Punsand Bay is a bush campground located in a remote area which means we are off-grid, with lots of ‘behind the scenes’ work coming together to provide the creature comforts for our guests and visitors. Our team is busy in the background collecting our own water, sorting recycling and rubbish but most importantly providing power throughout our facilities from our generator system.
Since 2013 Punsand Bay has become so much more than just a campground and we are committed to providing our guests with a unique and once in a lifetime experience. We look forward to welcoming you to Punsand Bay on the Cape York Peninsula.
