Description

Moreton Island provides a variety of coastal camping experiences, some accessible by 4WD, others accessible by boat or close to barge landing points. A vehicle access permit is required to drive on Moreton Island. Camping permits are required and fees apply. A camping tag with your booking number must be displayed at your camp site at all times. All camping permits must be obtained before you arrive on the island (there is no self-registration on site) Blue Lagoon campground offers beach style camping with medium to large sites, many with shade. All sites are marked with totems. Campground is within easy access to ocean surf beach and within walking distance to Blue Lagoon. The campground can be reached by 4WD and on foot by experienced bushwalkers only. Parking is available next to camp sites. It is accessible for camper trailers. If towing a trailer it is recommended to use Bulwer-Blue Lagoon Road instead of Middle Road as this track is one-way and narrow. The soft sand of Middle Road makes it easy for heavy vehicles to get bogged, which can block the track for several hours. A maximum of 25 sites are available, all marked with totems. Seasonal closures mean that not all sites will be full all year round. The campground is suitable for tent camping and camper trailers. Facilities include water (treat before drinking), septic toilets and cold showers. Open fires are allowed (in existing fire sites only), except when fire bans or prohibitions apply. Fuel or gas stoves, rather than open fires, are recommended. Collecting firewood on the island is prohibited. Bring your own firewood or purchase it at barge departure points or the Bulwer General Store. Chainsaws are prohibited in the national park, but an axe may be brought to split your own wood. Cut kindling from your firewood; do not collect twigs and branches from the bush. Generators and Pets are not permitted.
