Tancred Island Camping Area

Tancred Island Camping Area is a very private, secluded campsite in the Whitsundays, with Shute Harbour hidden from view by Repair Island. The area is accessible by small boat, though visitors should take care navigating the fringing reefs at mid to low tide.

Boats can be pulled up onto the beach, anchored offshore, or visitors can arrange a drop-off via a commercial boat operator. The site has no facilities, so campers must be entirely self-sufficient.

Only one group of up to six people is permitted at a time, keeping the experience quiet and uncrowded. Despite its simplicity, the location is regarded as a wonderfully peaceful place to camp.
