    Nice spot, plenty of space but only issue is that the parking area is on grass and on rainy days you might be stuck if with heavy vehicles. We have a Toyota Hiace and decided to not stay. Didn't check toilets but the area seems to be well serviced.

    Clean toilets, space to wash his dishes. access to the beach. garbage. This is a good free camp, quiet. We spent two nights there, and we were the only ones on the spot.

    Perfect spot. Room for about 10 motorhomes. Easy to reach with a paved road. Nice views of the ocean and surrounding hills. Bit windy when we were there. New toilet building with 2 very clean flush toilets. Even a watertap outide (not potable) and a trashcan. Good phone signal. Would recommend staying here.

    Beautiful location, on the edge of the estuary. Nice walk on the sand at low tide. At this time of year, there were only 3 of us vehicles so it was perfect. We could only hear the little birds. New sanitary block, toilets, sink for washing up and large work surfaces for cooking sheltered (from the rain)
