    We had a nice stay! Was quiet throughout the night and the two washrooms were clean! Got busy later on in the evening. You also turn onto an unmarked road, don’t be scared just keep going and then you’ll see the signs! We didn’t have service but still had a great stay!

    Tucked away so nice and quiet! There are toilet’s which is always a positive. Only 2 other people when we stayed here the other night. Next to a farm.

    Decent spot - probably space for about 10 vans. Sandflies not as bad as expected. Quiet at night. Nice flush toilets. We had phone signal

    There's plenty of space, and lots of people parked there that evening. We arrived at 5 PM and got a good spot. There's cell service until 6 PM, then nothing until 7 AM, and then it comes back. The farm next door is closed. There are toilets, but I didn't use them. It's really just for one night, nothing special.

    Lots of space. 3 clean toilets. Quiet and dark! A few sandflies. Poor reception for phones.

    Tons of space and okay cell service. The toilets have running water so they felt luxury. The sand flies were moderately bad.

    Sandflies everywhere and they do not leave you alone, been bitten over 30 times just from being outside for 5 mins. Had to have the doors shut and there was still loads inside the van. Spots are uneven and so many vans that you are crammed together. Worst spot we've stayed so far.

    Really nice place with clean flush toilets, running water, and soap. We arrived around 7 pm and got one of the last spots. It’s quiet at night and if you’re lucky you’ll have some fog sticking to the mountains in the morning making for a great view!

    Toilets were okay, tones of sandflies so come prepared. As there’s not many free campsites coming down the west coast this is the fastest I’ve seen a campsite fill up. Designated spots were filled at about 5pm, a lot of people had to find elsewhere.
