Barratta Creek Camping Area sits within the Bowling Green Bay section of Bowling Green Bay National Park, managed by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.

Nestled in a mangrove and creek environment, the area accommodates tent campers alongside their 4WD vehicles. There are no facilities on site, mobile phone coverage is poor, and the area is susceptible to tidal influences at high tides.

Estuarine crocodiles inhabit the waterways here — visitors must obey all crocodile warning signs.

Campfires are permitted but must be contained in above-ground fire containers; campers must bring their own clean firewood and remove their fire container on departure. Insect repellent is strongly recommended.

Pets are not permitted, in keeping with national park wildlife protection rules.
