Booking a Campsite

Bookings are essential and may be made up to four months in advance. They are not transferable and sites cannot be sublet. Sites can be reserved for a maximum period of three weeks.

Weekend sites at Green Patch and Bristol Point are generally fully booked up to a month in advance during the warmer months from October through to May. Sites at Cave Beach are more readily available, but do require you to leave your car and walk to the campsites located 300 metres from the parking area.

Campsites at Green Patch and Bristol Point are allocated on a ballot system for the Christmas school holidays.

The pricing structure is based on amount of equipment and number of vehicles that can be accommodated on the site. View the pricing structure.

When making a booking please provide:

dimensions of your tent, tents or van (annexes and awnings must be included in dimensions);
number of vehicles you will have on your site (trailers and boats are counted as vehicles); and
