Waterfront Camping at Doe Bay
Waterfront camping at Doe Bay offers some of the most scenic tent sites on the property. Perched along the shoreline and positioned to take in expansive views of the water and surrounding islands, these walk-in campsites invite you to wake with the light and fall asleep to the sound of the tide.
If proximity to the sea and uninterrupted views are your priority, waterfront camping delivers an unforgettable setting.
What Makes Waterfront Camping Different
-
Walk-in access (approximately 5–7 minutes from parking)
-
Direct proximity to the shoreline
-
Expansive water and island views
-
Ideal for tent campers seeking a scenic setting
-
Close to trails, bathhouses, and the café
Waterfront sites require carrying your gear a short distance from the parking area. In exchange, you’ll experience one of the most visually striking camping settings at Doe Bay.
Waterfront Single Campsites
Perfect for 1–2 guests, these sites offer intimate, tent-friendly spaces with stunning vantage points over the water.
They’re ideal for couples or solo campers who want a quiet, scenic place to unwind.
Waterfront Family Campsites
Waterfront family campsites provide additional space for small groups who want to share the experience together.
Maximum occupancy: 4 adults plus children
These sites offer room to gather while maintaining direct access to the shoreline environment.
Setting & Experience
Waterfront campsites are located along the edges of the property where land meets sea. Expect open sky, salt air, and sweeping views — along with the sounds of wind and water.
Like all camping at Doe Bay, the experience is simple and nature-focused:
-
Shared bathhouses
-
No utility hook-ups
-
Campfires permitted only at the community fire ring
Because these sites are exposed to coastal conditions, they are best suited for guests comfortable with changing weather and natural terrain.
