Upgrades to Coffin Bay National Park and Lincoln National Park
Improvements are now complete at 2 existing visitor facilities in Eyre Peninsula parks – at Lincoln National Park’s popular Fisherman Point Campground and the Golden Island Day Visitor Area in Coffin Bay National Park.
At Lincoln National Park, on Lower Eyre Peninsula, upgrades include increased capacity at Fisherman Point Campground, new signage, new toilet blocks, improved vehicle access, and improved pedestrian beach access.
We’ve simplified the fees and reconfigured the campground, with visitors now able to book one of 19 campsites, rather than the previous arrangement where the 15 campsites were occupied on a first-come first-served basis.
At Coffin Bay National Park, visitors to Golden Island Day Visitor Area can now kick back and relax under 2 new picnic shelters with accessible picnic tables.
New toilet facilities and an expanded car park were also part of the project, along with an upgrade to the fencing, landscaping and signage at this special site.
The Department for Environment and Water worked with Aboriginal communities and Friends of Parks volunteer group to ensure the best outcome in updating these visitor facilities at this iconic park.
