A smaller, quieter tent-only campground wrapping around a calm, protected inlet that makes it the premier spot on the island for mooring private boats. Features 29 campsites directly on or close to the water's edge, supported by a narrow public pontoon, toilets, hot showers, and a sheltered picnic area. There is no ranger station or kiosk here; all campers must check-in and pay in advance at the South Currigee site office 1 km away. Bring your own drinking water.

Once a private commercial resort, the site was acquired by the local government and is now managed by the City of Gold Coast as a premium conservation campground.
