About this caravan park

Tiparra Rocks Camping Area is a rustic coastal retreat, located north of Balgowan. Unforgettable experiences await campers with activities including fishing, boating, swimming and snorkelling in the ocean. The area is a little off the beaten track with rough terrain, making it more suitable for camper trailers rather than caravans.

The road from Balgowan is quite rough. This spot is not suitable for caravans, but camper trailers are OK.
