2.5/5

Set a fair way back from the beach and the time I stayed here I got well bitten by mosquito's, so bring your repellant if you stay here.
Good facilities though with flush toilet and a fire pit. There's other camping options like Mutton Cove or Anapai not too far away, so if your legs can handle it, I'd consider taking a looksy at those.
