Escape the fast pace of everyday life and totally relax amongst natural, unspoilt beauty. A superb natural reserve, South Stradbroke Island offers calm inner waterways on one side, virtually untouched native bushland in the centre, and 22 kilometres of pristine surf beach on the other side. Three camping grounds on the island provide a choice of a self-contained cabin, onsite huts and tent sites. There are several ways to get to South Stradbroke Island including boat hire or charter, water taxi or your own private boat. Enjoy delicious meals, refreshments and views at Tipplers Licensed Cafe. Tipplers kiosk supplies basic groceries and camping essentials such as ice and firewood. Facilities include a safe netted swimming enclosure, barbecues and playgrounds. This really is a camping trip to get away from it all!
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Great sites and facilities. Peter the caretaker was very accommodating. Beautiful place to relax and get away and very convenient location as it is only a stones throw away from the city. Would definitely come back to camp again. Thanks for a lovely two days.

This is such an amazing camp site that is only minutes away from the Gold Coast. You can only get there by boat but it’s worth it. Awesome facilities, not crowded and wallabies everywhere. Our site was right next to the water, it was nice and quiet and so good relaxing at night near a camp fire. So easy to walk to the surf beach. We didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be back there again.

Perfect for our family of four. The cabin had everything we needed including a perfect hot shower after a day on the Broadwater. 12 minute walk to surf beach. Campground was surprisingly quiet. Had wallabies visiting for water. Perfect combination of being away from it all but with the perks of modern living. Fishing during the day and watching the footy at night. Home refreshed.

South Stradbroke Island is so close and yet it seems a world away. Camping in shady tent sites by the Broadwater beach is so relaxing. Toilet blocks are well kept and showers are great. The camp kitchen also has lockers available for power needs. The Managers Scott and Bec go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Ice and firewood are available on the island. A great place for a weekend or longer and the fishing is good too.

We had an awesome stay in the one of the shacks at tipplers campground. The shacks are beautifully setup - clean sheets and towels, comfy beds, beautiful views. Firewood and ice can be delivered to your site. Hot showers were great. Perfect, easy, budget friendly getaway.
