Beach camps, blue water
and island tracks.
Moreton Island camping gives you access to some of South East Queensland’s best beaches, campgrounds, snorkelling spots and 4WD tracks. A suitable 4WD is essential for reaching most camping areas.
A must-do stop for snorkelling, swimming and sunset photos. The Wrecks are close to the MICAT arrival area and are ideal for first-day exploring.
Moreton Island is famous for huge dunes, soft sand tracks and beach driving. Your 4WD training helps you travel confidently and safely.
Camp near the coast and enjoy fishing, beach walks and quiet island mornings. Always follow tides, camping rules and beach driving safety.
Drive north to Cape Moreton for views, walks and wildlife spotting. This is one of the best areas to include in a multi-day camping itinerary.
Know before you camp
on Moreton Island.
Moreton Island is a national park and all visitors must follow vehicle, camping and environmental rules. We prepare the vehicle permit, provide 4WD training and help you understand tide and access basics before departure.
We arrange your national park vehicle permit on your behalf. Camping permits and MICAT ferry tickets are separate where required.
Camping areas can book out during school holidays, long weekends and peak periods. Plan early if you want specific camping zones.
Beach access changes with tides. Aim to drive at low tide and avoid soft, narrow or high-water sections.
Every booking includes a safety briefing covering tyre pressures, beach driving, recovery basics and Moreton Island conditions.
Use designated tracks only. Dune systems are fragile and off-track driving can damage vegetation and wildlife habitat.
Take all rubbish off the island, store food securely and keep wildlife wild. Moreton Island camping works best when everyone protects it.
