Visitors adore camping at Booderee. Choose between the natural setting and individual campsites at Green Patch, the grassy area at Cave Beach, or Bristol Point, which is ideal for larger groups.

How to book your campsite

Online booking is now available.

Book your campsite

Campsites are automatically allocated using a first come, first served system. We encourage you to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Maximum equipment allowed per site

To provide a comfortable and enjoyable camping stay for all our visitors, your gear and number of people must follow the specifications in the equipment guide diagram above. People and gear additional to the standard allowance should be recorded during booking or at the Visitor Centre, as additional fees apply.

Camping equipment for each campsite MUST fit within the designated camping areas shown above.  If your gear exceeds this size – additional campsites will need to be booked and paid for. We thank you for your understanding of this requirement.

Things to consider

• All campsites are unpowered.
• When deciding what size campsite you need, remember to include the dimensions of any ‘kitchen tents’, annexes, awnings and gazebos in addition to your tent(s) or van.
• Consider the number of vehicles you will have on your site (trailers and boats are counted as vehicles).
• Please provide the registration numbers of all vehicles.
• Park use fees are included in your camp fee.
• Print out your ticket and bring it with you on your visit, or be ready to show your pass digitally to a ranger on request.

Checking in and checking out

If you have booked your Green Patch or Bristol Point site online you can proceed straight to your campsite without checking in at the Visitor Centre.

Please remember to print out and bring your booking confirmation to display on your dashboard.

If you have booked a site at Cave Beach, please pick up your tent tag on arrival at the Visitor Centre (or the following day if you arrive after hours) and attach the tag to your tent.

Campsites must be vacated by 12 noon on the day of departure and left in a clean and tidy condition.

Refunds and cancellations

Cancellations must be made at least 14 days before the arrival date to receive a refund.

Please email refund requests to booderee.mail@dcceew.gov.au
