Reviews
"Cozy little campsites withgoodfacilities. Lots of birdlike to enjoy and a typical Westernport beach close by."
"Love this place. Secluded camp site so close to the beach. Rangers always around and on hand as needed. Facilities for campers are well maintained."
"Great little camp-site with a short walk to the beach. Facilities are limited and are getting old, but the staff do well to keep them clean. The big bins are emptied on Tuesdays and can get very full during peak times. Sites vary in size and the access roads can be tight. Some water taps on the map don't exist."
"Spectacular playground in a beautiful setting. The elements are simple but kids will still enjoy them. Seating available to watch kids in the shade on a sunny day. Close to beach, good parking, nearby toilets and the opportunity to explore the park which campers use in high season. Bins provided but if full, take home your rubbish. A rotunda is nearby (in front of toilets) with bbq and plenty of seating by plus a tap to fill your water bottles. Across the road is a small shop “Tulum” but didn’t have time to explore. Plenty of picnic tables in the park. Please read the signage on what you can and can’t do, about local wildlife and parking restrictions. Fabulous place to enjoy the local environs."
"It’s a calm and quiet white sand beach. But lots of seaweed in the shores. Good spot for family and fishing. Small area for car park facility and rest room available. Just cross the road small park for kids to play. The beach is really awesome . Good picnic spot and it’s a clean beach. Highly recommended."
