Nice place with plenty of space.
2 toilets that were ok. It is for free but there is a donation box. Very close to the sea. A guy also put up his tent there.

It was quite late when we started to look for a spot but this one came up.
We came off the main drag and it was a dirt track for many many kms, take your time as some don’t the dust is real bad. When we arrived it’s a large grass patch a few benches and seats with 2 x toilets. They were open not the best but clean and had t rolls in them. It’s a free site but donation box near toilet so we popped one in before we left in the morning. We only had our car but for small caravans and medium campers this is an ideal site but a long way on the dirt coast road. Make sure you have enough gas to get where you want to go before coming. 🤙

Note - the last ~10km on gravel road - good to keep in mind.
Other than that, a handy camping spot for the night, lots of spaces

X3 gravel patches for vehicles.
Large grass area opposite with small playground, unsure if this is also for campers?
Already 2 vehicles there when we arrived so we're lucky to get the last spot.
Toilet block was locked and unsure about the free WiFi?
Long way to this site along a gravel road, and easy to get lost. No views at the site, but the beach is a short walk away and it is stunning

Beautiful spot, we arrived at dark, almost missed the turn (gravel road for atleast 10mins, turn left when you hit first small settlement of houses, metal/wooden 'Toko Beach Resort' sign) Big playground
, super close to river (20 metres at most) Beach a little further on (100m maybe) Free WIFI. Fun for families. Bit flooded in toilets (2 available on playground side) and also flooded allocated camper area, but with gravel underfoot, it was fine. Thanks for having us!

Great quiet spot!
Nice and flat with bays for campervans. Playground, toilets and large field for game of touch or a few hits of the golf balls. FREE WIFI!!! Set up and paid for by the locals, leave a donation, $10 is usual and well worth paying. Bit of a gravel road but easy to drive about 15 miles from Milton township. Definitely reccomend.

Nice little spot on the edge of the domain, can imagine it being busy in summer but in may we were the only ones there, worth the drive

Once you've turned off main road take the first turning right.
Long but beautiful drive along gravel road. Don't be put off, we had the site to ourselves, 2 clean flushing toilets. 3 gravel areas for parking, large grass field to play out on. no beach view. Lovely beach walk though. Very peaceful.

Arrive before the sun sets.
It was very dark when we arrived but had we arrived in daylight, it was well marked on the building. Beautiful night sky loaded with brilliant stars. Bathrooms were roomy and fairly clean, playground.

Very quiet spot, mid April we were the only ones there.
Long gravel road out to pretty water views but not much else. Toilets weren't very pleasant but we had a nice quiet sleep.

We couldn't access the camp (in June) because of a flood of the nearby river which drown the road halfway.

Not really worth the drive out (13km unpaved road).
Toilets where not very clean and beach while picturesque not suitable for swimming.

It was one of the best spots we stayed.
Bit of a gravel road but totally OK in large Jucy Casa Motohome. The stars where just spectacular. It is a must stay, all the local holiday parks are pretty empty unless it is peak season in summer. We were there at the beginning of May.
