Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Welcome to Paradise Lagoon! Here you can stay 30 metres back from the foreshore of Pelican Bay. Unfortunately you cannot see the beautiful bay view from the campsite. You can simply walk 30 metres and take your chairs and esky and spend the day marveling at the views and bird life, or even grab the kayak and paddleboard for some healthy fun .
Pelican Bay is a saltwater tidal lagoon, it's very shallow water for a long way, then gets deep a fair way out. The water is too shallow for Boats , but there is a boat ramp nearby. Wineglass Bay is just up the road in Freycinet National Park.
We only welcome guests over the age of 50 who have a fully self-contained vehicle. There are no amenities as yet so you must BYO everything you need and leave no footprint. Thank you.
While the description does state the site the camp sites are back from the lagoon and that there is no view of the lagoon it also states that the campsites are on grassy / paddock surfaces. The camp sites are on dirty, black sand within a fairly small area amongst the scrub with no view at all. In our opinion quite an unpleasant and unattractive campsite and not as impression implied, all this for the exorbitant price of $60 per night for 2 people ?? One usually gets what one pays for & besides the hosts description the price requested made me assume this must be a pleasant camp site. We drove in and straight out again, stayed at the Pondering Frog, $10.00 per night, very pleasant
with potable water provided.
Place was great for a one night stay with a tent. It was very private, great little walk to the bay with a stunning view to the mountains. Short drive to Wineglass Bay or Friendly beaches. Great communication.
Communication with Leza was excellent! Very friendly, quick response, fair and open. I pretty much liked the spot, it is a beautiful piece of land on Freycinet Island in Pelican Bay. We had a visit of a Delena cancerides but luckily she did not manage to find her way into our camper van ;-) A lot of kangaroos jumping around in that area and of course many beautiful birds.
