Description

Camping permits are required and fees apply. A camping tag with your booking number must be displayed at your camp site at all times. All camping permits must be obtained before you arrive on the island (there is no self-registration on site) North-east camping zone covers all eastern beach camp sites between Middle Road, heading north to Spitfire Creek, excluding sites in the campground. Sites vary in size and range from secluded sites to close, social camping areas. Many sites have sea views and shade. This camping zone offers exposed surf beaches. The camping zone can be reached by 4WD and on foot by experienced bushwalkers only. Parking is available beside camp sites. It is accessible for camper trailers. If towing a trailer it is recommended to use Bulwer-Blue Lagoon Road instead of Middle Road as this track is one-way and narrow. The soft sand of Middle Road makes it easy for heavy vehicles to get bogged which can block the track for several hours. A maximum of 89 sites are available, all marked with totems. Seasonal closures mean that not all sites will be full all year round. Sites are unpowered and suitable for tents , camping neside your car and camper trailers. There are no facilities. This camping zone offers surf beaches. For hygiene purposes, campers who are planning an extended stay should bring a portable toilet. Please do not place contents into toilets on the island-it destroys the bacteria in the systems. All portable toilet waste must be removed from the island. Open fires are allowed (in existing fire sites only), except when fire bans or prohibitions apply. Fuel or gas stoves, rather than open fires, are recommended. Generator use is permitted. Be considerate; use them between 8.00 am and 7.00 pm only. Moreton Island is remote and facilities are limited. There is no resident doctor on the island and medical assistance is hours away. All campers need to be self-sufficient and plan ahead for any contingency. Mobile phone coverage is poor and unreliable.
