Awesome spot for a few nights of peace and quiet, right next to an amazing stretch of beach.
Booking was quick and easy so had no issues with that and $20 can seem a bit steep but the toilet was very clean and ended up being cheaper than most DOC sites as there was 4 of us. Might have just been me but you need to push the keypad in once you enter the code - had to ring the council as thought the code was wrong!!
The road there is a very dusty and bumpy one but our 7m campervan handled it fine and was worth the effort to get to. As well as the main beach there is also a small sheltered beach to the right, which was good for the kids plus there’s a couple of short walks over the in the forest area. Can’t wait to go back if we’re up that way again.
