Cape Palmerston National Park will reopen tomorrow 6 October 2025 at 7:00am. Any camping bookings will also be reactivated at this time.
The national park was closed when a bushfire entered the Ilbilbie section on Friday 3 October 2025.
The fire was contained thanks to the collaborative efforts of Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), Rural Fire Service Queensland (RFSQ) and private landholders.
QPWS rangers will continue to patrol the park to ensure public safety. It is important to stay alert, follow any directions from rangers and never enter closed areas.
If you are planning to visit a national park or state forest this bushfire risk period, stay up to date with park, fire and weather conditions by visiting park alerts.
