Great Location,nestled in a lovely sheltered paddock with many areas to set up camp. 500 metres or thereabouts walking distance to a beautiful beach which was Great for a dip.

A beautiful place. We had the place to ourselves. A varied range of sites, we chose to go a bit higher & got sea views as well as protection from the weather. Follow the track & you really are right at the sea.

The site is adjacent to the national park and Badger Beach but still has sites protected from the wind. Plenty of peaceful walks.
