Camping in Inskip

Beach she-oaks, cypress pine and other coastal trees and shrubs shade Inskip Peninsula’s camping areas, which are ringed by open ocean beaches and sheltered estuary shores—all within 15 minutes drive of Rainbow Beach.

Wind and water conditions generally become calmer in areas where the peninsula curves westward towards Great Sandy Strait.
