Most have a stunning long white sandy beach within walking distance of your camp. Access to camp grounds is via gravel roads, accessible by conventional vehicles with care.

Sturt Bay is another great beachside campground that has a wide scope for fishing, swimming and snorkeling. It is known for being a fisher’s paradise as it offer good catches of salmon, mullet and King George whiting.

It is BYO water and firewood. There is limited shade but no mobile reception or facilities. Take note that the track is sandy and not suitable for large caravans and motorhomes.
