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.

Nice parking place with Nice view on the water and a toilet. Sheltered in a bay so not so much wind. Locals come and go with boats. 4 spots for freedom camping.
