  • Sorry but as a solo traveller I can not recommend it even with armour guard patrols.

    Woken at 2am someone hanging around and trying to get in along with homeless people and alot of daytime noise. Sad for Onerahi.

  • It would be a nice spot if it wasn’t for the kids driving fast past the camping spots and hanging out with the engines on and loud music… Toilet right next to the camping spot, not very clean.

  • Feels not really safety.

    At night very noisy. Drunk people who were driving fast und did donuts on the street. People who was showing there noisy bikes each others.. Someone was shooting around or was playing with fireworks early mornings. Terrible night!

  • We can not recommend this place.

    Not many other tourists, local people parking and leaving during the night and making lots of noise. People were showing off there motorbikes and cars. Loud explosions at 4am. So we left then. Strange place.

    Toilets were okay.

    Clean. Accross from clean toilet block, from playground. Along the road. Estuary accross the road.

    BUT cars were driving fast, doing burnouts, loud meeting and talking of locals around the toilet, until roughly 1am. It didn't feel really safe. Not a place I would come back to.

  • Nice spot for 4-5 vehicles on the water.

    Well marked and easy to find. Bathrooms were super close and clean & there was a playground. However it is located on a road and could hear some cars speed through the area later at night

  • Lovely place to stay.

    Clean toilets. Nice playground for kids and great view. Yes the spots are sloping but what do you expect for free.

  • Great free spot on a quiet road right by the water.

    Public toilets, a play ground and bench seats overlooking the water all available. As someone else mentioned, some of the designated area has an incline which is not ideal for large motorhomes... but we made do for the night and would stay again.

  • Free section big enough for 4 vehicles, we managed to get a flat spot but apparently some are sloped.

    Right near the water, rocky beach. Picnic tables on beach. Playground close by. Toilets and fresh water available. Street was busy during the day as the boat launch is very close. Quieter in the evening.

  • While there is a lot of flat parking on the coast locally the authorised spot rises steeply at the back so the area is not practical for anything other than short vehicles unless you get there 1st and

    park along the bay. There is a public toilet opposite but otherwise can't understand why this spot has been allocated for freedom camping.
