Our little piece of paradise is 50 acres of paddock and bushland set in the Glass House Mountains, halfway between Brisbane and Noosa. Property is close to lots of walking tracks and mountains to hike in the area and we are only 5ish mins drive from the town centres of Glass House Mountains and Beerwah. We are surrounded by pineapple farms and honest boxes of limes, pineapples and avocados are spotted along the nearby streets. Our little hobby farm is perfect for a city break! Wake up to the sound of chirping birds and wallabies passing through. There is an old macadamia orchid and we are currently in the process of building a new chicken coop, so will hopefully have hens and eggs soon! Numerous damns and creeks run through the property but they have not been cleared of weeds for swimming. Clyde is our resident horse who will likely come visit you at your campsite. He is the sweetest boy and loves nothing more than a carrot and a gentle pat. He is an old boy now so not suited for riding but is a wonderful companion! There are no facilities here so all campers will need to be self sufficient with a camping toilet. It is preferred that campers bring their own water but bore water can be supplied if you run out (not the ideal for drinking). I live in the main house so am available for any emergencies but will give you your privacy! Dogs are welcome as long as they do not chase off the wildlife and are calm around the horse. I have a dog at the house so must also be dog friendly or else kept on lead! Campfires are allowed in designated fire pit dependant on fire rating.

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.

Weekend Trip to The Rustic Resort Wamuran
Absolutely loved our stay at WoopWoop! This was the first camping trip for the two of us without any “camping expert friends,” and WoopWoop turned out to be the perfect choice. I chose this campsite for its location and amenities, and I have zero regrets — we’re already looking forward to coming back, and I highly recommend it to others. The site and facilities were exceptionally clean and very well maintained by Peter & Doris, who welcomed us with genuine warmth. We added firewood to our booking and Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by the great quality of it. Plus, the little bit of 4WD driving required to enter the site added an extra layer of fun to the experience! If this was in middle of year, I would already made another booking :) 10/10!!

What a spot! Peter and Doris have one of the best Hipcamps I have stayed at. I was on a solo mission, and it met my requirements perfectly. Peaceful and secluded, but also super convenient being just under an hour from Brisbane City. A float in dam is the best to start, and finish, your day. You’ll also share the space with plenty of amazing bird life, including a few beautiful Kingfishers. I look forward to bringing back a few mates for a weekend away.

Having some experience now with off-grid camping, the Magic Pond is value for the price you pay. The camping spot is nice, easy to access and big enough to give you some privacy. Not enough space to go for long walks with the dog, but Beachmere, Bribie or Brisbane are not a long drive away. Midges are a bit of a bother some times of the year, and nothing seems to keep them away! A smudging fire, or go to bed ...

Weekend Trip to Nine Mountains Glamping
We chose Nine Mountains as the place to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and it exceeded every hope we had. It is barefoot luxury; the perfect blend of what both campers and comfort-seekers dream of… beautifully crafted rustic spaces immersed in nature, paired with thoughtful touches that make the stay feel truly special. It is the kind of setting that slows you down, fills your lungs with fresh air, and leaves you with memories that linger long after you leave. There was even some unexpected entertainment courtesy of a cheeky local bush turkey and an early morning visit from a kangaroo family. If you are looking for a peaceful, beautifully designed escape with soul and scenery in abundance, Nine Mountains is a little slice of heaven worth discovering.

The best camping in Moreton Island National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Tall sand dunes, miles of sandy beaches, crystal clear creeks and lagoons, coastal heath, rocky headlands and abundant wildflowers make Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) a jewel in Moreton Bay.

Known by its First Nations name of Mulgumpin, this large sand island sits in Moreton Bay, just 40 kilometres by ferry or barge from Brisbane. Campers heading for the island’s five camping areas or five beach camping zones in the sand dunes need to be self-sufficient and have a 4WD vehicle or be prepared to hike. The island has three small townships and a large resort at Tangalooma, meaning facilities are very limited, although Bulwer township has a grocery store, bait shop, and café. Snorkel above the 12 shipwrecks off the island or hike to the lighthouse at Cape Moreton to dip into history.

Moreton Island National Park Glamping

White-sand beaches, wildflower-blanketed headlands, and endless ocean views await on Moreton Island, just a 75-minute ferry ride from Brisbane. With more than 95% of the island protected within Moreton Island National Park, this Brissie getaway is brimming with outdoor adventures. Go snorkelling around the Tangalooma Wrecks, bathe in a pristine blue lagoon, or swim in a natural bay amid pods of wild dolphins, then try your hand at sand tobogganing, sea kayaking, or quad biking. When it comes to overnighting, glamping offers a middle ground between the luxury seaside resorts and rustic beachside campsites. Check into a glamping cabin or glamping tent and enjoy the back-to-nature experience of camping without giving up your home comforts. Most glampsites include a comfy bed, ensuite bathroom, and a kitchenette, along with solar-powered lighting and access to power points to charge your devices and wifi.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for families: Ben-ewa campground is just off a sheltered bay.  
  • Best for trailer camping: North Point has a dedicated trailer site.
  • Best for walk-in campers: The Wrecks campground is walking distance to the ferry.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Permits to drive or camp must be obtained from Mulgumpin Camping.
  2. Try to book at least three months in advance, especially for Australian school holidays.

When to go

Moreton Island has a mild, subtropical climate, with average daily temperatures from 22–30°C in summer (December to February) and 12–22°C in winter (June to August). The busiest times are school holidays, especially over Christmas and New Year's, although this can be a hot, humid time to visit. June to October is best to see migrating humpback whales as they pass through Moreton Bay.

Know before you go

  • Bring water and containers—always treat or boil water before drinking.
  • A wifi hotspot is available at The Wrecks camping area.
  • No areas of Moreton Island National Park are wheelchair accessible.
  • Mosquitoes and sandflies can be fierce, so insect repellent is essential. Always wash it off before swimming in creeks or lakes as it is highly toxic to fish.
