Reviews
Absolutely stunning campsite, our favourite spot on the whole costal track. camping right on the beach with Kaka flying all around us. Magical spot and would love to go back and camp a few nights there.

14 people per room- you get your own sleeping mat but you’re physically sleeping next to other people. Toilets. No shower. No power outlets for electronics

Well maintained campsite by the beach. Lot of sandflies, so come prepared. There were also a few wasps that kept bothering. Toilets are clean.

Bark Bay is pictures. The beach is perfect to sit on and watch the sun rise. Fabulous spot.
