Oberon Bay Camping Area
Nestled among tea trees, Oberon Bay is a bush campsite situated on the west side of the Prom. The camping area is accessible only via hiking from the coastal walking track from Tidal River or by the inland track from Telegraph Junction. The track from Tidal River offers great coastal views and passes through large rock outcrops, low heathland, coast tea-tree scrub and eucalypts.
A creek crossing is required if approaching from Tidal River. Crossing is reccomended at low tide. Toilets and limited tank water are available. Please treat water before use. The water supply is unreliable, so please carry in sufficient water for your stay.
While you're there, be sure to take a short walk from the campground to picturesque wind-swept Oberon Bay. A sight not to be missed.
