Freycinet Golf Club Campground (often called “Fairways“) is a strategic gem in Coles Bay.
Found just 10 minutes from the entrance of Freycinet National Park, this community-run site offers a reprieve from the tight bays of commercial parks while keeping you at the doorstep of the Hazards and Wineglass Bay. It is a “big rig”- friendly base, providing large, level grassy or gravel sites situated right alongside the fairways. Whether you are spending the morning on the greens or using the site as a quiet “staging post” for the park’s legendary hikes, the Golf Club delivers that rare mix of low-cost convenience and absolute peace under the shadows of the granite peaks.
The campground is accessed via the Arthur Highway. The campground is located very close to the Highway
You must be fully contained to stay in the campground. However, the clubhouse toilet may be open.
Pets are permitted at this campsite.
Fires are not permitted.
