Absolutely love this little gem. Less then 2hrs north of Newcastle (home) is this quiet (except peak periods) clean little national park camp ground. No powered sites however water, showers and bbq facilities. Camp grounds are 2-3min walk to the waters edge of a nice beach. Come here 3-4 times a year for mini get seats
