Very functional, nothing special.
Parking backs up onto a tennis court and sports field. Toilets are a bit of a walk and were locked by 8pm, so we walked further to the isite toilets around the corner(open to 10). You end up here when island View Reserve is full. Potable water is very convenient though!

Pros: relatively flat, clean, room for 5 vans.
Potable water tap. Trash bin.
Cons: toilets quite far away and locked up at dusk. Cruel. Loud kids playing think they own the property. Come here if the beach spots are full, which they will be.
