I'm looking for a
campsite no more than 2-3 hours away from
Brisbane where you can have a
camp fire, there are
toilets (and maybe a shower - but could do without one) - preferrably by the water (beach or otherwise) but this is also not a priority.

Rover park,
4wding, general camping, showers and
toilets at both.

have been to Levuka a few times and find it quite pleasant
hot showers and flushing
toilets with bush-style camping and
camp fires
also some 4wd tracks on the property of varying degrees

Yeah Moreton is the pick EXCEPT now you need to book the site , book the Micat , no fuel any more ect ect and its not realy viable $$$ wise for a long w/end , Vehicle + trailer ,
camp fees ect not much change out of $500 or so....

The Moreton prices are out of control compared to five years ago. It is an awesome island, but it is now heaps cheaper to go to straddy or even drive all the way to Fraser.
What do people do for fuel that live over there now?

Poverty Piont,
Bribie Island. Next to water (Pumistone Passage),
toilets, fireplaces, close enough to civilisation but far enough away to be out of it. Just over an hour to Brissy.
Alternatively the top of the main beach on Bribie where you can get a site close to the
toilets. Access is at low tide only right now as the inland track is closed due to flooding - or it was last weekend. Not sure about fires at this one
Lookup the EPA web site for details

Beach permit is $32.50 for a week, the $100 is actually $110 and is for 12 months.
Only giving my opinion of some camps close to Brissy close to the water. I live on Bribie and find that these camps are very popular during holidays so there are a lot of punters that are not put off by the fees.
You had no comment on the fortune it costs to get and
camp on Moreton, Bribie is cheap compared to Moreton - but not as nice.

Stevesub , read my reply re Moreton above ,, ok so now $110 for yearly Permit [ last one I bought cost $100 in 07 ] either way be it monthly or yearly permit you still have to pay nat park
camp fees on top ,, NO FIRES at all on eastern beach and fire pits at poverty point are in the bollard - tent area only ,, got a c/t or roof topper = NO fire in your own
campsite ....

If you like dogs patrolling your
campground in muzzles. Forget GVC and go the GordonCounty.
