Ungowa camping area sits on the south-western coastline of K'gari (Fraser Island), beside sheltered mangroves along Ungowa Creek.

The area offers open, shady campsites as well as defined off-road camper trailer sites, and is accessible only by high-clearance 4WD vehicles. Mobile phone coverage is generally not available.

The site is well regarded as a fishing destination, with the creek and surrounding waters known for species such as whiting and flathead. Basic facilities include toilets, cold-water washing-up stations, and picnic tables.

The old jetty and boat ramp are off-limits to pedestrians. Visitors should be aware of Queensland's regulations regarding wongari (dingoes), as feeding or intentionally attracting them is an offence. A Queensland Parks permit is required to camp here.
