3.5/5
This was our first time at a 'top 10' and have to say we found it very average.
It's very expensive for a campsite ($28pppn - this was for a powered site but they had no option for non-powered). It's in a good location (next to the beach and about 10mins to town) and the facilities are very clean. They have quite small sites which are allocated on arrival, so you don't get to choose where you set up. It's not bad but we have stayed in much better campsites for a lot less.

It's in a nice little spot and very peaceful.
It's free, so you can't really complain :)
The camping area is quite small so you may struggle to find a space when it's busy and/or you arrive late. Public toilets are clean enough but cubicle doors don't shut properly or lock.

Nice cheap campsite.
Large sites and old but clean shower/toilets. Take some coins: shower is $1 for 4mins and rubbish disposal is $2. You do now need to book but its easy to do online when you arrive.

Lovely, peaceful campsite.
It is on the more pricey side for a camp but it's very spacious and has clean facilities. Few things could be improved (i.e. working soap dispensers in bathrooms and some kind of waste disposal) but nothing that majorly effected our stay. We enjoyed our night and would stay again.
