I know the spot you are talking about Herbie. Have stopped in there many times to use the loo but never stayed over night. Last time I went past I noticed they had brand new quite flash looking loos.

Yes... the loos are pretty new!
The bbq does not work, there are taps there for water in the camp area, but you need one of those special 'tap adaptors'!
The pub just down the road has great cheap meals, but not on a Monday night! Lately, there has been a Pizza van there most weekends from 5.30pm to around 8pm.
A local chap comes around to sell honey in one kilo tubs as well... and it's great honey!
This is a quite small, but very user friendly little spot to camp overnight.
Happy travels,
Marnie

Stopped there a few weeks ago, to get water, and noted it as a good spot to overnight!
