Rapid Bay Campground

We camped here for a few nights such an awesome campground. The amenities were clean and tidy the staff Laurie and his wife were great to deal with. We even caught fish off the jetty highly recommend this campground. We will be back for sure.

Just had a 50th event at Rapid Bay & needed to camp overnight. We met Laurie & Ray, who are the new campground managers ( barely a week in the new role ) They were nothing short of amazing & understanding of our needs & requirements for the weekend. I have to admit that it was a quieter than usual weekend down there, which did help in what they were able to provide, but they went above & beyond to help us ( & our family & friends) to make camping there, a wonderful experience. Can't thank them enough.

Extremely popular. Crammed. Flushing toilets are provided. The beach spots are premium. We were there for two nights, and were able to get spots, with our friends, next door to each other, and the next day grab a couple of spots across the road on the beach. We were late in the afternoon arriving, but before 5pm. There doesn't seem to be any etiquette when it comes to moving about, as people just seem to walk straight through your campsite, even over our ground sheet outside our van. At least they weren't gawping through our windows on the rare occasions we were inside, I suppose. There is no dumping point, or water available at the site.

Good value for money, the water is lovely to swim in and beautiful scenery. I stayed on a Friday night and I think because of that it was a lot busier and people were up late making noise, but not to the point I couldn’t get to sleep. Also, I couldn’t find any taps to get water from. If they were around, they weren’t very visible. Non-allocated sites I got there late and had to camp in the sun. Not a lot of shade. Overall enjoyed my experience and would return.

Nice campground but over priced for lack of amenities here. You pay for the location by the water. There is a toilet block and public BBQs (two) available. No showers and no potable drinking water. Council owned and operated, we saw police and other patrol the campground so it’s safe and keeps everyone in check from unruly behaviour. I also checked and it’s 100% OK (but on the disgusting side) to let your grey water release onto the ground at the campground.

Top spot to camp . Toilets . Gorgeous peaceful serenity .

Well, you can't get any closer to the ocean. On our 2 night stay the ocean was like a millpond. Amazingly flat water over 2 days. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Although there aren't any sites layed out it all seems to work out. Great spot for a self sufficient camping break as there is no power or water except for the toilet block which has non potable water so you need to bring your own. Closest shop is at Delamere, around 10km away.
