Swan Lake Campground – Discovery Bay Coastal Park (CG)

The camping area is located in a coastal dune setting adjacent to a licensed dune buggy club area (dune buggies can create a reasonable amount of noise which may offend some visitors).

Discovery Bay offers a range of coastal environments with spectacular scenic values, including rugged cliffs, extensive beaches, mobile dune fields, wetlands and woodland forest communities.

This remote coastal park protects 55km of ocean beach. Inland, the park encompasses high coastal cliffs, huge rolling sand dunes and freshwater lakes and swamps. Coastal vegetation and wildlife thrive.
