Punsand Bay Camping Resort

It is a great camping ground,


... popular with not only travellers,


... but also locals.



It is some 30km north of Bamaga, a great location to use as a base while exploring the area north of Bamaga and Seisia.

Open day and night,



... to check in for campers,



... and breaky and dinner in the restaurant.



On Sundays even open for lunch,



... which is very popular with locals.

The Beach of Punsand Bay Camping Resort

There is a walking track to the beach, 



... and the beach is beautiful.



To the east are the views towards the Tip,



... and to the west towards Peak Point.



The camping is right on the beach,



... and there are even beachfront cabins.




Nowadays there is even a crocodile statue,



... a beach volleyball net,



... and a tinny bar :-)



A great swimming pool,



... right behind the restaurant area,



... which is also easy to access from the camping ground.

Punsand Bay Camping Resort Restaurant

Outdoor seating ...

... and the Corrugation Bar.

Punsand Bay Camping Resort Food

There are meals such as steak and fish, burgers, salads and more. 




But best known are they for their wood fired pizzas,




... apptly named as Punsand, Cape Yorker, Diff Locker, Bush Chook (after a bird that's very common here), and Larry (after a creek on the way to Punsand).
