Great place, great fishing and crabbing. you can , last time I was there, free camp at plumtree, which is right across the road from the pub and shop. Sandflies are a pest, but the scenery is spectacular. There is track, just out of town to the top of a hill , and you can see forever. Islands are in every direction. The tides are huge, and you can hire reasonable boats from the shop.Big jewfish(and sharks) out in the channel on whole squid.50 miles of dirt road, with the country similar to the Gulf or NT.Lovely spot. Stanage bay is about 150miles nth of Rockhampton, QLD.Bill

Hi all, thanks for the response that I have got from you all so far. Once again I have some questions has anyone on here camped at Stanage Bay. We are planning on going there but have had conflicting reports about it. Would like to now from someone that has been there. Second question has anyone travelled with a tent and 4x4. We have been camping for a fortnight here and there but we are planning on spending at least 4 months this time. We do have a pretty good set up though. Looking forward to your comments
Stanage Bay is on the coast from Marlborough in Queensland. We wont be there till about the middle of May so hopefully it will have dried out by then. In regards to the comment about not camping too close to the water is the big lizards there.
Lovely place... we stayed there for about a week. fishing was off but it was well worth the effort to get there. As others have said though, check the road conditions before you decide to go in.
