Planning your trip
Queensland campsites on Billy Camp come mainly from the state's official topographic mapping. Most island campsites are Queensland Parks camping areas, which need a camping permit booked before you go. Park alerts show closures and conditions.
You will need your own boat or a camping transfer to reach island campsites, and some have limits on group size. Plan drinking water, weather and the return trip before you go. Match the exact beach or bay name on the Queensland Parks site when you book.
