The best camping in Deepwater National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Deepwater National Park, where the untamed wilderness beckons. Traverse sandy beaches, witness the spectacle of nesting turtles, and immerse yourself in the serenity of nature. With campgrounds like Middle Rock and Wreck Rock, set up your tent amid the coastal scrub and wake to the sound of the ocean.

Notable campgrounds

  • Middle Rock camping area - A secluded spot accessible by 4WD, perfect for an off-the-grid escape.
  • Wreck Rock camping area - Offers easier access for conventional vehicles and a chance to camp near the beach.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book online early to secure your spot at this sought-after natural retreat.
  • Visit during off-peak seasons for a better chance at snagging a reservation.
  • Keep an eye on park alerts for last-minute availability due to cancellations.
  • Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan.

  • Be prepared for 4WD access only in certain areas of the park.
