The North Arm Campsite reviews are mixed, with some positive and negative points mentioned. The campsite serves a purpose, and the toilet is relatively well-maintained. The ranger is friendly, and the sandy ground is a plus. However, there are reports of possums, so campers should keep their food secure. The campsite can be dark, and the sites are small, which may be a challenge for bigger tents.
The views are not spectacular from the campsite itself, but a short walk will take you to the coast. The campsite is located in a forest, with complete immersion in the bush, meaning no views of the stars or sun. The absence of atmosphere and views can be a drawback for some campers.
The campsite receives a neutral to bad rating from most reviewers, except for one bad review, which mentioned that the campsite serves no purpose and is not worth the time. Overall, the North Arm Campsite is a basic, no-frills option for campers, and it's essential to set realistic expectations before visiting.
