About Bribie Island National Park

For a camping close to Brisbane, it is hard to go past Bribie Island, with open beaches, excellent campgrounds and the chance to engage 4wd on the sand.

There are numerous picnic areas, and tracks to explore. During summer, huge flocks of migratory birds visit the island and it is no uncommon to see turtles and dugong in the passage just off shore.

Covering 49 square kilometres of Bribie Island, the national park protects an important environment for migratory birds, which come from as far away as Siberia to feed on the Island before continuing on their journey. Much of the island can be explored by 4wd and on foot, but having access to a boat, or canoe/kayak will let you explore the Pumistone Passage providing (usually) calm water or the ocean side of the island providing the chance to get dumped by a wave. A number of the campsites can only be reached by boat, and they are easily accessed by canoe.

The Bribie Island National Park Recreation Map, provides a good overview of boat access, picnic areas and walks throughout the park.
