Lady Musgrave Island Camping
Have you ever…
…. woken up in the middle of the night because a Green Sea turtle has decided that the best place to lay its eggs is underneath your tent? Have you ever seen the sun rise and set over the ocean, in the same day, from the same place? Have you ever snorkelled pristine reef mere meters from your campsite?
This is all possible while camping on Lady Musgrave Island, and only a few of the many reasons why camping here is so special!
We can take you there
Our team at 1770 Reef know that camping on Lady Musgrave Island is amazing and the most rewarding camping experience possible. However, we must stress that camping on Lady Musgrave Island is all about preparation and understanding the environment. To get the most out of your experience it is imperative that you are well prepared for all types of situations.
Bare Necessities
Lady Musgrave Island is a pristine environment. You will not find any shops, hotels, resorts or swimming pools on this island. The only sign of human interference is a lightly marked out camping area. The camping ground only offers a composting toilet facility and an emergency radio tower. There is no phone reception nor a fresh water supply.
Self-Sufficient
Campers must be fully self-sufficient. All equipment, food and water must be brought to the island with you. Packing extra supplies is necessary in the event that your return transfer is delayed. The island is located 59km from the Town of 1770 and only accessible by boat. We can offer camping transfers to and from the island.
