Most of the van sites have been roughly leveled in this bushy van park. Bring your wheel chocks. It ain't dead flat! The park appears to survive on the vast number of left overs from Agnes Water van park which is five minutes drive away and constantly booked out. The camp ground in 1770 is fenced off and camping is prohibited there due to Covid 19 virus. The kitchen/BBQ is a bit rudimentary and although nominally covered, in serious rain you would get drenched or you would buy your dinner from the on site fish and chip shop near reception. This is not a park for disabled persons. It's far too undulating and in places, too rough. The internal roads are not maintained. From the back boundary it is a rough 800m walk to the beach. Despite all this the "booked out" sign is out every evening.
