Aussie Bay Campsite
We arrived late afternoon and the place was full, there are only really a few spots ideal for pitching a tent but these were all full so we decided to find ourselves a place at the end of the carpark in
the bush. It was right on the waterfront and easy enough to find when put into our GPS. It was a beautiful drive to the campsite. Nice, cheap stay.

Corner Creek Campsite
Staying here was an awesome experience!
To get to the spot you have to drive on loose stone and cross streams - I came here in the summer in my Nissan Cube, it was difficult, but doable. If you pop this campsite into your Apple Maps you may need to drive further till you find it. You'll know for sure when you get there. The beach was rugged and beautiful, the sites were well maintained and the shelter provided from the trees did its best to protect us from the harsh winds. For a campsite in the middle of nowhere the toilets were of an OK state and the picnic area big and roomy with a sink. Such an awesome place if you want to get away and get back to nature!

The Camp
I can't say a bad thing about this campsite.
We tented with our two dogs and it was bliss! The bathrooms were clean, the showers hot and strong, the views amazing and the kitchen big and equipped! We got there early so got to pick a beautiful spot, sheltered from the wind thanks to the trees but still offering a beautiful view. The only downside for me was, the rules were that all dogs had to be on lead (obviously) but three times dogs came running through our site when their owners walked them off-lead.
