Keppel Bay Islands National Park

Keppel Bay Islands National Park are a group of continental islands with open grassland and heath vegetation, tall forests, sandy beaches, sheltered bays, rocky headlands, clear waters and fringing coral reefs. The two largest islands, Great Keppel and North Keppel are surrounded by 16 smaller islands and several prominent rocky outcrops. Keppel Bay Islands National Park includes only 15 islands (Great Keppel Island is not part of the national park). Steep hills and cliffs, which plunge into the sea, are features of the islands but there are also sheltered bays and quiet sandy beaches. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park surrounds the Keppel Bay islands. Together they form part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, the world's largest reef and island system. It is of exceptional beauty and biological diversity, protecting many endangered animals and plants.

Camping is allowed on Humpy Island, Middle Island, Miall Island, Conical Island, Divided Island and Pelican Island. North Keppel Island
