Minimal Impact Camping Guidelines

As an ecotourism operation, OzSail asks all guests participating in our Whitsunday Islands Camping option to adhere to guidlelines minimizing the impact our activities have on campsites.  This includes the following:

• The surrounding landscape, plants and animals should be left undisturbed.
• Use beach access walkways and camp only at designated campsites.
• Keep to walking tracks.  Don't create short cuts.
• Do no light fires on island national parks or beaches.
• Use gas or fuel stoves and lanterns.
• Use only chemical free soaps & detergents provided.
• Wash away from waterways and the foreshore area and scatter wash water when finished.
• Domestic animals are not permitted in the national park, on beaches or in the waters adjacent to marine parks
• Do not feed native animals.  Human food will harm them and feeding can lead to aggression.
• Firearms must not be taken onto national parks.
• Generators and diving compressors are not permitted in national parks.
• "Ship it in - ship it out".  Take all rubbish with you when you leave.
