Moonlight Bay is a free, unpowered coastal camping area on Hammonds Road at Whites River on the Eyre Peninsula, roughly 20 minutes south of Tumby Bay. Set between two sandy beaches with direct water access, it is a bare-bones site suited to self-sufficient campers travelling with dogs.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome at no cost. There are no cabins or designated rooms, so you are setting up a tent, caravan, or camper trailer on the beach or on the hill overlooking the bay. Keep your dog under control at all times and on a lead on the beach specifically, as washed-up pufferfish are a real hazard. There are no facilities whatsoever on site: no toilets, no water, no bins. Bring everything your dog needs, including food, water, and waste bags, and pack it all out.
Getting there. Turn off the Lincoln Highway between Port Lincoln and Tumby Bay onto Hammonds Road. It is a gravel road but accessible by 2WD.

When to go. Beachside spots fill first, so arrive early to secure one, especially in peak season. Treat this as fully self-sufficient camping: if you cannot carry it in and carry it out, pick a different site.
