Good spot to stay for a night for campers of all sizes.
Large gravel parking area suitable for the numbers of vehicles allowed. We felt perfectly safe. Near new toilet block.

Ok spot next to the wharf.
There's absolutely no way to fit in 10 campervans or even regular sized cars between the signs. Was already way overcrowded at 17:00 on Thursday in September.

Be careful after rainy days, this place can be flooded.
We stayed there 2 nights. One after sunny days and it was perfect. And à second one after 3 days of rain. We were surprised by the flood in the middle of the night and some people got stucked.

Quite some space available.
Beautiful spot with toilets. Felt safe also as a female solo traveler, in fact, I was planning to stay a second night. But during the day a man came and kept staring at me standing outside his car, and it just felt safer to leave. Other than that I would definitely recommend (also close to Wellsford with all the facilities).
