'No camping' signs, as of April 2022. There's also an angry review from a local resident on WikiCamp.

It is a little camping area, but we could get a tent spot in the Easter Holiday. Plenty of shade. We spotted dolphins in the bay and saw star fishes. Amazing day!

Slice of paradise overlooking Coffin Bay NP. Picnic table, BBQ & fire pit at small bush campsite.
