Site 5 - Starvation Bay (19m x 8m)
About this space
19m x 8m, firm ground, minimal shade, large site that can cater for additional accommodation vehicle if required (charges apply). Suitable for all vehicles including larger motorhomes and if reliant on solar panels.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The family and pet friendly campgrounds can be especially busy over Christmas and January with local Vacation Swim Lessons held in the bay commencing the first week of January. Under new strict Education guidelines to enable swim lessons at Starvation Bay, there will be some additional restrictions in place during the hours that swimming lessons are in progress. This will include the temporary closure of the boat launch facility and eastern beach vehicle access from approximately 7.30am - 12:30pm daily. Signs will be in place when closure is in effect and should the lessons not occur or finish early, the signs and barriers will be removed to indicate that access has re-opened. Boat users will need to be in the water prior to the closure and able to return after 12:30pm or if signs have been removed earlier.
Due to irreparable damage to a number of our fire pits, some have had to be removed and we cannot guarantee that a fire pit will be provided on arrival (even if depicted in any images). We recognise that this is one of the attractions of camping and the Shire is currently investigating and budgeting for a replacement program.
