The Pamphlett-Tennyson Sea Scout camp ground is a fully grassed, tree-shaded riverside site in Tennyson, Brisbane, built for group camping and outdoor activity. It accommodates up to 100 people, and its budget-friendly rates help schools, scout and guide groups, and families keep costs down. Groups can set up tents on open lawn inside a low log barrier, which creates a contained, safe zone for children to camp and play. The main den provides indoor floor space for mattresses, along with a TV, whiteboard and projector screen for briefings or presentations. A kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, stove, toaster and jug supports self-catered stays, and hot showers are on site. Evenings centre on the camp fire circle for cooking and sing-alongs. Pontoon and jetty access, plus canoe and kayak hire, make the site well suited to water-based programs. Archery and special functions can also be accommodated.
