Adder Rock Campground

Adder Rock Campground is the smart, wind-proof choice for families who want the North Stradbroke Island vibe without the sand-blasted chaos of the exposed foreshore. Nestled in a pocket of native tea tree and pandanus forests at Point Lookout, this sheltered campground provides critical protection from the elements—a game-changer when the island winds pick up. Unlike the remote beach zones, Adder Rock is fully 2WD accessible via sealed road, offering clearly defined powered and unpowered sites (approx. 6m x 6m) suitable for tents, camper trailers, and caravans. It strikes the perfect balance between nature and comfort with “holiday park” style amenities, including hot showers (timer-operated), flushing toilets, coin-operated laundry, and undercover electric BBQ areas. You are perfectly positioned for action here: take a short walk to the patrolled Adder Rock surf beach for a safe swim with the kids, or wander over to Home Beach for a quieter dip. The campground sits right next to the Manta Lodge Scuba Centre and is an easy stroll to the Point Lookout Bowls Club for a schnitzel when you can’t be bothered cooking. While strict “no fire” and “no pet” rules apply to preserve the peace, the trade-off is a clean, stress-free base camp that keeps the sand out of your sleeping bag and the family happy.
