A few steps from the sun, sand and surf of lovely Fortescue Bay, this camping area is a popular summer destination and bookings are necessary for peak times. There are 2 groups of sites – 40 in all – tucked into shady forest clearings at the end of the Fortescue Bay Rd, 12 km from a turn-off from the Arthur Hwy, 4 km south of Taranna. The road is unsealed but fine for 2WD vehicles and mountain bikes. Bring your own drinking water. Note that campfires can be lit in designated places and wood is available for sale.

Various walking tracks start at this campground including the 2 hr return walk to Canoe Bay, as well as the longer Mt Fortescue and Cape Hauy tracks. The views from the rugged cliffs of Cape Hauy are spectacular.
