4.0/5
Very nice camp place with flush toilets, toiletpaper, 2 sinks and soap.
The road to it is a bit uneven but only for a short part. You have view on the river and ocean and just a short walk gives you an amazing sunrise. Camp places are on grass, so it can get muddy.

Nice place, calm, windy when we were.
Toilets are ok, not the best but not the worse.
Only down side is the helicopters landing and taking of from 5am to 12am.
