Marsden Bay Reserve
3.5/5
Decent spot for a one night stopover.
Clear signage to park between. Only one flush toilet in female changing room, pretty basic and wasn't clean but oh well. No shower facilities either. Not very much shelter from wind or the weather but playground next to carpark for kids. Nice little bay to walk along/swim and pets allowed as long as you read the signs on where they are restricted. Pick up after yourself and your pets too 👍🏽

5.0/5
Travelled solo with no plans and not too sure where to go as I had my dog with me.
Ended up finding this gem, checked in no problem. The lady at the counter was lovely and gave me a few ideas of what to do around the town. Get 1GB wifi and 2 tokens for hot shower 6mins each which was plenty time for me. Got to pick my spot on the unpowered site along the estuary. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.
