It was a great stay, easy to check in and out. The washrooms were clean and close enough to my cabin that I didn't have to walk too far. I loved that the beach was really close to walk to as well.

We stayed in a cabin, which was small but just fine. It’s right next to the beach, and there is a central area for cooking, showers and hanging out. A really nice vibe.

Thankful for the option of a small cabin, as all the motels in the area were fully booked. Also, the coffee/eats/ice cream cart was wonderful. Really enjoyed the easy access to the beach!

Place was nice and clean. Private chairs to sit outside, close to beach. Only thing I didn't like is to walk to toilets. I would recommend this place as a good value for money.

Amazing location right on the beach and 10 minute walking to Pancake Rocks! Cabin was great with a small fridge and kettle, and had a nice private deck to sit out on. The shared kitchen was really helpful and the camp provided all the cooking supplies we needed!
