Nice and quite campground, facilities with flushing toilets were fine.
Not too many spots so do not show up to late. Beware of sand flies. Nice walking tracks nearby and it was really dark during the night, big plus.

Awesome experience to watch penguins after sunset!
Must do. Facilites were okay, cold showers, dumping and water station were available. Nice picnic area with ocean view, but the lights from the Harbour can be annoying. Lots of parking spaces but officially only 10 vehicles for overnight camping allowed. We were about 20 overnight campers and no one checked.
Can recommend!
