    Great spot to stay the night. Felt secure, even when the wind picked up. Toilets are maintained well. If you get low tide at the beach, you can walk over to Monkey Island.

    Beautiful place by the ocean. Toilets dry but clean. They have garbage cans here which is a big plus.

    Great campsite! And what a view! We found a spot even though we arrived quite late. There are toilets (note that they don't have locks) and rubbish bins.

    Right at the beach, clean long drop toilets, had a water tank but was empty, no sandflies. Got pretty busy on a monday night.

    NSC cars and tents allowed. Long drop toilets,but two doors were broken so can’t be locked.

    Great spot, plenty of space but not all of it is flat so it's best efforts. Rubbish and 4 toilets available

    Lovely views across the beach and can walk across to Monkey Island at low tide. Toilet is long drop but clean and nicer than most. It was Saturday and busy when we visited but worth it for the views.

    Rather unpleasant longdrops x 4. Busy site with people who look like they are there for a while. Right on fantastic beach so location everything.

    Nice spot to camp close to the beach. Almost no sandflies and quite good facilities. Rotting animal might stink when you are unlucky with the wind. Would recommend.
