This campsite is the perfect spot for anybody looking for a basic place to stay.

It’s a huge field, just be aware that there are splodges of cow poop around the place. After reading some of the other reviews, the toilets have actually been updated and now have flushing toilets and cold showers. They are working on getting hot water into the facility too. There are no cooking facilities so make sure you have your own. There is an honesty box and a book to sign in a small office type building near the entrance and Len, the owner, is a really lovely man.

The whole area is really remote so make sure your vehicle is topped up with fuel and have plenty of supplies!

Overall, a wonderful experience!

The beach is just opposite the site, I wouldn’t recommend a swim but if you’re a nifty surfer then it’s a great beach for the waves!

The lighthouse is about a 20 minute drive (if you drive really slowly) on a gravel road from the campsite but it’s the only campsite around the area. It’s a really lovely walk up to the lighthouse with wonderful views of the sun coming up in the morning. There’s also a car park and toilets.

The road from the little town before is about 20kms long and has patches of gravel and proper road along it. Allow extra time if you’re in an older car/van but it’s do-able, we have a 1993 van and it made it!
