Great Spot
The sunset and sunrise each day was fantastic. You really see the tidal movement and how much water is moving around from this location. Camp sites are well shaded and facilities are adequate. I think it was the best view on the perninsular.Spectacular scenery
We have spent 5 nights here thoroughly enjoyed the time, the Scenery is Spectacular very relaxed campsite amenities are fine and the added bonus of Staircase to the moon and the Bardi Aboriginal dancers last night.I would recommend this Camp and managers were very welcoming. Loved our time here.
Great getaway
We stayed in an onsite safari tent over looking the ocean & islands. This place is beautiful with spectacular views and very relaxing with comfortable camping & your own private shower. Gerard and his team looked after all of our needs, this is a great getaway we will definitely be back!
