Beautiful place.
Beach is stunning and some amazing houses to look at. 4 freedom camp spots, one is on an angle so pretty right. They are on a slight slope but was fine. Toilets nice and clean. BBQs were out of order. The location makes this, it was so nice walking along the beach in the morning.

Amazing, this would be a 10 if the parking space wasn’t on a slant.
Views amazing, lovely and quiet, watched the sunrise, toilet and bbq near by. Forest gives it some privacy. Only 4 spots and we arrived at 7:30 and managed to get the last spot.

Parking spots on a steep angle from left to right. No way I could sleep here. Moving on.

Perfect!
Lots to watch - boats & jetskis heading in & out over the bar. Floating pontoon just behind the park, safe lagoon swimming on one side & the glorious ocean on the other. Beautiful big pine trees giving you shade & if you're lucky (like I was) uninterrupted views of the coast & islands. Tarseal but hey ho hard to beat!

I can agree with that.
One of the best camping sites we have been at, so far. There are clean public toilets 24/7. What I liked most: big trees and falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean.

No, it definitely is.

Premium location under big trees but still on the tarseal.
Coin operated BBQ's, picinic tables, surf breaks.....very civilised living. Surrounded by holiday homes so likely a busy spot in summer
