We have stayed at a couple in January and not had any problems with space. We were there over the Australia day long weekend last year, and there was plenty of space no matter where we went.
We stayed at the
Kingscote park, and had no issues there. The place is clean, wasn't priced too badly, and there is plenty of space.
Stokes bay is just a council park, who had a guy collecting the money whilst we were there. He was staying there in his bus, so collected the fees, and kept the place tidy. It can get windy here, so finding some trees to shelter behind for the night is a good idea if you know that the wind is going to be up. A nice quiet place to stay though with enough space. There are
toilets there as
well.
West Bay we only shared with some back packers who arrived just after sun set. No Facilities there, and it is a bumpy trip out there, but
well worth it, especially for sun set. The spaces are set out, but still provide plenty of space between camps, and inside the
camp itself. The fees here are paid at the same time as the parks pass.
D'Estrees Bay has individual camps that are
well spaced between sites, and there is a heap of room in each one. You are literally camping on the beach here. We did not see one other car the time we were here. So we had the choice of site for the night, and never had to worry about noise or space. No facilities, and you pay the fee at the same time as the parks pass. From memory this is only a few $.
The
American River camp area is really first come first served, so you probably need to arrive a little bit earlier if you want a decent space or a space at all. When we were there it was busy, but not full. There are
toilet and shower facilities here as
well, and the general store is only just up the road.
So for us, we didn't have an issue with space, or other people generally, so if you book where you can, and rely on luck for others, we found it to be fine.
