Bookings
Bookings are open for stays up to 30 June 2026.
If there is no availability showing online for your dates, the campsite is fully booked. No sites are held for campers turning up on the day without a booking. You can book on the same day until 8 pm, if spaces are available.
Bookings are required all year.
A $10 service fee applies to phone and in-person booking. This is a limited service – book online first. An in-person booking is dependent on there being space available.
Your hut booking is for any bunk bed, not for a specific bunk bed – select your bunk bed on arrival.
