    Very lovely area. Clean toilets. There is a sink behind them where you can wash dishes. A bin to dump your trash too. Grass on the parking spots, but well maintained. Feels very safe and peaceful. Loved it!

    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.
