26km from Wellington Point · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · Point Lookout, QLD

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.

Camped behind the dune at the beach, ocean within footsteps, love the experience, there’s a fun little obstacle to get up the dune plan the tide so you have plenty of runway :) Short walk to the pond in the common area, got paddle boards and mini kayaks, little fella loved it. Love the BBQ and sleep with ocean sound background, with k’s of pipi’s fresh outta low tide, Mark knows the trick how to cook them :)

Absolutely stunning views. Really lovely owners came and made sure I was all good and if needed anything. Pretty new campsite and they have plenty of plans for the future. Really big pitches and free campfires just need logs. Although one of the people staying there came and gave me loads for free. As I say really nice people. Going to book another night just for the sake of being here

Great spot for a few quiet nights away. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves. The place has everything you would need, camp kitchen with sink connected to water, gas burner and a table under a roof. Hot showers and toilets (composting). Short walk down to the beach. Perfect time of the year also, watching whales, dolphins and catching fish daily. Easy enough to get to as the entrance was washed away. John sent through directions and a map. Would camp here again!!!

Pete and Andrea are the new caretakers of this potentially great property and are the most caring and attentive people you could wish to meet and deserve recognition for their excellent communication, hospitality and utmost friendliness. They went above and beyond to assist in every way to ensure that I enjoyed a most pleasant stay. The property is well worth a visit but currently requires a LOT of TLC. Right now its very run down and has obviously seen better days. . However … watch this space as Pete and Andrea have exciting plans to optimise the fabulous potential of the property and transform it into a “must visit” camping hideaway. To the owners, my recommendations are to action as a priority the following: 1/ Get rid of the FUN MOUNTAIN name!!! It is not a fun mountain and this redicilous name gives the impression that it’s a theme park. This is definitely not the case and needs to be renamed to reflect the wonderful natural environment amongst nature surrounded by National parks and forest. 2/ Get rid of the trash, disued vehicles, farm equipment, delapidated structures and old entertaining kitchen etc. This will also hopefully get rid of the many ghosts that clearly still reside :) In summary, I’d highly recommend that this campsite be bookmarked as well worth a visit as the many trails, walks and areas around the dam are spectacular and once the random pieces of old rusted furniture, glass bottles and sunken canoes are cleared it will be amazing !!!!

Help write a We had a great stay—this is such a beautiful piece of land and a perfect place to unwind. It’s a very basic camping setup with minimal amenities, but that’s exactly what we were after, and the peaceful surroundings made it even better. We’d definitely return! A couple of small things to note: the composting toilets are a great eco-friendly option, but unfortunately, not all guests seemed to use them properly, and we ended up doing a bit of extra cleaning. The hot showers were a much-appreciated bonus, though the gas did run out at one point due to high guest numbers, so it’s something to be aware of. Mark was fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Thanks again for having us!

We loved camping at Tappys. 2 couples and a couple of dogs enjoyed the friendly and rustic site. All advertised amenities were better than expected and the evening's and nights under stars with the surf music was blissful. Beach access is fine and sea swimming at calmer times quite possible (just watching for the 4x4 beach traffic). The ponds are an easy walk and provide delightful, secluded fresh water swimming. Thanks to John and Steve for sharing their land and experience with us

We had a great time! Having a small capable camper trailer, being so close to the surf we had a real disconnect. Mark was a very good host trying to help us get to the camp and back to the main road with the changing surf due to Cyclone Alfred. If you enjoy being self sufficient, swimming, (attempting) fishing, and complete disconnect then you will have a good time.

Lovely spot on a lovely island. Was quite difficult to get to with the high tide. A neighbour put us up on his site for the night on John’s word. John was super helpful and made lots of effort to assure we were ok and made it in. Once in the site is gorgeous! My children lost their minds at how cool it all was and I will be recommending and be back. Thanks John.

This place is a great spot on North Stradbroke Island. Although tide dependant, close to Point Lookout, close to the Causeway 4WD access. Great facilities for a bush camp, with camp kitchen, shower and composting toilets. Camper trailer friendly, dog friendly. I have stayed/camped everywhere possible on this island, this is my pick. Highly recommend.
