Toilets are 100 metres from our camp, and the main amenity block with showers is 300 meters from camp. Blue Lagoon with excellent fresh water swimming is 400 metres from our camp. The ocean beach just over the dunes.

Catering: Please bring your own food, except for Saturday evening when a BBQ will be provided. Vegetarians may wish to BYO something to BBQ. Please BYO alcohol.

Please bring your own plate, cup, cutlery and and a full water bottle.

Refrigeration. I will be able to keep your BYO drinks, especially if they arrive cold. Patrons are also encouraged to bring share BYO eskies with friends. I will provide some frozen water bottles to top up the cold in your eskies on Saturday.

Accommodation is in full height canvas tents (4 by 6 metres) These are large enough for a family or groups of up to 5 comfortably. Tent allocation is arranged by the patrons on arrival. If your prefer not to share, then you are welcome to BYO hike tent. Biting insects are generally not a problem, but some insect repellent is a good insurance. You will need a torch as sleeping tents do not have lighting.

Bedding. A bare stretcher is provided, so please bring your own sleeping bag, pillow etc. A sleeping mat on the stretcher can provide additional warmth.
