About
With 15 camp sites to choose from over 6 different islands, no two island glamping getaways will ever be the same! We have created the Island Glamping Package so that you can camp out in comfort and style whilst you experience the beauty the Whitsunday Islands have to offer.
Camping on the Whitsunday Islands promises breathtaking mountain views and stunning azure-coloured water. Glamping makes for the perfect activity to relax and unwind in style, with all the comforts of a hotel out in nature.
This is a gear hire self-setup package that you will set up yourself at your chosen campsite. We will provide you with instructions on setting up the bell tent – don’t worry, it is really and straightforward and takes 1 person just 10 minutes to set up.
Everything is included in the package that you need for a carefree island getaway. We suggest using Whitsunday Islands Camping Connections for the boat transfer over to your chosen island camp spot. This can be booked online at Whitsunday Island Camping Transfers.
We will meet you by your departure vessel with your glamping package or drop it off to you at your accommodation, whichever works best for you.

Adventure Tips
Prepare for a self-setup experience
Although the glamping package comes with setup instructions, be ready to pitch your bell tent yourself; it takes about 10 minutes and one person to finish.
Bring ample food and drinks
Your package includes cooking gear but not food or beverages, so pack enough provisions to cover your stay plus some extra ice for the esky.
Book boat transfers in advance
Plan and reserve water transport ahead using Whitsunday Islands Camping Connections to reach your chosen campsite smoothly.
Protect yourself from insects
The package provides bug spray and citronella coils, but bring additional insect repellent if you're sensitive to bites, especially at dusk and dawn.
