Camping

Great Sandy National Park (which includes K'gari) is an e-permit camping area. Note that campsites not managed by the National Park Service, such as UniSC's Research and Learning Centre at Dilli Village, do not require a permit.

All camping areas have capacity limits and may become booked out, especially during peak holiday periods. Book early (up to six months in advance).

Camping areas with dingo deterrent fencesare recommended for families with children 14 years and under.

These sites are located at Dilli Village, Central Station; Dundubara; Lake Boomanjin, Waddy Point top camping area and a range of sites along the Eastern beach. The number of fenced camping areas is increasing. Check the QPWS website for updates on fenced areas.
