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.

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.

I like this camping spot, I brought a camping trailer in easy enough. Seemed to be out of the wind behind the sand dunes too. Had an undercover seating and kitchen area which would be handy if it rains. The bush toilets and shower were fine for us too. The only thing is you can't really get in or out if the tides over 1.5m just keep an eye on it and it'll be fine. John was a good host, I'd come back.

Great spot, bush camping right on the beach. Private and away from the overcrowded areas but still nice and close to everything! Thanks John

The spot is perfect, it's a little piece of heaven with swimming hole and beach just a walk away, it's very natural with plenty to do for a family and everything is close by. Loved access to the shower and ammenities. Unfortunately, when we booked the site, we expected to get a specific spot but no site was allocated to us upon arrival, also there were supposed to be only two sites when we booked but there were more sites occupied. We were allowed to choose were to set up a camp but also felt like that spot was an afterthought and not ready yet. Be warned that the ground is very uneven for a bigger tent, so would not go back there with our two room tent. The environment was unkept - a lot of building materials around the place and some work was done during our stay which didn't feel private or natural at all and rather was disruptive, definitely not something I would expect for the money we paid. On the other hand the owners were pleasant and nice to have a chat with. They explained that camping area is growing and they are preparing more sites, to which I can see the vision, yet it seems we arrived at the wrong time and were part of the process rather than the finished beautiful place to stay.
