Walk-in only bushwalker campsite at Cooks Beach in Freycinet National Park, reached via a 12km (about 3.5 hour) walking track from the car park – no vehicle access. Composting toilets are provided, and the historic 1859 Cooks Hut offers shelter. A water tank at the hut is not guaranteed due to low rainfall, so carry your own drinking water. No bookings needed or possible; dogs are not permitted in the national park.
Cooks Beach is a remote and scenic overnight walker campsite located along the southern coast of the Freycinet Peninsula in Tasmania’s Freycinet National Park. Set against the backdrop of the Hazards mountains, the campground features basic facilities including a historic stone shelter known as Cooks Hut, composting toilets, and a rainwater tank that can be unreliable during dry periods. Accessible only by foot or boat as part of multi-day hikes like the Freycinet Peninsula Circuit, it offers a peaceful retreat with pristine turquoise waters and secluded tent sites nestled just behind the coastal dunes. Campers must carry a fuel stove, pack out all waste, and hold a valid Tasmanian National Parks Pass.
