The Location

Located approximately 25 km outside Hopevale this shady beachfront campsite is the perfect base to see the Coloured Sands dune formations.

The campsite has toilet and shower facilities and fresh water supply but please note water is a precious resource and is not an unlimited supply.

The natural and secluded surroundings mean no shops nearby so arrive self-sufficient with supplies.

The campsite is accessed on a sometimes rough track so while 4WD is not essential it is preferred as there are some sections of deep sand – caravans are not suited to the road.

The large expanse of beach faces Cape Bedford and at low tide the shallows provide plenty of exploration with numerous starfish, crabs, sea cucumbers and marine life to find.

This is a delightful spot next to the beach. There are plenty of places to camp both open and shaded. The owners are very friendly and helpful but the facilities are very basic just toilets and a cold shower. The road in is almost all tarmac with a small amount of gravel road.
