Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Curtis Island National Park adventure.
Enjoy back-to-nature bush camping right by the beach on this remote island.
Cruise out to Curtis Island or bring a 4WD on the ferry and set out to explore the national park. Hike along the island’s remote east coast, drive along bush trails and beaches in a 4WD, or cruise between sandy coves, where you can pitch your tent on secluded beaches at one of the island’s three campgrounds. Wildlife enthusiasts will be in their element. Look out for rare birds such as black-necked storks, rainbow lorikeet parrots, and Capricorn yellow chats; spot flatback turtles; or dive in to swim and snorkel in the protected marine park.
Curtis Island has a sub-tropical climate, and the average daytime temperature is 27°C year-round. The dry months of April through September are most popular for hiking and camping. October through March sees the rainiest weather, but it’s also the time to spot flatback turtles nesting and hatching along Turtle Beach.
