Hacket River campsite | Barn Bay to Big Bay coastal route

A couple of good campsites on the north side of the river for those who prefer to split their Gorge River to Big Bay Hut day into two smaller days.

Why not? It’s an excellent place to camp.

Note that a stay here will test the limits of your insect repellent.
