East Cape Campground
4.5/5
super fun campsite with all the cows wandering round you while you camp.
We stayed here with the intent of tenting but ended up sleeping in the car as it was quite windy, so bare that in mind. hard to find level ground if you don't get in early but otherwise fantastic! we watched the sun come up then went to lighthouse and found wild horses.
additional info: now costs $15 per adult, showers only accept $1 coins and you need 2 $1 coins for 4 minutes of shower time.

Super nice little spot!
it was quiet, clean, and cute. despite being next to a lake I didn't experience many midgies or mozzies. the drive to get there is over many kms of narrow gravel roads and tight turns so just be aware your car will be very dusty. will go again for sure!
