3.5/5
Nice quiet spot, quite busy with camper vans but very quiet crew when we were there.
If I’m paying $10/ head to camp then I’d expect the services to work. The water pumps for communal sinks didn’t work. On a good note the long drops were very clean and fresh with hand sanitizer supplied. BYO loo paper. No probs with mozzies or sandflies. No doubt be a fab stargazing spot but unfortunately overcast when I was there.

Great little spot.
Toilet was well used as the other one out of order. Climb up the little bank next to the canal to take in the sunset. Stunning. Ducks a bit friendly! Tried to eat the burger out of my boyfriends hand!

Awesome surf beach.
No wildlife spotted on my trip. Lots of surfers camping out, heaps of room though. Toilets well used but still sweet as, had loo paper. Best spots are to the right of the toilets, the others are more sheltered behind a row of trees but no sea view.

We got an unpowered site right across the little lane from the beach.
Pretty much by ourselves. Needed a site with a shower and this one was immaculately clean and spacious. Owner was laid back and friendly. Really good amenities, kitchen, laundry etc.

By the river side, nice and sheltered if you go under the trees.
One toilet with paper, pretty full but seen worse! Fireplace and picnic tables right near the loo though. $15/ night p/p. Not sure why people moan about the price?! It’s $15 I suggest people view Doc as a whole, that $15 Also pays for the convenience of toilet at the top of a mountain on your walk down the road. I think the service doc provides is amazing and I’m more than happy to pay where I can.

Awesome flat spots right on the inlet beach.
So quiet and peaceful, mostly sheltered from the wind. Great beach walk to the mouth of the inlet. Toilets 4/5. Rubbish station which is super useful. Beautiful sunset too.
