Stayed a night in the larger area 1km north.
There you'll find a clean toilets block as well.
Large area, flat with lots of grass. Very pleasant start.

Good little free camping spot.
Has a rubbish bin available. No toilets so you must use your portable toilet or drive down the road to the public ones. Right on the side of the ocean/lake. Near the road. Some cows chewing on the hill.

Large grassy area, front section looks right onto the water.
No toilets, quiet over night but against the road so heard traffic early morning. Great places and one of the bigger freedom camping spots around

Lovely spot!
There are public toilets on the road, so it takes a few minutes of driving to get to the toilet. There is a bin and the view is stunning. Felt very safe parking here, even though it is next to the road.

Green grass and easy to find. Plenty of parking for 15 vehicles. Would definitely recommend. No facilities but not needed for self contained.
