    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
    Great grassy flat rural site with waterfront views of Corner Inlet and Wilsons Promontory. Property will have grass slashed around 12-20th Dec ready for the Xmas holiday period, outside of these times the grass will be bit higher. Just a short work to the famous Long Jetty and the Port Welshpool pub has re-opened (https://www.facebook.com/TheRustyGurnard/) Easy access and short drive (100m) to the boat ramp. Great fishing both on land and from the boat. For those who like to enjoy a bike ride, access to Great Southern Rail Trail ; Tarra Trail (Leongatha to Port Welshpool) 75km bike track now extended to Port Albert and Yarram - , www.gsrt.com.au Wilsons Promontory National park is Victoria's oldest national park. It covers 50,000 hectares and features pristine beaches, forests and places to visit. There is a 19-km (return) walk to Sealers Cove that can be accomplished in a day and the track takes you through mountains, temperate rainforest and secluded beaches. If you want some fresh bread delivery on a Sunday, check out https://www.allysbakery.com.au/ or https://www.facebook.com/p/allys-bakery-61565353347501/ Much of the coast and water around the Promontory is also a marine park with seabirds, seals, turtles and passing whales. There are also various fishing and other cruises available such as https://www.wildlifecoastcruises.com.au for full day Prom Cruises and fishing charters such as www.duffscharters.com.au Please pack your insect spray because depending on the season and weather conditions sandflies can be around especially at nightfall. Also be aware that if there has been rain that the block may be wet and boggy so check before driving into the block to avoid getting stuck.

    This campsite offers a vast and peaceful setting, ideal for those who are self-sufficient. It's conveniently close to the beach and the jetty, providing easy access for fishing or simply enjoying the waterfront. However, campers should be prepared for its rustic nature, as there are no facilities, and the site can be boggy or overgrown in areas. While some have enjoyed the solitude, others found the insects and uneven terrain to be challenging.

    Site 1 - Port Welshpool Coastal Waterfront
    A very quiet camping spot for the long weekend. No running water or toilet/shower facility but there is a public toilet and shower just down the road for fellow tent campers. Would be well suited to more self contained set ups but a couple of days in a tent is still enjoyable! The perfect base for day trips when tidal river/the prom is booked out.

    Photos of the actual area for camping Monthly mowing of the site, the grass was way too long for a tent. Reduction of the trees at the border to see the water.

    Big land. It is is a bit expensive for what it offers. Lots of flies, mozies and jumping jacks Good if you are self contained. Close to the Jetty. 15 min to the Pub. Good food and good service.
