To find Banksia Bluff Campground turn off the Princess Highway at Cabbage Tree Creek Road or turn off to Orbost and travel through Marlo into the park. Banksia Bluff campsites vary in size, shape and vegetation with no 2 sites the same. The natural and irregular footprint of each campsite is a feature of the bush camping experience.

All sites are un-powered, and the use of generators is not permitted under section 44A, regulation 73 under the National Parks Act 1975. Tight turning circles within the campground loops can make access restrictive for towed vehicles. There is no potable water throughout Cape Conran Coastal Park. The bore water on tap at Banksia Bluff Campground is not suitable for consumption, so please BYO drinking and cooking water.
