Whitsunday Island Camping

Camping on the Whitsunday Islands with OzSail

Whitsunday Islands Camping has never been easier or more enjoyable! Enjoy the peace and tranquility of sleeping under the stars at a secluded beach in the Whitsunday Islands. With a maximum of 2 guests per tent, this is a great option for couples looking for some privacy, guests who are nervous about getting seasick, or people just looking to experience nature at it’s best!

OzSail is one of the few operators in the Whitsunday Islands to offer Whitsunday Islands Camping to guests. It is a seasonable option offered from April – November and is available on the following vessels:

  • Avatar – maximum 4 campers
  • Matador – maximum 10 campers

Gear supplied by OzSail:

  • 4 Man Tents (240 × 220 × 190 cm centre height) with a maximum of 2 people per tent.
  • Blow Up Double Mattresses (hand pump supplied)
  • Sheets/Sleeping Bags/Pillows
  • Torch
  • Additional Info:
  • Campsites will be set up each evening when we arrive at site (Guests will be asked to assemble/disassemble their own tents with the assistance of crew). Guests will then come back to the vessel, have dinner and a certain amount of time to socialize with fellow guests on board before going back to the campsite. Our tender (dinghy) will stay with the vessel overnight so once at the campsite, campers will not be able to return to the boat until the next morning.
  • A member of crew will stay on land with guests at all times
  • All campsites used will have toilet facilities
  • No camp fires are allowed
  • An eskie will go over to the campsite with campers.
  • This is an ecofriendly option. Guests will be briefed on and asked to adhere to Minimal Impact Camping Guidelines.
  • Our Camp Ashore Option is a seasonable option. OzSail reserves the right to cancel this option if weather conditions are not favourable.
