Campground
There are 4 sites located at this campground, and they are set amongst small trees and shrubs, directly on the beach.
The majority of campers here are tent campers, though the sites could accommodate an off-road camper trailer. This area is not suitable for caravans.
There is good shade at all sites, but privacy between sites varies.
This bay is very sheltered, so would be a good place to set up even in inclement weather. The trees and shrubs would offer some protection as well.

Amenities
There are no amenities at Spalding Cove.
No toilets - you will need to bring in a chemical toilet (and this helps keep the environment clean too). No water tanks either, so all water must be brought in.
Campfire restrictions apply at all campsites and to find out if you are allowed to have one when you visit, please check this page for the latest information in regards to when and where campfires are permitted
Activities
This is a very peaceful and pretty part of the National Park, and really has a beautiful beach for swimming. Young children will love the tranquil clear water on a warm day. Perfect for kayaking and canoes.
If you want to just sit back and relax, then this is the campground for you. There isn't a whole lot to do, so it will force you to chill out. There may not be enough for teenagers to do here - my child vastly preferred areas where there were rock pools and places to climb and explore. That might be just applicable to our family, but worth noting if you have restless kids.
