    When you get here you'll see a stop sign and a private property sign. Don't be deterred that's Glens house. Go inside and speak with Glen and he'll show you around and where you can camp. Nice manicured grass, great for tents.

    Glen welcomed us and showed us around his garden and fruit trees. We spent the evening by the fire, playing ping pong and chatting. It was such a lovely evening and a really nice experience.

    We were the only van there that night. The place is quite large and there are free toilets open 24/7. Watch out for mosquitoes. Also, there's a train opposite the toilets on the other side of the road, so avoid parking too close to avoid hearing it.

    Great evening with Glen! You have to go after the public toilet where it’s written private property (this is his house) and just after you reach a public ground. Glen will welcome you and introduce you to his garden and his ping pong and pool table. Don’t miss this free camp :)

    Shout for Glen, he is an absolute legend and the nicest guy you'll meet. You can stay on his grass for free, we ended up staying a few nights and playing ping pong with him. He gave us unreal recommendations of places to go. Top man! Thanks Glen

    The place is perfect; just go past the stop sign where the public restrooms are, and Glen will be at his house on the left. You can shower and even sleep there for a ridiculously low price. You can also play ping pong with him and have a few beers. If you're looking for a place to sleep, come here; Glen will be more than happy to have you.

    The campsite is now located on Glen's property. Past the stop sign is a large meadow where camping is permitted. A very pleasant evening playing ping pong with Glen. Public toilets are available, and a washing machine and shower can be used for a fee at Glen's. Definitely recommended!

    Basic toilet facilities. Don't get scared by it all being faced off you can still stay next to the toilets or just after the "private" sign. Yell out for Glen who lives in the house with that sign. He is the most friendly guy you'll meet and can show you platypus 5min away from his house and gladly tell what to see in the area:)
