Poverty Creek Campground

Great place to stay, close to water, which would be good for kayaking and fishing, has showers and toilets, campfire pit and decent campsite, great drive to the site and then you can drive to working for the beach.

Nice place to camp bring your own shower and toilet because the one here aren't great. Can get busy on holiday but other times you can have the park to yourself.

Great place to camp nice big area. Facilities were clean and usable though cold water showers only. Make sure you take lots of bushmans the mozzies are out in force

Can't go wrong with this site, need a high clearance 4WD to get though the sand but it's a great spot for the semi experienced camper.Non powered sites, cold rainwater showers, 2 toilets and just some nicely spaced fire pits. Just as simple as you need it to be. Great spot for big groups as the sites are a good size.

If you are thinking of camping here, be prepared you will need a 4x4 with reasonable clearance as the sand is quite soft ( lower pressures to 20 psi) before you start, make sure you have Maxtrax, and a shovel ideally recovery points if bogged. Then pack the insect repellent tropical strength) the mozzies are every where. You need to be fully self sufficient while camping. The toilet is clean and the shower is cold and the mozzies make sure its a quick shower. Don't forget the permits there is camera monitoring of number plates, print out your permits and leave were the rangers can see, they monitor closely.

Fantastic camping spot - flat, grassy area. 4WD access only. Was great to see a good number of families there with their kids. Quick walk to the beach (landside). Must have beach & camping permits - Rangers patrol regularly. The area is respected by visitors & kept clean... take all rubbish with you. Fire pits available - BYO wood. Cold showers available - bore/brackish water. Toilets are fitted with a timed push-button light, stinky but relatively clean & surprisingly clear of creepy crawlies! Plenty of wildlife roaming - kangaroos, goannas, kookaburras, mozzies on steroids and sandflies; a quick spray of repellant kept them at bay.

We camped between Christmas and New years 2019. The campground is split into 2 sections. One is an open camping area without numbered sites suitable for camper trailers, and the other side has 14 numbered sites each with a car park which could accommodate 1-2 vehicles.We stayed on tent site #13 which seemed to have one of the larger spaces.The tent section despite being fully booked out was only around half full, where as the open camping area was very tightly packed. There were some huge groups that looked to be around 20+ people.Facilities are average quality with 2 cold, salt water showers with little more than a dribble. There are only 3 toilets which are a hybrid" system. They were reasonably clean but smelly. Unfortunately with such large numbers of people on site the toilets were often queued up for.Access to the beach area is great and you're able to walk around on the sand to some smaller more secluded mangrove sections.Swimming is possible but only when the tide is high. There's about a 30mt walk to where the water drops off which is knee to waist height.Fishing looked to be successful for most people giving it a go.Ocean beach is a nice day trip which took us around 40 minutes north through the inland sand track. Driving conditions are slow (speed limit is only 30 kph ?!?) and the sand can be really soft and heavy going through some sections. We didn't get stuck but if you happened to there would always be someone coming past soon enough to give you a hand.The rangers turned up every day at around 9am which is nice to see. We've stayed in almost every national park campground in SEQ and they've never been this consistent. We saw people get asked to leave due to not having bookings or vehicle passes. Good to see the rules were being enforced and these guys don't mess around. So do the right thing and get your bookings in order.Overall we were very happy with the site. The location is great but these days every bogan and his dog have a 4WD vehicle so it's not exactly a hidden gem.We'll be coming back but more likely to be in the lower season. Mozzies and Midgies galore around summer so expect to come home with few dozen bites."
