My favourite spot to camp by the beach. Great beach for long walks. Sheltered camp sites. Easy drive to get supplies if required.
We had such a lovely time here over the Australia Day long weekend but now have discovered that some low life entered our camper while we were at the beach and stole our laptop that was hidden in a draw. This has left a very sour taste in our mouth. It is camping code to not enter other camp sites unless invited and you most certainly do not enter their tent/caravan/camper etc. If you were camping there over the long weekend and saw anyone acting suspiciously around a camper that was set up near the toilet facilities in the North Camp area or if you have found someone in your group stole our laptop we would like it returned.
We camped here for a week in Jan. All campsites are close to the beach and have their own picnic table and often bbq or firepit (however fire ban due to drought/bushfires). Toilets are longdrops and pretty smelly as compared to others i have experienced. No showers so either swim daily or BYO. Drinking water is provided at the road turn off to get into the park 2km from camp site so bringing some bottles etc is useful. Mostly level ish campsite ie no hillside but some so slope. There are a variety to choose from in shape, size and type for 2 person tents to large campervan/caravan setups. The beach is sandy and long with shallow surf although rough and choppy during our stay. Waves in 3 directions, dumping, lots of sand and seaweed in the water. Closer in to shore was great for kids but if you want to body surf or surf board there are better beaches. Still... I caught a few good waves. There are also lots of walks up and down the coast to do. Every headland has some kind of walk and most have towns on them you can stop and visit as well.
Very tidy camp grounds. Caretakers on site. Spacious sites. Some with beach views, most have shade. Fire pits on each site, gas bbq areas with seating and shelter. Drop toilets. 1.5k of dirt rd which is a bit rough but worth it to get t o such a beautiful spot
Do yourself a favour and make sure to come here during the off season. Waterfront camping, friendly and helpful staff, the clearest night sky we’ve seen in a while, and an overall very serene spot. It’s so beautiful!
