For the first four days of the show, the celebrities were split between two separate camps known as "Croc Creek" and "Snake Rock".

Croc Creek: Antony, Crissy, Fatima, Lorraine and Mark.<br /> Snake Rock: Dougie, Freddie, Jessica-Jane, Stefanie and Willie.
After their arrival in the jungle, Pat was sent to join Croc Creek, while Sinitta joined Snake Rock. The two camps merged in the early hours of Day 5, with the residents of Snake Rock relocating to the larger Croc Creek camp.
Emily joined the larger Croc Creek camp on Day 5.
