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.

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.

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!
