The campgrounds within Freycinet National Park that you can book - Richardsons Beach, Ranger Creek, Honeymoon Bay and those that you can't - Friendly Beaches and River & Rocks, fill up extremely quickly especially from mid-December until the first week of February and again at Easter. However, there are a couple of other options surrounding the national park that you can try and that offer alternative camping options. While the campsites below are still close to all of the attractions surrounding Coles Bay, they’re technically all out of the Freycinet National Park so no park fees apply to them. However, you will need a valid national Parks Pass if you are planning to enter any part of the Freycinet National Park, such as Wineglass Bay or The Hazards.
