Nice camping, good toilet, place to wash dishes under a cover, not so far from of the road.
The best part is the river close of the camping.

Definitely a highlight of the trip for us.
The site might be out of the way but the restaurant, campsite, beaches, and caves nearby make it a worthwhile destination.
The restaurant boasts homemade foods, jams, organic produce, a variety of wines and beers, batista coffee. If you're not up for that there are barbecues, a well stocked kitchen, or the local Four Square. The kitchen is well equipped and clean. Also the toilets and showers are in good condition (coin operated showers, they can give you change at the cafe).
The tent sites are large and separated from each other by trees and bushes. Powered and unpowered sites are close to all the facilities.
Try the jam!

The camp is inside of the racecourse, so you need to drive in via the main driveway.
The camp had the best toilet so far, clean with light, toilet paper, and good smell. There is drinkable water, and the place was very calm and spacious. On the far side of the seating block, there is a place meant to wash of and water horses - and possibly intrepid backpackers.
The best place that we found to our first day of the year.

Good - easy to find , a lot room, the camp provides a kitchen area and good toilets.
It is conveniently located next to a general store.
Bad - I didn't have signal in my phone. Plenty of campsites even late in the day.
