The best camping near Kent Group National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Kent Group National Park, a remote sanctuary amid the wild seas of Bass Strait. Here, the intrepid can indulge in kayaking, snorkelling, and fishing, or take a short walk to uncover the park's rugged beauty. With no formal campgrounds, visitors must be self-sufficient, embracing the untamed essence of this isolated paradise.

When to go

The best time to visit Kent Group National Park is during the summer months when the weather is more stable and the seas are calmer, making access by boat safer. Winter visits can be challenging due to rough seas and strong winds, which may hinder travel plans and outdoor activities.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you are completely self-sufficient with adequate fuel, water, food, and first aid supplies as there are no services or facilities.
  • Informal camping is permitted at West Cove on Erith Island, and Garden Cove or Winter Cove on Deal Island.
  • Be aware of strong tidal currents, especially in Murray Pass between Deal and Erith Islands.
  • Check your gear for soil, seeds, insects, and vermin to protect the park's biosecurity.
  • Pets are not allowed ashore to preserve the park's delicate ecosystem.
