Haven't wanted to leave!
Awesome spot, but quite windy. Carpark offers more sheltered experience as apposed to parking down on the beach. Toilets are a short walk away with recycled water. Says you have to be gone between 9am and 5pm but haven't had any issues from our 2 nights stay.
Carpark has little space for large campers, some taking 2 parks and some taking 5 while parking lengthways. Carpark is also getting overrun by sand which gets blown over the dunes. Love it in our van though!

4.0/5
Awesome amenities, hot shower (too hot for me actually) with a button that only gives you 10 secs of water time, but you can hold it down or keep pressing it endlessly.
Main toilet/shower locked in night but disabled toilets left open. About 1000 geese, ducks and swans around so be prepared for friends at the slightest rustle of a bread bag. Bird poop everywhere, but an awesome lakeside spot, heaps of carparking and room for busses, vans, campers, caravans. Even a tape by the little Riverway for filling containers. 10 min bike ride to New World/Town. Can see a public BBQ 5 mins walk away, lots of tree shade cover and 'private' parking, staggered parks.
Locals have a few regular campers here with dogs and cats but are harmless and friendly. Seen a few cats and dogs in campers. Awesome spot.

Awesome spot, heaps of parks but very busy.
Toilet lights are really bright and don't turn off at any point of the night. Mixture of vans, campers and busses parked here.

Basic longdrop toilet.
Awesome river, steep steps to get to and from. Big grassy area at the end of road, with smaller grassy areas on the side leading up to it and offering more private spots. Long gravel and skinny road to get there.

HUGE domain area.
Grassy, not the fattest, bumps galore. 2 long drop toilets. Lake has beautiful birdlife. Sunset was awesome at very end of domain, sunrise was beautiful on the left.
