Facilities and Further Information
Ranger led activities
During summer, rangers offer a variety of activities such as walks, talks and slide shows for both adults and children. Besides being lots of fun these are a great way to learn about our national parks, wildlife and heritage.

Camping
Note: Camping is extrememly popular over the Christmas/New Year period and is decided by a ballot system drawn on 1 October. Applications must be made by letter/fax/email. However, there is usually ample space available in the designated backpacker camping area (no vehicle access/no bookings taken). To protect the environment we have to limit camping to within the barriered areas on allocated sites. In the fragile sand dune area, camping is restricted to tents only, with one car per site. No caravans, campervans or minibuses are permitted in the sand dune area.
Excess cars (other than the one allowed per site) must be parked in the overflow carparks located amongst the dune sites or in the carpark at Ranger Creek. Please note that we do not have laundry or hot shower facilities.
The park offers a variety of basic powered and unpowered campsites - none with showers. Some sites are available all year round, though the Sand Dune and Honeymoon Bay campsites are only open over summer and Easter. Only the main campsite at Richardsons Beach has powered sites. Outside of the main summer/Easter period, a self-registration system applies to camping. Booking and other details are found on the display board outside the park entry station. Camping fees per night at the above sites are as follows:

Refuse disposal/collection and recycling
Please help by pre-sorting your rubbish before placing it in rubbish boxes and bins provided throughout the camping area. We recycle glass bottles and jars, aluminium cans and PET soft drink bottles. Please do not leave any rubbish where it will be accessible to wildlife.

Fires
Freycinet is a fuel stove preferred area as it is very dry and vulnerable to fire. Fireplaces and firewood are provided in the only areas where fires can be lit in safety. No fires are allowed in the sand dune sites. Please remember - fires may be lit only in constructed fireplaces provided for your use. Once lit do not leave fires unattended. Gas and fuel stoves may be used at all campsites except on days of Total Fire Ban. On days of Total Fire Ban, no naked flames of any sort, including gas and fuel stoves are allowed in the open. The electric barbecues provided at Ranger Creek and Honeymoon Bay picnic areas can be used for cooking on these days.

Water supply
Taps are located:
· along the sand dune access road
· at Honeymoon Bay picnic area
· between Honeymoon Bay sites 71 and 72
· on power poles in the caravan area
· at each toilet block.
The Coles Bay water supply is stretched to its limit and consequently, water restrictions are in force until further notice. We ask that you use water wisely and do not wash cars or boats. It is recommended that water be boiled before drinking. Tank water is provided at each toilet block for drinking purposes only.

This is located just past the Visitors Reception Centre and the entrance is sign posted off the main road. The nearest car parking area is at Ranger Creek, 200 metres away. The theatre is used for film and slide shows, for campfire entertainment and as an activity meeting place. The theatre is available throughout the year for schools and other groups. Contact the Visitor Reception Centre for further details.
