Guide
Roaring Meg is the Prom’s southernmost hike-in campground, tucked into a fern-covered gully. It’s for walkers on the overnight route, not a drive-up stop: reach it on foot via the Telegraph Track. From Telegraph Saddle, allow about 13 km to camp; South Point adds an 8 km return. The payoff is having time at the mainland’s southern tip and the Lightstation without walking back to the main campground in one day.
Tall trees shade the cleared sites, with the creek nearby. There’s more than one camping area, and the ground varies: creekside spots can be rooty, while higher clearings offer flatter tent space. Toilets are available. Creek water is untreated, so treat it before drinking; pack your meals for the walk in.
