G’day all,
We are at the end of a four day stay at the River & Rocks free camping area near Coles Bay and the Freycinet National Park. If you have been following along you would know its a great base to explore the region surrounding and including the Freycinet National Park. Also a good spot for some fishing and just plain relaxing.
The campsite is located 19 klm south of the turn off to Coles Bay from the Tasman Highway and is easily accessable for caravans, campers and those with cmper trailers or motor homes. There is group camping available or nice secluded spots which have been well thought out and can easily accommodate a caravan or motorhome. Onsite is a pit toilet and BBQ’s but you will need to bring your own water and firewood.
I looked at the camping spot in the national park (where fees apply) and for the sake of a 4 klm drive to the national park I would camp here anyday. The national park costs you money, is boxed in and there still isn’t a view????
Use this one as a base if you are exploring the region around Coles Bay and the Freycinet National Park, it is free, open, easily accessable and secluded if that’s what you want. Good spot as a base.
