Excellent overnighter. Bitumen, no mud!Very clean toilets.Ranger Dan called in and was very polite.

Free 48 hour camping in vehicles with bathroom block and bins (no showers or barbecue) also has a court, skate park and playground. Boat access easy via sandbank

FREE PARK.I had some things to do for 2 days. I had no where to stay. I was told about this free park. I have an RV. So, it is not necessary to pay for a caravan park, when I have all facilities at hand. John Batten Hall is situated right on the Drummond's Cove beach.An ashfelt parking area.Good clean area to park.Dogs are allowed as long as you pick up any do do and bag it for the bin. Bins are provided.There is a small playground for kids, a skate jump. A BBQ on either side of the hall. Looking out to sea. A table and chairs under cover. Great place to stay. 24 hours stay.

It's for NON SELF CONTAINED vehicles only, it's rare that we get somewhere free to stay, so please don't stay if you are self contained.

Stay one night here, girls toilet has cold shower.

We couldn't believe our eyes when we pulled up at this rest-stop as the beach is breathtaking, and was the most beautiful one we had seen on our road trip up from Perth.Toilets were very convenient, although slightly disappointed to see gentlemen visiting the ladies as they were the only toilets facilitated with showers.Slightly windy evening, although disappointed to be woken up at 3am to what I can only describe as youths driving on the beach shouting, in turn waking local dogs and the baby who was camping next to us.Also, the barbecue is no longer there and there were no bins in sight which was rather disappointing. Providing the overnight awakening was a one off, I would recommend staying here.

Brilliant place where campervans and overnight car and van stays are permitted for up to five vans. Toilets, showers for females and water. Beautiful beach but wild and windy when we visited

Great location for camping! Free showers, toilets, barbecue stations and parking spots!
