Booking
Book ahead

A small camp at the end of the road in Port Puponga, with large sites among established gardens, solar-powered cabins, an ensuite cabin and a self-contained apartment. It runs on rainwater and has no rubbish collection, so you pack your waste out. The night sky here is excellent and the Farewell Spit eco-tours pick up from the gate.

Good to know

  • Arrive with an empty waste tank, the nearest dump station is in Collingwood
  • Fill your water tank before arriving, the camp only has filtered rainwater
  • Take your rubbish with you when you leave
Open
Early November to April
