About Gallagher Point Camping Area

Gallagher Point Camping Area is situated within the Bribie Island National Park, accessible primarily by high-clearance four-wheel drive vehicles. Located near Banksia Beach, this camping ground offers six numbered sites suitable for tents and off-road camper trailers. The environment consists of open woodland and provides a quiet alternative to larger, more developed camping areas on the island. Visitors must bring their own supplies, including drinking water and fuel stoves, as the site offers minimal facilities to maintain its natural state.

This location serves as a practical base for fishing, kayaking, and exploring the coastal tracks of the national park.
