We stayed last night 21st March. Just us and a car with a couple. Nice spot for overnight or 72 hours if you want. Long drop toilets. Big rubbish bin. Walk to beach. Just beautiful calm sea. Would recommend for overnight.

Nice little spot right next to the beach. Little bit windy at night in case you sleep in a tend. Clean drop toilets provided.

If shire are charging in the future, I hope it goes towards tidying this strip of sites up as they're not what they could be with remnants of settlers shacks and property left where they once stood

I just rang the Shire and they said : all free camping spots in this Shire are closed due to the Corona virus. However you can go to their fee paying caravan park or fee paying tourist resorts. (Meaning those fee paying places are free of Covid19 while self contained sanitised Vans in Knobby Head are not? ) We will bypass Dongara and Port Denison and get our fuel, hamburgers, pub food and drinks, souvenirs, Knick knacks, supermarket, before or after this town/shire. The locals must be doing well financially if they are squeezing people out.

As Council is committed to the recovery of the local economy during COVID-19, the Shire of Irwin wishes to advise visitors to Dongara Port Denison that all Shire maintained (free) camping sites remain closed until further notice.

Closed due to COVID at the moment.

It's ok but got to be honest and say there are better spots. Just as well it's free at the moment as would not be prepared to pay $20 a night unless more was done. Sad to say the men's drop toilet was a disgrace and could not used. Moved to Cliff Head a few Kms north and that is a different story.
