Loved seeing the penguins and dolphins!
Very windy but well set up to offset the wind at the campsites. Could see the kitchen and washrooms getting quite busy if the campsite was full.

Beautiful campsite with great common area and kitchen.
2 min walk to the beach and a tramp up the hill behind the campsite. Owner was very nice and the honey we bought from the stand out from was delicious. No cell service but free 400mb wifi. Clean showers and toilets.
