National park in Australia

There is perhaps no better example of a better coastal national park in South Australia other than Coffin Bay National Park. Being just 50 km west of the Eyre Peninsula's regional centre, Port Lincoln, the park has many amazing coastal landscapes to offer.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A nice small lookout near the middle of the park that offers a great glimpse of the eastern half of the park – including good views of the mountains further affield Coffin Bay and the beaches near Almonta Beach.
Enclosed bay, nice spot for kayaking and other light recreational boat activities.
This campground is perhaps one of the closest you can get to a relatively secluded sandy beach in this park. It contains 7 unpowered campsites, each with the ability to host up to 5 guests and 1 vehicle. Long-drop toilet facilities are available. A special overflow campground also exists to host an additional 40 guests if the main campground is full.
Contains 4 campsites (unpowered) at the western end of Seven Mile Beach. Has basic long-drop toilet facilities and a good nearby coastal dune!
This is one of the more isolated campgrounds, having only one singular campsite with the capacity to only hold up to 5 people. No toilet facilities are present either. But, if you're still up for the challenge, it's only 1 km from Sensation Beach and there's a high likelihood the beach will be all yours.
Although one of the most remote campgrounds in the park, it also has one of the most varied options with 7 campsites, each either allowing for 5, 10 or 20 persons. Nonetheless, it's still a great spot to stay the night and is not too far away from Point Sir Isaac.
The biggest campground in the park by far with 19 different campsites (though all are still unpowered). It is next to Yangie Bay, a nice spot to relax in the afternoons and kayak (especially in the afternoons).
A campground on the north side of Yangie Bay with a singular large unallocated + unpowered campsite, but has a maximum vehicle capacity of 7.
The park is a little more than a half-hour drive from Port Lincoln, the regional centre of the Eyre Peninsula. From Port Lincoln, head south on B100 which will eventually head west once you leave town.
