    very quiet beautiful spot, with lots of space.

    felt very safe. it can get quite windy (as anywhere else). Toilets open at night and well-lit, water fountain and rubbish bin.

    there’s a little forest walk which is stunning and heaps of birdlife all around.

    Very nice location.

    Space for 36 campers. Very silent. Toilets are okay but no very good. Nice walks on the coast. Would stay here again!

    Very nice, clean and quite spot to stay.

    A nice little walk at the beachside and a little forest possible.

    Toilets were closed while I was here due to some problems with the water but Dixie toilet was provided.

    We stayed for 1 night but could easily stayed longer.

    Such a beautiful environment, quiet and beautiful when the sun goes down. Plenty of space for campers and a clean toilet. Loved it.

    Great spot with a nice view on all sides.

    Toilets were clean, water and soap available. Mostly big campervan when we were there with our van. Nice piece of forest at the top of the peninsula, where we went to view the sunset. Nice to see the big birds sit up all high in the trees.

    Quite an exposed campsite on hard standing.

    Was very busy with local circus folk when we went but lots of spaces (approx 15). Toilets were adequate, no drinking water but large bin. Horses on the beach and lots of dogs, scenic area.

    One of the best freedom camping sites I’ve stayed at. Scenic beach, flush toilets, quiet, tons of room. Would absolutely recommend.

    Great place with only two other freedom campers tonight.

    Unbelievable!any of the other places north of here were already at capacity. Looks like this place could accommodate about 30 self contained units if everybody parks according to the rules. Nice grass, super views, gorgeous sunset, a bit breezy, and unbelievably quiet. Clean restroom and trash bins available. Love it!

    Plenty of room to park beside the grass reserve and near the water.

    Very tranquil spot when we camped there in December.

    This is a lovely parking spot for self contained campervans/motorhomes.

    Waterfront location, toilets available. Lovely estuary views and lots of birdlife especially black swans.
