Bear Gully Campground (Cape Liptrap Coastal Park)

Set on the shores of Waratah Bay, Bear Gullly Campground offers relaxing coastal camping in a tranquil setting.
Next to Walkerville, and overlooking Wilsons Promontory, this camping area offers shady campsites set among tall Banksia near the shores of Waratah Bay.
The spectacular unpatrolled surf beach is just a short stroll from the campground and is best suited for rock pooling, fishing, surfing and coastal walks. It is not recommended for swimming - the nearest patrolled beaches are Sandy Point and Venus Bay.

Dogs are not permitted in the campground.
The campground is 2WD accessible, and 30 of the 32 campsites are suitable for camper trailers or medium sized caravans. Specific sites are detailed on the campground map. Camping fees apply and campers must obtain a Camping Permit. The Camping Permit will be subject to permit conditions.
