All to yourself
95% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
In a quiet and private bush block at the end of a cul-de-sac lies a levelled flat space situated across the road from the river at 1770. You'll be sitting amongst the Australian bush with a white sandy river only a hop, jump and skip away. Walking tracks that meander through a scenic reserve to a headland with beautiful bay and ocean views are at your doorstep. There's space for a camper / tent / small caravan and car and if the tinny or boat doesn't fit there's often designated car parking spaces available on the road. Our neighbours enjoy a peaceful and quiet space and we ask all our guests to help respectfully maintain this.You're towing set up needs to be quite compact - under 12m combined to allow for a tight dog leg turn into the levelled campsite which is accessed by reversing down a steepish (but short) concrete and gravel driveway, for this reason we think a 4WD or AWD vehicle is best suited for this site. But for perspective if you are just tenting we have a RAV4 which has no problems accessing the camp site. The camping area is a flat gravelled surface (we recommend wearing shoes around the campsite) in a quintessential Australian bush setting. Private and peaceful and in close proximity to Round Hill Creek. On a second level down a small bank there is a firepit space, previous stairs that were cut into the bank have washed away so you'll either need to be fairly nimble to walk up and down or you can just as easily walk around to this level. We have no facilities so you'll need to bring everything with you - toilet / water / firewood / etc and you'll need to take everything home with you including your rubbish. So if you have a self sufficient set up and enjoy a quiet and private space away from the hustle and bustle of busy parks and campgrounds then this will be the perfect spot for you to enjoy. Set up and stay put exploring the creek, nearby bush walks and beautiful headlands or use as home base for your adventures.

This place is in the best spot! It’s private and quiet all night. It’s a short walk to the beach and walking track to the head land. I’ve stayed at 1770 and Agnes before and this site is bigger than most of those it just has a driveway to get down and bush surrounding instead of other caravans. if you’re completely self sufficient and don’t want to be crammed in this place is epic! I would definitely recommend and stay there again! The kids loved it and it was such an enjoyable stay.

We really enjoyed our 5 nights stay Finbay camp it was very private, peaceful with a rainforest fell , with bush turkeys and we felt safe with houses close by at the end of the court we Lit a fire most nights 👍 Also very Walkable to all 1770 had to offer , beach and cafes and hotel Great walking track across the road Tanya was very responsive to our messages and directions were spot on. Highly recommend this stay , bets being packed in like sardines at the 1770 caravan park any day 😎

I had a lovely stay at Finbay! Tanya gave me a buzz before, and I was saddened to hear people had been leaving the place in poor state with rubbish etc. Be better people! The place was very clean however and the site is lovely. Just up from the beach and beautifully secluded. Spot for a fire and an flat even site. Couldn't ask for much more!

Fantastic spot! Perfectly tucked away in a busy area. So close to the cook monument and butterfly walk. We had no trouble with access in our van (Renault Trafic) 10/10 recommend this peaceful spot!

Great for a stop over, feel very secluded but just off the main road. Short walk to the beach and the directions were very accurate. Would stay there again in the future.

Was a great little spot, tucked away but still close. 2 minute walk to the beach at the cpt cook monument, there was even some fire wood left for us when we got there. Would definitely stay again.

Great to have some space and peace, easy access to public showers and toilets. Very satisfying to drive past the hideously cramped campgrounds just down the road. Thanks Tanya!

Perfect little hidden hideaway to set the swag up and enjoy the sounds of the crashing waves through the night, very clean and shady spot, level ground for any set-up. Thanks Tanya 🤘🏽

Great spot. Perfect location and very secluded. We got our RV down on the pad quite easily and reversed it back up. Close to lovely walks and ocean.

The site is nice and close to the gorgeous peninsula however, for the price it was a bit of a disappointment considering small size, no amenities and proximity to the main road.

One of the more unique camp spots but a hundred times better than being cattle herded into the nearby caravan park, exit a bit of a challenge in a heavy 2 wheel drive Motorhome, but the camp spot is great location all to yourself.

This site wasn’t what we expected, however, after initial reservations on setting up, we enjoyed a quiet and private night. The road traffic was really loud in the afternoon. This road was 50m away below us and the only road to the headland, so a constant flow of traffic heading uphill. All was quiet though once the sun set which was a relief 😊 We had a perfect stay and despite being residential no neighbours in view. Leaving was a challenge as we are a 7m fixed axle sprinter ( non towing). Turning around to drive out wasn’t an option as with the length of the van and turning area available and on a slope, this just wasn’t doable. Just things to consider if you are booking. Tanya was available and responded to concerns quickly. The initial photo that appears on WikiCamps is a beautiful beach sunset which we misinterpreted as being perhaps a view from the camp site, this is not so. The second photo once booking is a true photo of the site, however, it’s easy to misinterpret these photos as being your site view and vista view. 1770 certainly a beautiful place to visit and loved our stay in this town.

Cute little campsite very close to the river. Arrived to find some sticks and a fire lighter set up in the fire pit for us which was a really nice touch

Great location, private and close to everything 1770 has to offer. Very steep driveway, not suitable for mid sized to larger caravans. We got our van in ok, but it was challenging.

Very nice spot, right in seventeen seventy. Secluded camping area with lots of privacy. The mesh flooring was an added bonus since it was rainy while we were there. Was a great spot and would definitely be back! A tree did fall on our gazebo but our gazebo lived and the winds and rain were bad that night.

We had a lovely time at finbay. We were lucky enough to get a beachside camping spot not 10m from the beach. We would definitely go back preferably for longer. We appreciated the parks rules around noise after dark as it was so peaceful after sundown. Definitely a great place for families. Take push bikes and scooters to grab a coffee and go to the park walking distance from the site.

Location, location, location! This camp spot offers an incredible proximity to the 1770 headland. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, spending our days on beach, taking walks and our evenings around the fire pit. Tanya, the host, was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating with excellent communication
