Boreen Point Camping Ground

Sunshine Coast


On shallow Lake Cootharaba, this bucolic little camping ground dominated by large gum trees is usually crowd-free and provides your own secluded patch of lakefront, native bush. The closest major supermarket is in Tewantin, 20km away, so stock up on provisions before heading in; you will also need to bring your own water supply. Canoe rental available.
