a camping table and chairs. We love the Fiamma awning and shade screen which gives you covered outdoor living, no matter what the weather’s doing.
Hire a surfboard from the legends who own Vamuz, and you can prep the fam for adventuring in between trips. Your mobile home comes with a 300Ah solar battery system so you can go off grid, plus you have an onboard toilet and outdoor shower to freshen up in between drives. Can’t bear to leave the doggo behind? No drama, because Floof’s welcome at this pet-friendly stay too.
Noosa Heads | Sleeps 4
Bilby The Bus
Got a crew of four to squeeze in your van? Check out Bilby the Bus, a custom-built campervan in a 1990 Toyota Coaster. This Queensland van for hire sleeps four but still manages to squeeze in a television and an outdoor kitchen, equipped with a double-burner stove and oven.
It's worth noting that this home on wheels is available for set up and stay within a 50km radius of Noosa Heads. He can be driven, but only by those who are comfortable operating a heavier manual vehicle.
Need even more room for the team? You can hitch Bilby the Love Bug along—a light and easily towed vintage 1979 Millard Caravan, adding three extra beds. Sounds like a party.
Best Dog-Friendly Campervan Hire Near Brisbane

Bilbo
Book a stay at Bilbo and you and the doggo are in for a Queensland campervan vacay with va-va-voom! Your four-wheeled home is part of the Ventured Campers family, and it’s a pet-friendly option with real plus points.
First up, Bilbo has been fitted with a modern V6 engine, so there’s heaps of power to get you to where you need to be. The seating area inside converts to a full-size Queen, so there’s plenty of space to cuddle up in, plus the duck down pillow, doona and linen is all included in the price of your stay.
Whip up a snack in the bespoke kitchen (oh hello gorgeous wooden benchtop), and you can munch it on the camping table under the pull-out awning outside. There’s a 22-inch TV for movie nights, and a RetroPie Gaming console—so you can get tucked into some Nintendo action if the mood takes.

Vanwilder (Van No.2)
Sleek and black on the outside. Seriously cute on the inside. Vanwilder is an all-inclusive Queensland campervan stay that is a top pet-friendly option for two peeps and a pooch. Inside, expect a tempting space with wood-panelling, clever storage solutions and a lovely kitchen space with statement tiles and taps.
Wake in your double bed (pillows and bedding is included) and throw open the doors to let the morning air flow right on through. Later, you can freshen up in the spacious bathroom with a hot water enabled shower (there’s space for your own porta potty too if you wish to bring one, which is pretty handy).
Your tiny home comes with an outdoor awning and outdoor furniture so you can enjoy dinner out in nature. Plus, did we mention the home cinema with a projector and bluetooth surround sound audio?

Clyde
Clyde might look like your run of the mill Queensland campervan on the outside. But step inside and you’ll discover why he gets five-star reviews. He’s seriously stylish, with wooden accents, a fabulous fully-equipped kitchen and the best hidden indoor shower, so there’s no need to head outdoors for a douse (unless you want to because that’s an option too).
He’s designed for all sorts of adventures and is off-grid ready, thanks to the 200W solar power & 600AH lithium battery that provides enough power for days. We love that he’s pet-friendly too (just with a small additional cleaning fee if your pup is a high-shedder).
Park up, throw open the back doors and gaze at whatever view you’ve chosen from bed. Later, you can crank up the surround sound system, pour yourself a glass of vino from the 113L Dometic fridge freezer, and take to the camping chairs to plan your next day.

Lottie The Glamavan
Ok, prep the Insta account because there’s your average Queensland campervan to hire, and then there’s Lottie The Glamavan. She is, quite simply, adorable, with her sunshine yellow stripe, retro furnishings and an interior that looks better than most people’s actual homes (wait til you see the shower room).

Pick yourself a powered camping spot and you can use all the good stuff Lottie has to offer (an air con unit is provided in the summer months and there’s two Sirocco fans). She also comes with an outdoor cooking set-up, the most beautiful outdoor awning and comfy Adirondack chairs for afternoon lounging with a cuppa.

Drifters Campervans
Holidaying in a van doesn’t need to be disorganised, ugly or uncomfortable—just look at the goods being dished up by Sunshine Coast business, Drifters Campervans. With two campervans for rent—Huey and our fave Frankie—these custom-built spaces have been finished with the finest materials and packed with awesome local products.
Expect to roll open the doors to find statement decor, hotel-quality bedding, excellent coffee, built-in power outlets, camping furniture, stovetop and fridge.
There’s no limit to how many kms you can travel, insurance is included and the only requirement is that you pick up and drop off the vans on the Sunshine Coast, which doesn’t sound too hard at all.
Mooloolaba | Sleeps 3
The Slow Lane
For fans of living life in the slow lane, this 2013 Toyota Coaster fits that bill perfectly. It’s one of the most unique vans you’ll see too: The Slow Lane is a custom-built motorhome fitted inside a Coaster bus and decked out with quality furnishings and fittings.
Hit the snooze button from your king-size bed (it can be configured if twin share singles if you need) and prepare for your next adventure. There's instant warm water and a shower and toilet on board for convenience, plus a gas four-burner cooktop and grill for that tasty brekky you're going to fancy.

Spoontie
Touch down at Brisbane airport and within an easy five-minute trip you can get acquainted with Spoontie, a romantic Queensland campervan hire with a skylight that means you can stargaze together from bed.

Prepare to sleep well, because your double bed can be extended into a queen, and it has that skylight above, with a fly screen to keep you nice and cool (or a black out blind if you prefer). There’s indoor and outdoor cooking facilities, and heaps of storage so you won’t be falling over all those clothes you brought.
