5.0/5
Found this park by accident heading to another.
Glad we did as it's one of the best we think. Gated access, bright information, rich office with friendly helpful staff. We took a powered site for 2 nights, the site was grass but despite heavy rain - no mud or puddles. Amazing surf beach right by camp (2 minutes walk - line of dune protect camp & and sun rise over beach...)
Clean well equipped facilities, clever mural on middle facilities giving seafood limits... and best each shower has its own instant hot water heater...50 cents a shower and worth ever cent! Great cafe real close... The only down side being the high pressure of the shower, (yeah) with no shower curtain. ..u have to work to keep your gear dry;)
What a great accident! I'm so glad to hear that you stumbled across our camp and enjoyed your time here. Thank you for your feedback about the showers - I'll pass this on to the managers and see if we can make some improvements in this area.

I often come here and hire a cabin as a base for activities in the area.
Always really friendly/helpful, with nice facilities. This time we took a powered site.....nice concrete pad provided.... nice modern clean bathrooms, free showers, good kitchen with under cover seating. Didn't get to use the free BBQ area... the only problem we had (nothing to do with owners! ), we arrived on the coldest night nationwide this year..brrrr
Am advised it has just been taken over by a new owner who formerly ran another well ranked Top Ten.

Off season with declining weather, so they were surprised to see us, but very helpful.
Womens bathrooms under renovation, so we used the mens (but we were the only people there so no problem). Good kitchen, eating area, TV room fully equipped with reading material. Showers $2 for 4mins. Sheltered set back from beach (5 min walk). Only warning .....this is the only camp here and during the short summer season this is an extremely busy area...)owner advises: 500+ people...).
