This campground is an amazing spot to set up at. We camped here for 3 days 2 nights and had so much fun! You can access all of the South Molle walking trails and hike across to Mid Molle at low tide. The toilet is clean and had toilet paper supplied, there are undercover picnic benches too. You can view Daydream and Conway from one side of the camping grounds and Whitsunday Island and the old South Molle resort from the other side. We were super comfy with our glamping tent we rented from Bell Tents Whitsundays. Would definitely stay here again!

Camped for three days here and it was spectacular - majority of the time we were the only ones. Very basic long drop, but a selection of tables and two which are undercover. Do yourself a favour and do all the walks on the island - eg Mt Jeffrey and Balancing Rock Check out more at: @ultimateaussiebucketlist (insta, FB, web)

Very nice campsite. There is also nice snorkeling on the east side of the point. You can also walk over to Mid Molle during low tide. There is also a hiking track up to a lookout point and the highest peak of the island
