Bribie Island Camping

There are a few rules to camping on Bribie Island. As each camping site is on National Park land, campers must adhere to the following list of rules set out by Queensland National Parks

• Camp sites must be booked before visiting.
• Due to being on National Park land, a vehicle access permit is required to reach your campgrounds and must be displayed on your vehicle’s dashboard.
• To protect fragile areas, camping is only permitted in designated camp sites. Camping is not permitted on the beach foredunes, northern spit or on nearby islands within the marine park.
• Please camp within the open spaces provided—do not push into vegetated areas or clear new areas for camping. Remain at least 5m away from vegetation at all times.
• Domestic animals are not permitted.
• Carry all your rubbish to dispose of appropriately outside of the National Park.

With a high demand for some camping areas, it is recommended that you book 6-weeks in advance of your intended stay. Peak periods, such as public and school holidays, it is recommended to book early to avoid disappointment. Depending on the camping area, you may be able to book from one to 12 months in advance.
