Cockatoo Island Camping

The campsite is Sydney’s only central camping ground and is located on the island’s waterfront, just eight minutes by river cat from Circular Quay in the centre of Sydney.

Cockatoo Island Camping is a world first - a waterfront campsite in the midst of a city. Cockatoo Island Camping is a campsite on a national heritage-listed island in the middle of the world's most beautiful harbour.

Enjoy a barbecue as the sun sets over the water. Sleep under the shadows of dormant cranes and chimneys. Watch the sunrise over the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

A camping experience like no other.

All sites have harbour views. A new campground kitchen and amenities block have been provided for guests’ enjoyment.
