Camping Wineglass Bay Coles Bay Freycinet National Park

Camping is very popular during the Christmas New Year period at Wineglass Bay in the Freycinet National Park, Coles Bay Tasmania. Allocation of campsites is decided by a ballot system drawn on 1 August each year, with notification around the middle of August. The ballot is used to allocate sites for the peak Summer Season from 18th December to 10th February and also during the busy Easter period. Only one entry per family/group is allowed for Summer, with a further entry also allowable Easter. The maximum stay is 10 nights for up to 6 people per site. Notification of the ballot draw will be as immediately after the draw as possible, usually by the middle of August. Applications can only be made by letter, fax, or e-mail. There is, however, usually space available in the designated backpacker camping area however bookings can't be made, and there is no access for vehicles. To protect the environment camping is limited to within the barrier areas on allocated sites, and in the fragile sand dunes area, camping is restricted to tents only, with one car per site. Please Note: No caravans, campervans, or minibusses are permitted in the sand dune area. Enter Wineglass Bay Ballot. The park offers a variety of basic powered and unpowered camping areas, campsites.
