It's actually a helipad. But I've seen people camped on it.

Camp 1 near Flynns Tarn on way to Scott Kilvert (after climbing Cradle Mtn). Excellent spot RHS of the track just along from the ck crossing. On Chapmans map approx. 138/843. There's also camping at Scott Kilvert Hut platform.
Camp 2 approx. 700m past Windermere Hut on LHS on a grassy area just before a ck crossing with a perfect flat rock to use as a large table. Approx. 138/742.
Camp 3 Mt Doris at approx. 208/645. Make sure you climb to the top of the new steps then look for a spot on the RHS approx. 50-100m off the track. A good spot to leave the tent with gear in it in the morning as you climb Ossa. Then come back for a rest in the tent before continuing.
Camp 4 DuCane Hut has a picnic platform and hunting around some ok flattish spots (no sleeping in hut but it makes a great kitchen area just watch out for the holes in the floor)
Camp 5 approx. 30 minutes past Windy Ridge on RHS is an amazing campsite under the trees (could fit maybe 3 tents) just before a bridge and ck crossing. Good water. Approx. 243/559
Camp 6 on the beach in front of Echo Pt hut. There are 2 great tent spots here right on the sand (and others in the trees) Hut has an excellent coal burner.

I tend to think that intolerance / the general level of noisy others out there is more an imagined imposition than real.
In all honesty and many times through, (with hundreds of others) it's only ever been that commercial hut at Windy Ridge that's been mentioned as notably noisy.
