Fountain is behind the public toilets when coming from the roadside.
It's a face fountain, no dog water or bottle fill ability.

Amazing spot to spend a night.
Really beautiful and the bird song was incredible. $10 per person. Water is available but non-potable and I believe there are toilets (didn't check this out). It's not a very large area, so suggest getting in earlier rather than later. Lovely walk through the hills starts at the side of the camp area. It's technically a mountain bike track so take care, but lots of space on the path and a few locals apparently walk the track regularly.

5 stars for campervan facilities, 4 stars for a freedom camp spot.
Black water dump station with potable water available. There is a large bin provided as well as public toilet (I didn't check this out). Parking for about 10 vehicles. This is in the industrial area, so not quiet or romantic, but looks like it would be OK to freedom camp here overnight. Ocean view is pretty. It is right by the recycling station, so I expect it could get smelly.
