The campsite is situated on the beach, sheltered by the sheoaks in the back dunes. At the rear of the campsite lies a freshwater lagoon, locally known as the keyholes.
Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums.
The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience.
A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals.
Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.

Great location while still being close to everything you need. The kids absolutely loved it, especially the swings and flying fox. The host was very friendly and understanding.
Perfect spot for a family or even 2–3 families travelling together. Having a toilet and shower was a huge bonus, especially when travelling with kids.

Had the best time at Tappy’s… such a wonderful campsite.. everything you need and nothing you don’t.. so great to drive down the beach and enjoy a total getaway. We met John and his son Steve who own the place - two of the absolute best humans. So happy to have found this awesome gem. We’ll be back!

The site was very private and once a minor issue with the hot water was quickly sorted it was an amazing place to spend our time in the region. Tucked up in a quiet location but close enough to local attractions. The facilities were exactly as described and provided everything we needed.

Good spot to camp for a night. Bank down to the creek is a bit steep for a good fish. No shade so need to bring your own gazebo’s. Nice and flat. Would have been better if it was mowed.
