Camping and vehicle access in national parks, state forests and recreation areas

Conditions are in place in our national parks, state forests and recreation areas to support Queensland Health COVID-19 directives and keep visitors safe. These include:

• limits on the number of campsites to assist with social distancing
• limits on the number of people who are able to access amenities at any one time
• enhanced cleaning regimes
• requirements for mask wearing in certain circumstances
• keeping contact information for all persons making bookings for contact tracing purposes.

Visitors must not attend a campsite if they have been to a declared COVID-19 Hotspot in the previous 14 days, have been in contact with a known COVID-19 case, or have symptoms related to COVID-19.

We request those who are able to be self-contained do so to reduce the number of people using facilities.

Bookings are essential and can be managed via the following websites:

• Camping areas and vehicle access permits (all locations except Minjerribah and Mulgumpin)—book online via Queensland National Parks Booking Service
• Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island)—book via Minjerribah Camping
• Mulgumpin (Moreton Island)—book via Mulgumpin Camping.

Before visiting a national park

• Always check Park Alerts before leaving home for up-to-date information for a specific location.
• Always check the latest information and follow directions from Queensland Health regarding COVID-19.
• Only visit open sites where there are car spaces available in the car park, follow social distancing measures and adhere to public gathering numbers.
• Please exercise appropriate hygiene with regard to washing hands with soap, use of sanitisers, and leave no trace behind when you depart.
• Note that local closures or restricted access to facilities may apply to some areas for management purposes—check the specific location at park alerts.
• Do not attempt to visit any closed areas, unless authorised, for your own safety and protection, and that of your community.
