What a wonderful place to be. Even though the road to the campground is off-road, its completely worth it to travel approx 20 km unpaved gravel road. The campground is very close to the bay and there are several fishing spots.
Facilities in the campground are:
• 3 Toilets
• Rainwater is available for washing purpose
• Campground host is available for information and help
• Campsites are numbered.
• There are a total of 30 campsites, 10 of them are suitable for trailers and caravans, others are tents only.
• Firepit is available in the campground.
• Information board is available for the campground information and nearby places to visit and activities to do.
Things to note:
• 2WD access but should be taken carefully. May not be suitable when it's raining. Check the weather first.
• Fire Wood as wood may not be allowed to collect from the jungle.
• Bring enough water as the nearest shop Kiah General Store is approx 30 km far and the 20 km section is unpaved and rough as it is damaged by excavator's chain.
•There is no digital park entry fee payment system. Either you can pay online before arrival or you need to fill your details in the envelope provided in the box at the information centre, put the money in the envelope, seal the envelope and put it back in the box. So bring some cash.
• There is no mobile network available, at least Telstra I am aware of.
• Keep your food and garbage above the ground or wombats will steal your food at night and make your campground hell of a mess.
Activities one can do -
• The bay is shallow with low tide, safe to swim, kayaking and canoeing.
• There are several hiking tracks, hiking to Green Cape Lighthouse and return can be completed in 4-5 hour ( Some fitness required, Tracks are marked but may not be clear)
•Fishing can be done along the bay and around the campground as there are rocks everywhere near the bay.
• A perfect place for bird watching ( do not forget to bring your bino and camera) Beautiful Lyrebirds are everywhere near the campground.
If you want to escape the crowd and noise this is the perfect place to be. Take your time and enjoy nature as few days are not enough.
We travelled from Sydney and it was well worth it. Will come back again but this time at least for a week. The best camping we had so far.
