The campground is 36kms from the Princes Highway turn-off along the unsealed West Wingan Road. Access to the beach is either by boat through the inlet or via the Fly Cove Walking Track which commences in the campground. Strong currents can occur around the inlet mouth and along the ocean beach. Motorised boats can be used on the inlet but limits of 20 horse power motors and speeds of 8 km/hr (5 knots) apply over the entire inlet. There is no mobile phone reception at the campground.
