  • Space for two self contained certified campers...

    Free BBQ, tables and chairs... Next to the water... Main road close by... Near train tracks, but only a slow rumble as they crawl past... Public toilet close by and seems to be locked randomly between 8 - 8:30pm... Other campers stayed here too outside the designated area, also not self contained, but didn't seem to be any issue from security...

  • Lovely spot for a swim & rest.

    Bbq table & toilets right there. Quite exposed, with a main busy road right there but also has a nice feel to it anyway. Would stay there again

  • Beautiful spot, with table and right at the water, but the toilets were disgusting so I didn't stay during the night.

  • Not a bad spot for 2 campers, train noise in the morning but not overnight, loos kept open over night.

    A good spot for a swim and an outdoor shower. Downside is it's next to a road which had cars most of the night.
