This campsite is a peaceful retreat with plenty of space and proximity to a beautiful beach, making it ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities like fishing and hiking. While there are no amenities, the tranquil setting and natural surroundings are highly appreciated by visitors. However, potential campers should be aware of the lack of facilities and the need for a National Park pass to access certain areas. The campsite is also dog-friendly, but pets are not allowed on the beach.

The Y was perfect for us. We had 4 adults, 1 child and 5 dogs. We camped over the first weekend in October and it was super quiet, and so peaceful. Ample room to set up and many different fire pits available for use. The space is grassy, well sheltered and the top spaces had a beautiful sea view. There was a walking track close by that my partner used that provided great views. We will be staying again. Thank you!
The Y is a large open area with plenty of room for all sorts of RVs. For the three days we stayed, we had the place to ourselves but even with others there would be ample room to not be near anyone else. The sound of the ocean puts you to sleep at night and the location feels safe and secure. A great base for exploring the region. You will need levelling chocks as there is a general slope and a parks pass for the immediate area.

Top spot, zero facilities, someone at Page Transport needs to learn how to swing a gate.

I loved the peaceful rugged back to nature feeling of the place I also loved the darkness at night and that there were so many stars in the sky.

The beach was so accessible and was very quiet.
The directions were very accurate but maybe a bigger sign at entry.

Plenty of camping space, very peaceful, great price. And dog friendly.
Great site, easy accesible. Good fishing at beach nearby.
Spacious area to camp, close to beach. Great place for bigger groups. A good walk to be had up the fire trail and back thru small township.

Quiet and peaceful. Plenty of clean grassy sites on relatively flat land amongst trees or up a gentle slope for a view of the ocean.

It’s a lovely spot and too far away from the beach
A great experience - booked late on Friday night and host accepted the booking within the hour with no fuss, site is in an amazing location on the doorstep of the National Park and we were fortunate to have it to ourselves (plus a few curious wallabies for company).
Finding this place was a bit of an adventure. Campsites were fairly large and included some shade trees. But the lagoon was marshy and water was distant. The bugs were very happy for our company, which kept us inside much of our time there.

Great place have been plenty of times
Thanks again
Open camping area that allows little pit fires!!! Scenery was beautiful and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! Will definitely camp there again. And it’s smaller cars friendly too.

The campground is good with no problems but it needs to be made clear that all areas around this camp is National Park and therefore no access for pets or anyone not holding a park pass. This includes the entire beach near the camp and as it was the selling point we were disappointed to be given this information by a park ranger who kindly didn’t fine us for having our dogs on the beach
This was a lovely spaced out area, although it was full there was enough space between sites and lots to choose from.
It was within walking distance from a beautiful beach.

Amazing location and great beach. but the flies were unbearable for the family and hand to leave early. Maybe got the wrong time of year.

We couldn't resist setting up our camper trailer at the top of the block to take in the stunning view. The ground is uneven up top and wouldn't be suitable for larger caravans, but if you have a smaller set up and are wiling to play roulette with the wind then it has to be done. There is acres of level and protected sites down below. We were there for 3 x nights and only saw three other caravans come and go. The beach is great for kids, especially at low tide and the walk through the National Park is worth the effort for the coastal views. This place is quite and relaxing with limited internet coverage.
