Grassed and shaded camping sites in Cape Jaffa
Not every camping setup needs the same amount of space, shade or vehicle access. Our unpowered sites offer two main camping environments, allowing guests to choose an area that suits how they travel.
Shaded unpowered tent sites
Our shaded tent sites are located among established trees, with smaller grassed areas suited to tents, swags, rooftop tents, campervans and motorhomes up to approximately 6 metres.
These sites offer a more sheltered camping environment and are particularly suited to guests who prefer camping among trees rather than in an open area.
Most of our unpowered sites can accommodate campers using rooftop solar panels. The open grassed areas are particularly suitable as they are generally free from overhead trees.
Open grassed camping sites
Our larger unpowered sites are generally level, grassed and free from overhead trees, making them suitable for camper trailers, campervans, motorhomes, rooftop tents and other self-sufficient camping setups.
The sites are separated by a wide internal access road, providing easier entry and manoeuvring for larger vehicles.
Most of our unpowered sites can accommodate campers using rooftop solar panels. The open grassed areas are particularly suitable as they are generally free from overhead trees.
For guests travelling with particularly large vehicles, we have a dedicated unpowered big-rig site approximately 21 metres long. Availability and suitability should be confirmed when booking.
