Nice view but no morning or afternoon sunlight so pretty cold everything gets really wet.
Basins for washing but no running water. Loads of loud people showing up around 9pm and leaving at 6am to avoid camping fees. Pretty bad experience.

Awesome spot and if you're after a unique view look up Explore Pelorus sea kayak tours.
We did a two day trip and rented kayak/camping gear ect. Was incredibly reasonable price wise and Neil who runs the operation is a real nice guy and gave us loads of tips and info regarding the French Pass area. Sorted us a hot shower, coffee and somewhere to leave our van whilst we were away. Can not recommend enough. One of the best experiences we had on our trip :)

There is NO camping allowed here anymore.
All camp fees for peninsula are out of date too. Be prepared to pay $30 minimum per night for a tent alone in the area.
