Whistling Frog Café & Resort at Cathedral Caves
Cute wee spot in the Bush.
They have a bar and restaurant onsite- we went down for happy hour and had chips, the food coming out looks amazing though! We got a powered site, close to facilities, good showers and clean toilets. The kitchen is good, it is a wee bit small and got very crowded at breakfast and dinner times. Overall a nice place to stay and if you do you must nip up the hill and check out the cathedral caves!

Weirs Beach Recreation Reserve
Nice spot close to water, it’s large enough for a lot of campers, tents, caravans and Larger motor homes- it does fill up though.
There is a long drop style toilet and a outdoor tap and bench, very wet and muddy around it. Watch out for sand flies in the evenings. The wee beach behind the site it calm and you can sit under the tree and watch the tide go right out. It would be a good swimming spot in the heat of summer!

Brighton Domain
What a place!
We loved it there, the beach, the view of the moon rising in the evening and the ease of a restful quiet night.
We didn’t use the onsite facilities as they weren’t overly clean, although it does state you must be fully self contained to stay, so we didn’t mind.
There’s a playground and large field so suitable for children too.

Patiti Point
We arrived late so couldn’t see much, but when the sun rose over the water the next morning it was lovely to wake up to a beautiful spot.
Enough room for a few campers, overall lovely spot.
