Information

This site is one of many designated camping areas in Dirk Hartog Island National Park. Online bookings required. No fires. A hut can be used for shelter and there is a toilet.

Whilst a popular site for groups of people camping together on a fishing trip (excellent shore fishing), this is also a good site for non-fishing people. The site is almost water level, set back about 20m from the water's edge on a slight rise. The water frontage features a spectacular rockshelf, which creates breaking surf waves and rockpools. You can setup camp on firm sandy sites if you don't wish to use the hut.

We visited here on a day trip driving around the island but didn't camp. This is an excellent location to use as a base camp or just enjoy the site. I had expected a more exposed area on a steep cliff edge but this is not so - as per photos the site is almost sea-level and is very beautiful.
