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!!!

We had an overall great experience. We did have difficulty finding the entrance, due to the storm changing the entrance to the camp.
It is a lovely walk to the beach from the camp.
The camp it self is well stocked with all necessities, even toilet paper. The only downside was the piles of rubbish nearby.

John's land is a peaceful place between a freshwater lake and the surf filled with birdsong. Great amenities. We would love to come back.

4x4 camping on Straddie main beach

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

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.

Great campsite hidden from the wind . Great little outdoor shower and loo.
Good entertaining area to cook up and fillet fish .
Beach fishing was average due to wind but pick the right time would be great little spot .
Clean and tidy camp

We found the campsite to be a little unkempt - the toilets were full and were off putting, the kitchen sink water didn’t work so difficult to wash up there. It was a lovely to have a hot shower which only occurs after a hot day heats the water. It was a lovely walk though to the beach and the sound of the waves at night.

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.

We had a great time camping in this spot. It was a secluded area so had no one bothering us and came with a camp kitchen, shower and toilets. Perfect for me and my partner, would recommend!

Quiet, secluded location off the beach and away from others. Toilets and showers were a great addition. Fire pit with pre-stocked firewood was great after a long day out in the sand. Thanks John!

My daughter and I had a great spontaneous couple of nights camping at Tappy’s. We were very fortunate to have the site to ourselves (even being school holidays). The 4WD lesson getting in was very much appreciated in the soft sand as were the hot showers. The camp is well setup with quite a bit of equipment so we didn’t need to take nearly as much as we did. John was very friendly and helpful at all times. A bit of a cleanup around camp would make it a near perfect experience.

Awesome place the stay, best spot for camping, fishing & exploring. John was friendly & really easy to communicate with. Plenty of firewood around to use. All the amenities were well thought out. Would highly recommend for that beach camping experience.

A hidden gem amongst the and dunes. Tappy has a fantastic bush camp set up. Camp kitchen with bush toilets and a donkey boil style hot shower. I would recommend booking both sites so that you have the whole site to yourself

Great location. What a treat to have a private camping spot with ability to have a campfire + great facilities. Cooking / washing setup and toilets were clean and well stocked. Private location, didn’t hear anyone else the whole time we were there. John was very helpful and gave us great directions before and after. Had a great couple days camping. Would recommend

Mixed opinions about the site. It's advertised as having potable water, however the water is not safe for drinking, in other words, not potable. We were lucky the owner was there to let us know. We were also lucky we brought sufficient drinking water with us.
It's good that there are facilities on site, the shower and kitchen area were welcome. The toilets were good, but keep in mind you have to work the toilets yourself, ie. It's a bucket system and you have to change the buckets yourself. The full buckets are kept in the open air for composting which can get smelly at times.
The two sites are close to each other and there was not much privacy from the other family there.
The site we got was not in great condition, we had to share it with an abandoned caravan, trailer and some rubbish in the form of an old mattress and other things. Not the best view.
Other than that, the area surrounding the camp site is beautiful, the beach is pristine. We didn't get to check out the lake.

Great isolated spot. The amenities made the stay much more enjoyable, the bush shower was a bloody ripper! Fishing right out the front, fresh water swimming hole out the back. Peace and serenity as you listen to the wind blow through the She-Oak.
