Thinking of camping on Magnetic Island?
Unfortunately camping on Magnetic Island is very limited. There are:
• A few HipCamps are available
• Limited camping at Roamer Hostel in Horseshoe Bay so book early!
• If you have a self-contained van, you may want to put a notice onto one of the Magnetic Island Facebook pages to see if a resident has some extra space where you can pay to stay for a few nights.
Otherwise, please read the Camping On Magnetic Island PDF so that you are up to date with what you can do. The local council does not allow you to camp overnight on road verges, next to a road, in a car park, in a park or on a beach.
