This surf camp offers a unique experience nestled between Curio Bay and Porpoise Bay, with stunning natural beauty and opportunities to see dolphins and penguins. Many guests appreciate the campground's clean facilities, privacy provided by flax hedges, and the friendly, helpful staff. The on-site café is frequently praised for its good food, especially the Thai dishes. However, the camp faces challenges with its amenities; several guests report that the shower and toilet facilities are inadequate for the number of guests, often resulting in long wait times. The amenities block is closed daily for cleaning, which adds to the inconvenience. Additionally, some guests noted the need for improvement in customer service from management and the quality of communal facilities. While the location and activities are a major draw, potential visitors should be prepared for some limitations in facilities and service.
