Freshwater Campground
Last Updated Mar 2014 | Originally suggested by tojo45
4wd only camping, amongst the scribbly gums, about 500m from the beach.
There are 59 separate sites, which are all pretty level and most have some shade, as well as a bit of protection from coastal winds. Probably the preffered site when weather is not great.
Tends not to get quite as busy as other sites closer to the beach. A track leads down (about 500m) to the beach.
There are hot showers here ($1 coin fed), rubbish bins and gas barbecues. There is also a dump point in the Freshwater day use area.
No fires are permitted here, so you should bring a fuel stove, or use the provided gas barbecue.
Luckily you won't have to put up with the sound of your neighbouring campsite running a generator, as these are also prohibited.
