Camping is a great alternative to the lodge accommodation. An open grassy field next to the estuary may add that real sense of adventure for your group on their next field trip or marine camp. Enquiries on price welcome.

We are committed to reduce our impact on this fragile environment so an additional charge for the use of skis for mangrove investigations will be charged per group.
