The location is very quiet and as it had been raining very green and lush. Nigel is very friendly and has big plans for the camp and we wish him well. Will come back next time we are in the area.

A bird watchers paradise with over 48 species at your doorstep.

Great location and only a short drive to the beach. The camp itself is pretty simple but it’s what we expected when we booked. I would say to avoid this site if you have a low clearance 2WD as we struggled a little bit to get out with our campervan. Overall we would stay again purely for the location 😊
