4.0/5
Tiny site in a really gorgeous spot.
No amenities, and really only enough space for three or four vans (and maybe one more across the road). It's right next to the road, but there were no cars at night (it isn't a through road). Enough sand flies that we didn't sit outside, but the view from the van made it all worth it! We were one of two vans here.

3.5/5
Convenient spot, nice to have a free site with plenty of clean toilets.
It's under renovation so they're just port-a-potties for now, but totally fine. The site itself isn't particularly picturesque, but it's nice to be a five minute walk from the pretty beach. The current site is not very big, and there were 30 campervans/tents set up, so everyone was pretty close together. But that might be assuaged when the rest of it is opened up.

4.0/5
Very good place to stay and recharge your camper.
Staff is friendly, there are clean facilities, and the sites aren't too close to each other. It isn't a picturesque place, and it's pretty large and well-used, but it's comfortable. Only issue is that the kitchen was really crowded - not big enough for all the people. The bathrooms were a little buggy but otherwise spotless and had good hot showers with strong pressure, and we never had to wait in line to use them. $20 per person.

5.0/5
Gorgeous spot, really one of the best situated campsites we've seen.
Plenty of space so everyone gets a nice view and isn't too close to each other. Simple facilities (just toilets and water), but clean. And you get to pretend you're in Top of the Lake (the Paradise scenes were filmed here). $13 per adult, $6.50 per kid.
