Sunken Reef Bay

Sunken Reef Bay campsite (QPWS)

  • Camping
  • Seasonal — call ahead

Open camping area behind the fore dune, reached by a very steep 30-minute side track from the trail before Diamantina Creek. No facilities and no campfires; water from the creek at the northern end of the beach.

Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or booking sites but could not be checked on an official page. The camps on the Thorsborne Trail are run by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and booked as one Thorsborne Trail pass, not site by site. Most have composting toilets and pack racks; none has drinking water, so treat creek water. No campfires: cook on a fuel stove.
