Looking for a campground near the beach?
Just a short walk from the beach where the rolling waves provide ideal conditions for surfing or a spot of beach fishing is the Waitpinga campground. Sheltered from the winds, you can camp among the mallee or open areas protected by shrubs in one of the 15 unpowered sites. Most sites are a short walk to your vehicle. Toilets and a large communal gas barbecue area are provided.
The park protects two long beaches, Waitpinga and Parsons, as well as rocky headlands and surrounding coastal vegetation.
