Poverty Creek Camping Area

Nestled on the shores of the picturesque Pumicestone Passage, Poverty Creek Camping Area offers a serene escape for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. Accessible by high-clearance 4WD or by boat, this camping spot is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Bribie Island National Park, just 65km north of Brisbane.

Set up camp in a spacious grassy area dotted with shady trees, ideal for groups and camper trailers. The site boasts stunning views of the Glasshouse Mountains and Donnybrook, providing a scenic backdrop for relaxation and outdoor activities. Whether you're keen on fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying a peaceful stroll along the water’s edge at low tide, Poverty Creek caters to all interests. Anglers can enjoy casting their lines for flathead, whiting, tailor, and mangrove jack directly from the beach or by boat.

For the more adventurous, the surrounding areas are perfect for exploring with a 4WD, offering access to more remote parts of the island. Ensure you have a vehicle access permit displayed on your windscreen, as 24-hour number plate surveillance cameras monitor the area. From the bridge, the journey to Poverty Creek is a scenic drive north along Sunderland Drive and White Patch Esplanade, following the main track past Gallagher Point to reach your destination.
