Seasonal Camping Permits
Balnarring Foreshore Reserve has 23 seasonal camping sites in our A Reserve (Masonsmith Road, Balnarring Beach). A seasonal siteholder agreement allows permit holders to camp on their site between the 1st September and the Kings Birthday long weekend in June. The Committee of Management is trialling year round operations in 2026 and seasonal campers may extend their bookings from the Kings Birthday to the 1st September after payment of an additional $300 fee.
Seasonal permit fees for the 2026/27 season were $4571.00 (powered site) and $4136.00 (non-powered site). These fees are divided into four installments over the duration of the season.
Seasonal sites are tightly held and most siteholders renew their site each year. There is currently an extensive waitlist for these sites. The expected waiting time is over 20 years and is dependent on siteholders relinquishing their permits.
If you would like to join the waitlist for a Seasonal Camping Permit please email balnarringforeshore@bigpond.com with your name, ,email, telephone number and full address.
