Affected parks:

Please be advised, that the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service is upgrading all toilet facilities at all the campgrounds at Inskip Peninsula Recreation Area.

Visitors are advised that while these works are in progress:

- Heavy machinery will be in operation.

- Please stay safe and stay away from all machinery, closed or cordoned-off areas.

- For visitor safety, SS Dorrigo campground must be temporarily closed.

Agree Wazza

I was up there about 2 years ago and the place was packed
The line up was not good either with a pain in the belly and no where to go

it is surprising how far you will drive to find another toilet

I really think they need to put fire pits or fire rings at Inskip. Everybody builds a fire at a different spot and the place is just full of ash and chunks of burnt wood.

I recently went to Kennilworth and they had really good facilities.

Been campin for a long time and i think they need to update all parks and beaches regardless of where they are, and the finances well they can come from all the GST that the states get to spend on stuff rather than goin on trips oversees they should spend some time campin in some of the parks so they can see what they need then we should see some money come our way as far as campin facilities go, in the way of better service ETC !

Hi All
We stayed at Inskip last year and had the enviro loo from hell. Apparently something wasn't working right and boy did we know it. The only shower we could get by the way was to visit the surf beach at Rainbow and have a cold one there. Something needs to be upgraded alright. How about a shower block at inskip as well. If they can supply enviro dunnies from hell surely a cold shower wouldn't be too much to ask for. Upgrades are needed from Double island to Inskip as far as I am concerned.
We stayed at Double island beginning of FEB. We took a drive along beach and stopped at some of the campsites. I must say it was disgusting. You had to just about watch every step you took.
Upgrades to Toilet amenities is overdue and portable toilets should of been made compulsory for all campsites years ago.

Its a great place and what a shame the environment has to me been damaged in this way.

We now stay at the Wilderness lodge where there are hot and cold showers, clean toilets and clean maintained camping areas.

ronnie h u will find that only the toilits at fresh water are being up graded,but if you want a hot shower go up the track a little bit more to the camp grounds & you will be quite supprised at how clean the facilityies are, the only thing is its a bit of a walk to the beach & theres plent of mossies too.hopfully the council will put in a dump spot at the new toilits to + more large bins along the beach before the national parks service closes another camping spot. Sad
