    It appears that there are 2 separate freedom camping sites for 3 vehicles each. Quiet, with beautiful views. Toilets hard to find after dark, use the passage ways through the bushes to the left of the sign. Nice clean toilets, cleaned daily

    Such a good quiet spot on the grass with an amazing view of the beach. Toilets are just a couple minute walk away. Very quiet at night just a couple local farmers driving by. Recommend

    What an amazing place to spend the night, the black sand are crazy and the ocean is hypnotic.

    Mega beautiful campsite located directly on the coast. toilets can be reached in 2 min walk and you just have a wonderful view of the sea, which is why we are staying here for the second time.

    We stayed at the grass site (3 campers allowed). In the end there were 6 in total. A ranger passed by and checked for the certificates, but had no problem with more campers than allowed per sign.

    Almost like a paradise (when wind calm down). Don’t forget to explore caves under parking at low tide. Definitely worth to detour…

    Beautiful view right by the sea! The black sand is also fantastic for a sunset stroll! However, we recommend the paid campsite behind it, as our camper was pelted with stones during the night. One of the side windows was broken...

    WOW...what a spot! Takes a little bit of effort to get here off the hwy(20 min). Incredible views and only 3 spots so pretty quiet. 60m walk to clean and well supplied toilets if not a bit dated. This place is well worth the short detour. Amazing views over the ocean with Caspian Terns(seabirds) surfing the wind. Decent cell coverage.

    Meh. Overcast when we were here 2 days ago. It was ok for a stopover. It'd be awesome if another camper didn't rock up at 3:30am with music blasting. Don't think it was locals as there was a 4th van there in the morning. Not much to do here but look at the view and use the toilet.

    This is a must do campsite for anyone! The black sand beach is incredible and the sunset views are stunning. A must visit.
