Pretty much just one barge now.
$380 sounds right - more for extra passengers (I think 2 are included) and then add on vehicle permit ($38) as well.
Most of the eastern beach campsites are "bushcamp style". eg. North-east or South-east zones. Some of the other areas are like that too - eg. south of Tangalooma on western beach (but can be sandflies there).

I'll let you do a few searches here and on some of the other forums for good spots to visit.
