The Trousers Point campground is around 16 km from Whitemark. From Whitemark, travel south on B85, then turn into road C806 to Trousers Point. The campground is 100 metres past the picnic area.

About

​Camping is available within Strzelecki National Park at the southern end of Trousers Point. This is a delightfully situated site, with a crescent of white sandy beac​​h, clear turquoise waters, and mountainous backdrop.

The beach is sheltered, and great for swimming or snorkelling, and there are a number of pleasant coastal walks nearby.

The site offers basic facilities, including a toilet, rainwater tank, one fireplace area, picnic tables, open areas for tents, information board and rubbish bins. There is also a free gas barbeque at the picnic area.​

Flinders Island can be reached either by plane or sea. Sharp Airlines fly from Melbourne (1 hour) or from Launceston (35 mins), and there is a shuttle service from the airport to Whitemark, where you can hire a car, camper van or bicycle to get around the island. 

Alternatively, there is a weekly barge with Furneaux Freight from Bridport, which allows you to bring your own car across.

To reach the Strzelecki National Park from Whitemark, travel south along the B85 then turn off along the C806.​

​

​Where possible, please avoid driving in our reserves at night. You are sharing the roads with our native wildlife, so take it slow and watch out for animals on the road.

​Campers should bring their own firewood and drinking water.

​It is recommended to organise a hire vehicle before you arrive as there is no public transport on the island.

Telstra is the only network that provides mobile phone coverage on the island, although even this can be patchy. There are known blackspots at Pigs Head Point (near Trousers Point). There are public telephones available at Whitemark, Lady Barron, Killiecrankie and the Whitemark Airport.
