 +The rocky beach is not very interesting, and there is no vehicular access to the beach. Carpark is very quiet at night, and good for stealth camping as a rest spot after dinner at the warungs.
 +
 +The drive there does not seem to pass any interesting towns, being mostly through plantations and unfinished developments.

 +Privately operated campground, gated access off the main road - gate is padlocked with combination lock, combination is provided upon successful payment. Road to the actual campsite is very bumpy, but perfectly fine for driving on with most vehicles.
 +
 +The camping ground is well drained and stabilized with grass; rope fences are put up to designate areas that are safe to drive on. Several dogs on-site that seem to be guarding the property but are harmless and did not approach me. There is a small house on the campground for the owners/staff, but I did not see any staff on-site when I was there, though they did seem to come by a few times a day to clear the garbage.
 +
 +Property's facilities are very basic, with the toilet and shower structure being quite poorly built and exposed to the outdoors. There are also some complaints about sandflies.
 +
 +The star of this campsite is the beach; kilometers of pristine and private beach, when I was there on a weekday, I had the coastline as far as I could see, for myself. Possibly one of the best beaches along the east coast, but definitely bring your own creature comforts and food, as there are no nearby towns.
