Catamaran
Camping area is one of a number of
free camping areas in the Recherche Bay Nature
Recreation Area. It is located at Catamaran Bay
boat ramp where you can launch a boat. Facilities at this
camp (and all camps in the Recherche
Recreation Area) are limited to long drop
toilets. Camps are accessible by all vehicles including large caravans, motorhomes, tents, camper trailers and campervans. The ground is open and flat. No
bins or water. Dogs and generators and campfires are permitted with restrictions. The main reason people come to this area is to enter the National Park to visit Australia's most southern point - South Cape. A walking track of 16km return can be done from the day-use
carpark in the National Park (just over the
bridge at
Cockle Creek) to
South Cape Bay. This walk follows a portion of the 85km one-way hike called the South Coast Track.
