Beach Camping at Crystal Creek

Get away from it all, soak up the sun and set your mind free



Setting up camp under the shade of the Sheoaks

Get your feet wet  (but not in stinger season, and never smile at a crocodile)


Getting There

Head north from Townsville,
about an hour along the Bruce Highway
turn right at Crystal Creek Caravan Park
follow the dirt road past cane farms
and through bushland
until you get to Crystal Creek boat ramp
then the track veers off to the left
and runs parallel to the beach
keep going past the beach huts 
then take your pick of camping spots
anywhere along the beach.







Four wheel driving on the beach
will take you all the way along 
to Insulator Creek.

............Keep an eye on the tide...........




from Hermit Crabs 

to Mud Crabs


The Muddies taste amazing 
cooked on the camp fire coals. 

Best Breakfast Ever!





Hunting and gathering




The one rule of beach camping is...

Never return empty handed!
Kicking back on the camp chair, looking up to the canopy.
Some days you can spot a goanna moving through the scrub and heading up a tree.
