    Easy drive in access 20mins via a 2wd dirt road well sign posted with google maps, just a few slow points for minor pot holes. You don't need a 4wd unless its is currently heavy rain and then seek a glaming option.There had been significant rain in the previous days which meant everything was well cleaned down/green and no dust. Camp areas are clearly marked out and tightly fenced, not really spacious and too close to each other (assume this is to keep campers restrained in a small area). But given the loud music played late into the night by others (Army guys) really didn't get the peace and quiet. Fireplace provided was easy enough to use, bring your own wood. Drop Toilets were nearby/clean enough and given it was a few days after Easter needed a pump out, but otherwise were straightforward and I suggest you don't camp too near them for the smell. Bring your own water and take your rubbish away. The National Park itself is 5 stars with a great variety of wildlife, trees. Beaches. Cliffs. Rocky headlands, Vistas out to sea, walks etc. I bravely/stupidly walked around the rocky shore line between Honeysuckle Beach back to the camp site which took an hour and fell in the water at one point. Do this walk only at low tide given your a determined rock scrambler. Really a largely minimal disturbance to the original land flora/funa etc. Well done Bob Carr for converting so much state forests like this now with National Park protection. Its much the same wild as 40 years ago in the 1970s. Pay the $8 vehicle day pass and $6 booking fee for camping (online) its a very minor charge for quality you can't miss. I Would suggest a quieter time of year than late April. We were very cold, bring lots of blankets etc For the night. A very nice Ranger who was working on a access track nearby jump started my car in the morning, thankyou your a gentleman! given our little over sight take a jump start 2nd battery and don't use it to pump up your air mattresses like us ...(use the car battery with engine running). saw many wallaby, kangaroos, crabs. Sea eagles, gonna, insects etc..possums were straight there at dusk so food is better locked into your boot at night.

    Access to this campground is via a rough dirt road, suitable for a 4WD/AWD, although a 2WD will make it fine if taken slow. There are a total of 10 unpowered sites to choose from, each separated from each other with fencing and coastal vegetation. Booking is required among all National Park camping sites. Sites are big enough for a small camper trailer, though not big enough for a caravan. Explore North Head beach, a short stroll from the camping area or walk the Honeysuckle Bay walking track. Within North Head beach are unique rock formations, aswell as a blowhole.

    Camped here by the Sea, loads of exploring along the rocks and the beach. There was a tree fall across the road during the storm, and the rangers took are of it, pretty quickly. We'll be back.

    Good bush camp quite basic with just toilets and not many flat sites but with great beaches and views for those who love the bush it is great.

    Campsites are quite large. Easy walk down to the beach, though ocean isn't visible from the sites themselves. Lots of wildlife, wich is a plus for me but maybe not for everyone. Bathroom facilities are really simple, but they were clean and functional. The road there can be a little bit rough.

    Arriving late evening (630pm) we weren’t even there 2 hrs the possums drove us out. Climbed into our car from rear doors, Went over obstacles including a cargo barrier and ate my CHOCOLATE, aswell as climbing up our roofie ladder, cooking equipment etc… we are regular campers and love the wildlife and outdoors but these possums were far too invasive. The growls and big rustle in the bushes from these weight lifting protein eating possums also gave me goosebumps, after telling my partner we’re leaving we had a far better sleep in a close motel. We are sad we didn’t get to see much of the area as it seemed so lovely from other reviews.

    Nice walk and close to beach The campground area to close to each other with vents around the campground to protect the national park. Everything is good until your next neighbour decided to play excessive loud music, inconsiderate with the natural environment and others people.

    Great area to walk and camp. Close to the beach with a spectacular rocky coastline. Native wildlife frequent the area.

    Nice little camp ground next to the beach. Generous sites, each have their own fire pit. Drop toilets are about it for amenities. Plenty of leaches so watch out! Book ahead with National Parks to secure a spot ($6 booking fee). Lots of campers that hadn't booked whilst we were there which was problematic.

    Loved it! Peaceful. Mild weather even in winter and with gale and storm warnings. Well laid out campsites include fire pit, BYO wood. Take LOTS of water because there really is NONE. Conservation area, so no souveniring. Great beaches and walking tracks. Nearby (walk) lookout for whales in season. Long drop toilet. Book your ticket online before you go. Currently $6/week and a National Parks Pass.
