There are several accommodation options:

  1. Cabins — Fully detached ensuite cabins, with a lounge area, TV, and a kitchenette (including fridge, microwave, kettle, crockery, etc.). 

  2. Powered sites — Campsites or caravan/motorhome spots with power, many close to park facilities and very near the beachfront. 

  3. Un‑powered sites — More rustic tent/caravan sites with access to shared amenities like camp kitchen, showers, and toilets. 

  4. Fully self‑contained RV sites — Large open spaces for self-contained motorhomes or caravans, with water access and a dump point. 

Plus, the park is pet‑friendly: well-behaved dogs are permitted on lead.

Whether you’re camping under the stars or staying in a cosy cabin with ensuite and kitchenette, the park caters for all travellers.

 Families and pet‑owners are welcome, and there are full facilities including camp kitchens, WiFi, laundry and drinking water.

By day, wander along the sweeping East Beach shoreline and take in the view of Low Head Lighthouse. 

At dusk, wildlife comes alive: wallabies roam after dark, and you might even glimpse an echidna or wombat. 

 For local adventures, the park is close to penguin tours, the historic Low Head Pilot Station, scenic cycling trails, and refreshing dives along the rugged coast.

Tranquil, natural and welcoming—East Beach Tourist Park is the perfect retreat for relaxation, wildlife, and discovery.

Originally known as Nine Mile Springs it was changed to Lefroy in 1881 after the visit by the Acting Governor, Sir Henry Lefroy. It was a bustling town, which is said to have contained 5,000 people in its peak boom period of 1890-95. It was the fourth largest town in Tasmania,.
