The

campsite offers unpowered camping sites only. Some campsites offer direct
views of the
Point Quobba beach and others nestled between the dunes. Camping is not permitted near the
shacks. You must bring your own water, food, and general supplies.
Toilets,
bins and
dump point have been removed by council however so too have fees - this is now a free
campground.
Blowholes are suitable for those who are self-sufficient, including chemical
toilets.
Toilets are only available for day visitors due to the vast distance between
toilets and campsites. Pets are permitted on the condition they remain on a lead at all times. The Shire of
Carnarvon will not be responsible for any injuries to your pet during your stay. Please note the Shire does not use1080 baits in
the Blowholes Campground area. However, it may be used on surrounding stations and birds/other wildlife have been known to move baits. Keep an eye on your pets at all times and ensure they remain on a lead.
Carnarvon Shire Rangers regularly visit the campsites to ensure compliance by campers and visitors.Facilities include a
boat ramp and walks. Vehicles are not permitted on
the beach, except for the purpose of boat launching.Just one kilometre south of
the Blowholes is a calm coral-filled lagoon known to the locals as the 'Aquarium', with fish and shells in abundance and a white
sandy beach, making it a perfect hangout spot for the family or even a beach picnic.
The lagoon is an ideal spot for snorkelling, especially for those least confident in the water.
The Blowholes at
Point Quobba come in all sizes. Some produce jets of water and others a blast of spray. Some are only a metre or so high but if conditions are right the bigger openings can produce a blast reaching heights of up to 20 metres - a truly awesome spectacle.
The Blowholes perform best when the tide is surging in for high tide, high tide isn't the best time as the water covers the narrow holes in the rocks, where the jets of water erupt from.
