For over two decades, millions of British viewers have been captivated by the trials and tribulations of celebrities in the jungle. But as I'm A Celebrity 2025 continues to be a ratings triumph for ITV, a burning question remains for many fans: where exactly is this iconic show filmed?
The Real Location of the I'm A Celebrity Jungle
The answer lies in Australia, where presenters Ant and Dec have been travelling since 2002. The production is based at Dungay Creek in Springbrook National Park, situated approximately an hour outside of Brisbane in New South Wales.
This has been the programme's home for most of its 23-year run, having moved there after the very first series was filmed in a different part of Queensland. The show's commitment to this location is so strong that the only deviation occurred during the Covid pandemic, when travel restrictions forced a temporary relocation to Wales.
While the general public cannot visit the exact camp, a nearby campsite called The Settlement offers a similar atmosphere for those wanting to experience the environment firsthand.
How Real is the I'm A Celebrity Camp?
Contrary to what some might suspect, the jungle is very much real. The celebrities are genuinely living outdoors in a authentic national park, though it is technically classified as a rainforest rather than a deep jungle.
However, several key adaptations are made for television and the contestants' safety. The ITV production team installs the entire camp infrastructure, including beds, the infamous dunny (toilet), and showers. One of the most significant additions is a large canopy that acts as a roof over the main camp area.
This canopy serves a dual purpose: it protects against the heavy seasonal downpours that could disrupt filming, and it safeguards the extensive electrical equipment and cameras required to broadcast the show. Despite these studio-like elements, the stars are undoubtedly experiencing a rugged, outdoor lifestyle far removed from their usual luxuries.
The 2025 series, featuring campmates like Kelly Brook, Aitch, Angry Ginge, and Lisa Riley, continues this long-standing tradition. They trade their comfortable lives for hammocks, log seats around a campfire, and the shared challenges of camp life for a minimum of two weeks before eliminations begin.
