About Blakesleys Anchorage
Blakesleys Anchorage offers a primitive camping experience situated on the southwestern coast of North Stradbroke Island. Accessible only by water, this site caters to visitors who arrive via private vessel or kayak from the mainland or nearby islands. The campground features limited amenities, requiring guests to be entirely self-sufficient with their own water, food, and waste management supplies. The location is known for its calm waters and provides an ideal base for activities such as fishing, crabbing, and exploring the shoreline.
Positioned away from the more developed townships, the site allows for a quiet stay within the Moreton Bay Marine Park. Visitors often navigate the western channels or head north towards the Myora Springs conservation area for day trips. The natural landscape consists of native scrub and sandy beachfronts, providing a habitat for local birdlife and marine species. Permits are essential for all stays, and campers must adhere to strict environmental guidelines to preserve the surrounding ecosystem of this remote island destination.
