    Great place for about 4-6 campers. On the beach. There are also two clean toilets. Also two picnic tables.

    Nice spot, it was 4 of us parking, but with better parking and smaller vans it would probably fit more. Toilets with sink and water (non potable). Benches with free BBQ table - not sure if it’s working, we did not try it. If full, there is also one more freedom parking which is not in this app, but you can find it on Google Maps (freedom camping) approx 1km away - grass area with toilets and it was less busy.

    Really underrated free camp. Super beautiful spot, with space for around 5-6 vans. Toilets are nice and close by. Only 2 other vans when we went. Beautiful drive to get there as well. We had reception with Spark.

    Very nice free camp, toilet lit in the evening/night with soap and toilet paper. Table/bench to sit and eat and barbecue area (we didn't manage to get it to work though). Lots of mosquitoes
