Planning your trip

Queensland campsites on Billy Camp come mainly from the state's official topographic mapping, which shows where a camping ground is but not who runs it. Several names here look alike: the Nine Mile Beach campsites are named Pandanus, Casuarina, Melaleuca and Myrtella, and each is a separate campsite. Match the full name when you search.

Search the campsite name on the Queensland Parks camping pages. If it is listed, you will need a camping permit, and park alerts show current access and closures. If it is not listed, find the land manager before you go. Some Capricorn campsites are reached by unsealed or four-wheel-drive tracks, so check access first.
