Maheno Campground is part of Beach Camping Zone 5 on K'gari (Fraser Island), situated along the eastern beach between Eli Creek and The Pinnacles. It sits within the K'gari (Fraser Island) Recreation Area, managed by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.

The camping area has no facilities and is designed for tent camping beside a 4WD vehicle, walk-in camping, and off-road camper trailers. Generators are permitted between 9 am and 9 pm (under 65 decibels/2. 0 kVa), and mobile phone coverage is intermittent.

The nearby Maheno Wreck and Eli Creek — a popular freshwater swimming spot — are close attractions. As with all of K'gari, visitors should be aware that feeding or deliberately attracting wongari (dingoes) is an offence carrying penalties.
