Tucked into sleepy Bulwer, Castaways pairs low-key Moreton Island beach camping with private ensuites, real beds, and hot showers. Regulars skip the resort crowds to base themselves here, steps from uncrowded sand and the sunken wrecks. The canvas setups come equipped with sheltered verandas and dedicated camp kitchen storage, making extended off-grid stays effortless. Right next door, the integrated general store doubles as the settlement's supply lifeline—dishing up morning flat whites, fresh burgers, and cold pints alongside recovery gear and snorkel kit. Days wind down over communal fire pits under clear island skies.

Is there a store and cafe on the property?
Yes, the on-site store stocks grocery essentials, cold drinks, alcohol, sunscreen, fishing and snorkelling gear, and 4WD recovery equipment. You can also purchase freshly prepared cafe meals, coffee, and fuel.
Are power points and Wi-Fi available in the accommodation?
Power points are situated on the verandah rather than inside the glamping rooms, and mobile or Wi-Fi reception can be limited across the property.
