Wow! Great place to stay.
We visited for the first time last week and stayed 4 days. Beautiful safe swimming beach, we were lucky the water was very warm and had several swims. The clarity of the water is also amazing. Long sandy bay, good for swimming, fishing and other water activities.
Good choice of campsites either beachside or slightly further back. Plenty of shade in many parts of the camp. And generally most sites are reasonably flat.
Plenty of long drop toilets all the way along the campsite areas. Cold showers, with good pressure, plenty of these also.
Excellent BBQ area with free BBQ, sinks, BBQ tables with board games painted on them. All under a well covered area overlooking the beach.
Composting facilities available for left over food, excellent system they have arranged here. You can do this yourself, or you have the option of taking a small bucket with lid and bringing to them daily or when suits for them to sort food for you.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Tho we did find the office was closed most of the day, when we went for advice, maps etc.
Road in is a long winding narrow gravel road which can be a bit "hairy" in places if you meet another vehicle. Thankfully we had no problems with our motorhome and trailer. But could be interesting in the busier times.
Fantastic views on the road in, well worth a stop in the few places you can park and look over the sea.
Bookings can be made for sites, we did use this system tho. We arrived with cash but eft pos is available also.
Well worth the drive, to such a peaceful area, we will defintely be back
