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.

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.

You are welcome to choose your preferred spot. There's lots of tall trees for shade and the grass is lush and soft. There is a fire pit (when fires are permitted) so bring marshmallows to toast for the children. This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower. There is access to water but no rubbish facilities are available. All rubbish has to go home with you We have lots of wildlife in particular birds, hence dogs need to be on a leashes at all times. We are located half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with the bush giving our property great privacy. There is lots of opportunity for bush walking. Prospective campers have to get on site by daylight, as there are no dedicated spots and access could be difficult. Pets on leashes welcome.

Craig was very kind and helpful with getting me into the musings of Brisbane by Ferry. Water is there. Power for those who need it. It is a safe place and the highway can be heard at night, but not felt. So, when I need a place within Brisbane again, I believe this is an affordable Option for some days.

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.

Absolutely spectacular views of the glass house mountains and Moreton bay. Lovely green pastures and horses and cows come and meet you each afternoon. Not close to others so nice and private. Ground is undulating to steep (as you’d expect on a ridge) so bring plenty of levelling blocks. We’ll definitely be back!

If your passing by Bribie or Brissy you have to stop at this place, if you have kids or not this place if awesome, slides, kayaks, playgrounds and more, not to mention how well maintained it is. Love it and will be back again. Only downside is no toilet but figure that out for yourself. It doesn’t stop having a great time.

The best camping in St. Helena Island National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Step back in time at St. Helena Island National Park, where history and nature intertwine. Explore the remnants of a colonial-era prison, wander through the ruins, and immerse yourself in the island's rich cultural tapestry. With no camping available, the park offers a unique day-trip adventure, inviting visitors to uncover its storied past amid scenic surroundings.

When to go

The best time to visit St. Helena Island National Park is during Brisbane's mild subtropical climate, typically from April to September. Avoid the hotter, more humid summer months when the weather can be less comfortable for outdoor activities.

Know before you go

  • Ensure your safety by staying behind rope barriers and following park guidelines.
  • Check park alerts for any closures or safety information before your visit.
  • Accessibility is limited, so contact the park office for information on wheelchair access.
  • Remember to bring essentials like a hat, sunscreen, and water, as there are no supplies on the island.
  • Domestic animals are not permitted within the national park.
