A string of sandy, compact
camp sites
(per person $7)
line the coast within the park. Facilities
and shade are minimal, though most have toilets and some shelter from prevailing winds.
To avoid long peak-season queues (from 7am!) at the park entrance station, consider pre-
booking a site (at least 48 hours ahead) through the DEC. Only certain sites can be booked
online; the rest are allocated upon arrival at the entrance station (not the visitor centre!) -
ask for a generator-free site if you're after peace and quiet.

chalets $180; )
Located just outside the park boundary, this former sheep station caters
mainly for anglers, though travellers are also welcome and there are some nice grassy tent
sites. There's a range of cabins (most require a security bond) plus a pool, shop and camp
kitchen.

wilderness tent s/d $1088/1450; Mar-Dec)
Want to watch that
flaming crimson Indian Ocean sunset from between 500-threadcount pure cotton sheets?
Pass the Chablis! For those who want their camp without the cramp, there's a minimum
two-night stay, three gourmet meals a day, a free bar (!) and the same things to do as the
couple over the dune in the pop-up camper.
