Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Bribie Island National Park adventure.
Bribie Island offers beautiful coastal scenery, low-key bush camping spots, popular boating and fishing areas in Pumicestone Passage, excellent birdwatching opportunities and spring wildflowers.
Linked to the mainland by bridge, about 90 kilometres north of Brisbane, Bribie Island is a seaside community with all the facilities you’d want for your camping trip. Coastal camping offers opportunities for birders, with up to 15,000 migratory shorebirds visiting the island’s wetlands between December and April. Expect to see ospreys, sea eagles, brahminy kites, and whistling kites. Three camping areas are accessible only by 4WD and another two by boat. The calm Pumicestone Passage is perfect for kayaking, with the backdrop of the Glass House Mountains. Don’t be surprised if you see dolphins, dugongs or turtles.
Bribie Island has a mild, subtropical climate. The average daily temperature range is 22–30° C in summer and 12–22° C in winter. Summer (December to February) is hot and humid and can see some fantastic afternoon thunderstorms. Spring (September to November) is a lovely time to camp, but Australian school holiday times can be busy.
