What customers say
This peaceful campsite offers spacious pitches with a 'wild camping' feel, located a short walk from Embleton and the beach. Guests praise the tranquil atmosphere, beautiful dark skies, and convenient location opposite a cafe and popular pizza shop. While basic, the site is appreciated for its relaxed check-in/out and ample space. Some visitors noted the price as high for the limited facilities, particularly the number and occasional maintenance of the portaloos, and some road noise. Several reviewers expressed a desire to return due to the overall positive experience.

Anonymous Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Very handy. Needed to stop and eat after travelling along way. Next door caravan and camping site was full and very expensive for a self contained campervan. Stopping for 1 night.
We love the spirit of adventure but increasingly. More and more signs requesting campers dont stay overnight.
In New Zealand as long as you had your own facilities and porta loo. This information was advertised with a specific sticker. Parking was not restricted.
At The Afterlands feild.
Porta loos where an added bonus.
Disliked It rained heavily over night.
I would have been very concerned if the field turned into a slippy mess
