Cylinder Beach
Pitch your tent at this North Stradbroke spot.
Overview
For proximity to Brisbane and stunning scenery, make North Stradbroke Island your next camping spot. There are a stack of beachside campsites and among the best is Cylinder. Pack your board — there are waves.
When you're done with ruling the surf, go koala spotting, stroll along North Gorge walk or play pool with watery panoramas at the Beach Hotel. Facilities are pretty posh — you can count on showers, toilets, barbecues, picnic tables and nearby cafes and restaurants. Book before you go.
