The campsite is situated on the beach, sheltered by the sheoaks in the back dunes. At the rear of the campsite lies a freshwater lagoon, locally known as the keyholes.
Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums.
The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience.
A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals.
Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.

What a great spot, private and plenty of space! Helpful to have toilets and the shower too!! The kitchen was good especially for washing up. An absolute bonus to have a solar set with battery so we could charge our devices!! John was super helpful with heaps of local knowledge. We are looking forward to going back again!!

Fantastic little hideaway north of Brisbane! We met Ryan as we checked in and he gave us some great recommendations of where to go and what we could do with our dog!
Stayed in site 4, and even with a little rain overnight, it was a fantastic place! Great views!

Good location if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle but still close to everything. You do get a bit of noise from the motorway but nothing really outrageous.

Had the best time at Tappy’s… such a wonderful campsite.. everything you need and nothing you don’t.. so great to drive down the beach and enjoy a total getaway. We met John and his son Steve who own the place - two of the absolute best humans. So happy to have found this awesome gem. We’ll be back!

We had a great stay. The location suited us perfectly. We were able to use it as a base station visiting family at Eumundi, Mooloolaba and only a short drive back home. Location was great. Very quiet, beautiful horses roaming and the usual native animal friends.
