About Ben Ewa Camping Area
Ben Ewa camping area is situated on the western side of Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) National Park near Cape Moreton. This site offers shady, defined camping spots protected by coastal vegetation, making it a suitable choice for those wanting shelter from sea breezes. The campground provides basic facilities including composting toilets and cold showers, though visitors must bring their own treated water and rubbish bags. Access to the site requires a high-clearance four-wheel drive vehicle, as all tracks on the island are sand-based.
The location is particularly convenient for travellers arriving via the Micat ferry, as the landing point is only a short drive away. Guests can explore the nearby Tangalooma Wrecks, which are located south of the campground and offer opportunities for snorkelling and sightseeing. The calm waters of the western beach provide a safe environment for swimming and kayaking. Permits are mandatory for all campers and must be obtained through the Queensland National Parks booking system prior to arrival at the island.
