Pelican Bay is a campground in Inskip Peninsula Recreation Area, reservable through Queensland Parks. Pelican Bay is located off Bullock Point Road, just north of the Inskip Point Road turn off. A small, open camping area is located behind the foredunes and on the beachfront, with no formally defined sites. Camp sites are suitable for tent camping beside a 4WD vehicle, off-road campervans and camper trailers. Coastal trees provide dappled shade in some areas, and camp site surface is sand. Some camp sites offer views across Pelican Bay towards Inskip Peninsula. Other camp sites, a little further inland, provide shelter from the sun and prevailing winds. The beach is a short walk away. Access is 4WD only, suits small groups. A portable toilet is mandatory to camp at Pelican Bay. There are no rubbish bins or toilet facilities provided in this camping area, mobile phone coverage is intermittent. It lists 1 bookable site across Multi-use Site. Recent rates read around $15.50 a night for the stays checked. Popular dates here go early: the busiest holiday and long-weekend nights are often fully reserved well before the trip, and once a date fills the reservation system simply shows no availability for it at all. After that point the usual way to get a site is a cancellation. When a booked party changes plans their site is released back into the system and briefly becomes available again, frequently at an awkward hour and often taken within minutes by whoever happens to be looking. grabio watches Pelican Bay on a fixed one-minute schedule and compares what is bookable now against the previous check. The moment a site matching your dates opens, whether from a cancellation or from newly released inventory, it alerts you so you can book it yourself on the official Queensland Parks system. It never books, holds, or reserves anything on your behalf; it only tells you the instant a spot appears, so you are not left refreshing a booking page by hand late at night. Alerts go out by email by default, with optional Telegram and text messages, and a watcher can cover an exact set of dates or a flexible window, so you only hear about openings that fit the trip you are actually planning. Because grabio only ever reads the public reservation system, it sees exactly what Queensland Parks shows, and it keeps watching until a matching site opens or your dates pass. Nightly fees, site restrictions, vehicle and equipment limits, and the current booking window are set by Queensland Parks and shown on the official page for Pelican Bay.
