  • Nice flat campsite, located right by the car park.

    the wood tables are super handy, it has a running creek past campsite.

    The mosquitoes at night are very friendly so bring lots of repellent!!

    2 long drops and still no running water so bring your own (water)

    Great location to get to the waterfalls and walks.

  • Nice peaceful, clean site that wasn't crowded even in the summer holidays.

    There's lots of space, and a babbling stream nearby. It's close to the beach and a friendly dog (Brucie) comes by in the evenings to say hi and beg for scraps.

    Facilities are limited - only two picnic tables and no bbqs, so you'll have to bring your own cooking stuff. There's no drinking water plumbed in, so remember to bring a kettle so you can boil your own water or bring extra fresh water. Be aware that it's a long drop toilet too!

    Only downside was that there were quite a few mozzies so don't forget your bug spray or citronella!
