Liked: New facilities.
Disliked: Even being new and clean facilities, we didn't like the fact other people from public can use them. No much of security as well.

Liked: Great little stop over place for a night, clean toilets and showers and lovely beach 5 min drive down road.
Disliked: Wish had different prices for hook-up and non hook-up as paying for electric when it's not always needed. And make sure take insect spray as will need it in evening as very sheltered.
