About Ocean Beach Camping Area (Site C)
Ocean Beach Camping Area (Site C) is located on the eastern side of Bribie Island, accessible via four-wheel drive tracks from the Diamond Head area. This specific section of the national park provides a remote setting where visitors set up camp directly behind the coastal foredunes. The site requires both a vehicle access permit and a camping permit, catering to those who prefer a primitive outdoor experience over commercial holiday parks. Facilities are limited to basic toilets, requiring campers to bring their own drinking water, fuel stoves, and waste disposal systems.
Situated within the 4551 postcode region, the camping ground serves as a practical base for exploring the diverse ecosystems of the Sunshine Coast. Guests often visit the nearby Bribie Island Lighthouse to observe local maritime history and coastal terrain. The area is known for its proximity to the Pumicestone Passage, offering opportunities for fishing and kayaking in sheltered waters. Because the site is exposed to ocean elements, it remains a standard location for experienced campers who enjoy the sound of the surf and clear night skies.
