Stargazing

My partner and I had the most amazing at this campsite. The hosts were so kind, funny and really made the place a great vibe! We can not wait to come back for another stay soon! We also saw amazing wildlife here and the stars at night were spectacular! Highly recommend this place! If you’re lucky you may get fresh eggs and chilli’s!

A great place to stay

My family and I had a great time staying at Tee's place. Tee was a great host and her and her partner went out of their way to look after us and our kids. The kids loved the chickens. The camping area is shady and there are nice sites laid out. You need to be self sufficient, but there is drinking water available to refill containers. Close to Horseshoe Bay, which is a great beach.

Lovely stay at Magnetic Island

We had a very nice stay at The Forts. Tee was very nice, she gave us lots of tips for the island. She had a great energy around herself. We used the double campings bike (Racey Red) to go to the beach which was really fun! At our last day Tee even gave us eggs from the chicken on the camping. I would definitely recommend this camping to anyone looking for a nice stay on Magnetic Island!
