Firepit/ Campfire
As daylight fades, come together at our fire pit in the early evening, enjoying a drink while soaking in the enchanting sunset vistas. With two fire pits available on the island, you have the option to select your preferred setting, and our caretakers are on hand to arrange a drinks and snack station at your chosen spot for an unforgettable evening experience.
Sunset
Don't miss the breathtaking sunset views at Sunset Beach, located on the west side of the island. Known for its romantic ambiance, it's no wonder we've witnessed three proposals here at Camp Island Lodge. Truly, the sunset here is an experience not to be missed.
Walking trails through National Park
Explore the island's natural beauty through a network of walking tracks, where you might chance upon wallabies, echidnas, sea eagles, or Torres Strait pigeons. Take a leisurely stroll around the bay and discover washed up shells amongst the coral. Sturdy closed-in shoes are recommended for your comfort and safety.
Wellness & Relaxation
Indulge in moments of relaxation by sitting with a book or swaying gently in a hammock, soaking in the serenity of the Whitsundays. Keep an eye out for passing whales during their annual migration and turtles feeding off the reef right in front of the bungalows.
Enjoy complimentary yoga mats and pillows with ample spots around the island to set up your yoga station amidst natural surroundings.
By far my favourite island on the east coast and that is before we even start talking about the endless fishing possibilities.
