About The Wrecks Camping Area
The Wrecks camping area is located on the western side of Moreton Island within the Cape Moreton 4025 region. This site features 21 defined campsites situated behind the beach dunes, providing protection from coastal winds. It is a designated walk-in camping zone, meaning vehicles are parked in a separate area, making it accessible for those arriving via the passenger ferry. Facilities include hybrid toilets, cold showers, and seasonal water taps, though visitors should provide their own drinking water.
The proximity to the Tangalooma Wrecks makes this location a primary choice for visitors interested in aquatic activities. These sunken vessels create a man-made reef that supports a wide variety of marine life, visible from the shore. The site is a short distance from the Tangalooma Island Resort, allowing campers to access local services while maintaining a remote outdoor experience. Permits are required for all stays, and sites must be booked in advance through the Queensland National Parks service.
