ABSOLUTELY NO TENTS ARE ALLOWED

This site is a suggested site only, meaning that it is not prohibited under the bylaw but also not designated.

Consider this an off-road overnight parking where you won't be issued an infringement notice by the Council, as long as the below rules are being obeyed:

Certified self-contained only, max three nights
No more than two vehicles per site at most – move on if you have to
Be considerate of other users of the space and don’t block access and exit points
All sites are very popular in summer, arrive early to avoid disappointment
Many sites are quite small and won’t accommodate large campers
