    This is a fairly big grassy campground next to a lagoon.The dump toilet was clean and not smelly.

    We hit Slope point when a storm came in from the South so we didn't venture far from the camping area and only stayed for a one night pit stop.

    so peaceful and lovely, lots of space and right near the beach.

    There’s a tire swing, toilet and outdoor sink. Nicely blocked from trees for wind. Perfect spot for the night. Don’t take the road from the top (school road)

    Was very busy when we stayed there.

    Toilet ok. View ok. I would rather recommend to go to Curio Bay campsite directly at the beach and with the chance to see penguins.

    This one is nice. But not too special.

    Stayed 1 night

    It's a nice grass campground next to a lagoon.The dump toilet was clean and not smelly and there's a sink with water to clean the dishes.

    Lots of families and people with dogs. It can get a bit windy, but no sandflies.:)
