Cobourg Peninsula

There is space available at the time we wish to go, what is the camping like, are they near the water or tucked away.

The two camping areas are about a 100 - 150 m in direct line from the beach over the frontal dune. You cannot see the water from camping areas.
Both sites had/have cold shower and drinking water and not much else, one allows gennies one doesn't.
The campsites are arranged in and around patches of scrub to give daytime shade but best to be out in the breeze at night to miinimise mozzie problem.
With small kids we found it easier to drive down the coast to other beaches where you could park right at the sand and walk a short distance to the water, mind you no swimming as the water has crunch it alls and other bities.

Thanks Peter,
A further question, where down the coast did you camp, is this still within the Cobourg area? How far is it from the two sites you have mentioned?

Agree with the Ramblers comments below, unless you are into fishing with a largish boat (16ft+) there isn't much to do after the first few days spent exploring the area. As he said there are only two campsites and both pretty much next to the same bit of scrub, a couple of hundred yards to the water.
We've been there twice over the years and the drive in is pretty much the highlight unless you're into fishing with a boat.
We took a 12ft tinny with a 15hp and with one adult and three kids it struggled against the tides and currents along the coast. A group that was there the second time had a 16ft deep hulled boat with a huge motor and they said that out off the coast it only just coped.
