    Doc campground

    Lovely quiet campground, right on safe beach, no toilet you need chemical loo

    Dogs allowed on lead, and off lead on beach

    Off the grid type camping

    Doc lady was very pleasant, and you need to show you have a chemical loo and vax pass

    Would highly recommend this camp ground

    For peace and quiet!!

    Nice flat campground.

    Went fishing on the beach and caught some salmon and mullet. Only one other camper there and it was the end of November. No toilets. The trees in the pictures have grown up quite high so not really any water views but they give good protection from bad weather.

    Beautiful beach camp, and only a small charge per night.

    Rubbish collection 3 times per weeks, good swimming, no toilets.

    Cramped in peak season, but a great spot next to a great beach.

    We didn't stay the night, but are keen to stay another time outside of the Christmas seasoin

    Beautiful place direct on the beach.

    Welcome for a swim in the morning - you must be self-contained.

    Lovely setting.

    Very cramped in peak season. Facilities are old and in serious need of upgrading. Water pressure in showers is non-existent. Management very pleasant and hospitable.
