Ranking: 8/10
Beautiful place right on the water front. Only enough spaces for about 5 Van's, if there are no cars parked in the allocated spaces. Very busy car park during the day as it is also a boat ramp. People launching and retrieving boats all day and night.

Ranking: 9/10
Nice quiet site which is also a boat ramp. One toilet block with toilet paper, relatively clean. Large park area with picnic benches which would be great on a sunny day. Room for a fair number of campers.
