15km from Bribie Island National Park · 1 site · Tent, RV · Glass House Mountains, QLD
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.

The best camping in Bribie Island National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Bribie Island offers beautiful coastal scenery, low-key bush camping spots, popular boating and fishing areas in Pumicestone Passage, excellent birdwatching opportunities and spring wildflowers.

Linked to the mainland by bridge, about 90 kilometres north of Brisbane, Bribie Island is a seaside community with all the facilities you’d want for your camping trip. Coastal camping offers opportunities for birders, with up to 15,000 migratory shorebirds visiting the island’s wetlands between December and April. Expect to see ospreys, sea eagles, brahminy kites, and whistling kites. Three camping areas are accessible only by 4WD and another two by boat. The calm Pumicestone Passage is perfect for kayaking, with the backdrop of the Glass House Mountains. Don’t be surprised if you see dolphins, dugongs or turtles.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for fishing: Lime Pocket, accessible by boat, offers excellent fishing.
  • Best for big groups: Poverty Creek camping area has grassy open spaces.
  • Best for water views: Gallagher Point camping area overlooks Pumicestone Passage.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Camping permits, available online or by phone, are required.
  2. Book at least three months in advance if you can, or up to 12 months in advance for Queensland school holiday times.

When to go

Bribie Island has a mild, subtropical climate. The average daily temperature range is 22–30° C in summer and 12–22° C in winter. Summer (December to February) is hot and humid and can see some fantastic afternoon thunderstorms. Spring (September to November) is a lovely time to camp, but Australian school holiday times can be busy.

Know before you go

  • Access requires a 4WD vehicle and a vehicle access permit.
  • Campers may only access booked campsites after 2pm on the day of arrival and must leave by 11am.
  • Bring drinking water. There is no water supply at Gallagher Point or Lime Pocket camping areas; water in the taps at the other camping areas is not suitable for drinking.
  • It is illegal to collect firewood in the park, so bring wood if you want a campfire.
  • When driving on the beach, check the tides and travel as close to low tide as possible, as this is when conditions are safest.
