Camping on Broughton Island is truly special and with only 5 campsites available, it offers a genuine getaway experience.

Located in Myall Lakes National Park, you'll be camping amongst an active seabird colony- it's a key breeding site for wedge-tailed shearwaters, sometimes known as muttonbirds.

At just over 1 square kilometre in size, the island is small but there are plenty of opportunities for water activities like swimming, fishing, boating, snorkelling and scuba diving.

Access to the campground is by boat, and you'll need to arrive on the south-eastern side of the island, at the sandy beaches of Esmeralda Cove.

The campground is fairly basic, so you'll need to bring all your equipment and supplies with you, including water. You must book and pre-pay for a campsite prior to arriving at the island.
