The East Coast
Tucked behind Richardsons Beach, near the entrance to Freycinet, these camp sites are seriously popular. From late December to mid-February and at Easter, site allocation is via a ballot system: download the application form and submit it by 31 July. Outside the ballot period, book via the Freycinet National Park Visitor Information Centre. National park entry fees apply.
If Richardsons Beach is full, ask about additional camp sites at Honeymoon Bay and Ranger Creek.
