Friendly, helpful and warm welcome (free and warm banana muffins!!).
Encouraged glow worm walk with helpful hints on other available activities. Allowed us to use Rangers discount even though we could not find the coupon on our phone (thank you for trusting us). Facilities were kept very clean - I think she cleaned twice a day and the campground was not even full! Overall a wonderful experience!

Buy your vegetables from her garden.
They were delectable! Friendly, warm and helpful service. Same price for powered and unpowered sites. Large area to camp but limited shade from trees. Good kitchen facilities. Bathroom would benefit from a bit more ventilation. Showers are on a 7-min timer but it is free. Dip in the river was an experience to remember (especially fighting those sandflies on the way back).

Flush toilets, plenty of taps (boil water warning) and outdoor sink for kitchen/laundry.
Large campground with little disturbance from other campers. Powered sites on the right side of the grounds. Nice wonder down to the stream (or maybe it was more like a creek). Negligible number of sandflies. $6 per adult per night.

Laid back, friendly and helpful people managing the campground.
Large sites with hedges marking some sites (lots of privacy). Free wifi! Kitchen facilities a little lacking (Bring your own cutlery/plates) but great outdoor gas burners and BBQ available. Honesty/trust system used for showers ($2 for 5 min) and laundry). Enjoyable stay with easy access to the beach.

Great views but very boggy and slippery in the winter.
We were stuck at least 3 times during our overnight winter stay.

Nice central location.
Good facilities -kitchen and showers.
Yes we are very fortunate being the only holiday park right in centre of town, although you wouldn't know as set among large specimen trees that give it such a peaceful tranquil feel

Very busy during Christmas period but great crowd of well-behaved campers.
$28 for two people for non-powered sites is a fair price. Facilities are basic but well kept. Hot showers are free but limited to 4 minutes. All three camp grounds are nice camping spots next to the beach.

Isolated.
Great views. Plagued by sand flies but if you get past them it's lovely. Long drop toilets on a windy day is a must experience.

Sites are spacious.
Basic toilets and sinks next to sites. My only complaint was the location of the sites which was right next to a busy highway. Traffic continued all night. Went over to the main site in the morning to use the showers, which was nice.

Powered sites overlook the ocean.
Facilities are clean and tidy. Good for an overnight stay. A stone's throw from Fleurs Restaurant, which is expensive but worth it for a fancy dinner.
