  • I actually preferred this location because it was winter and the camp ground was fairly empty, it gave better views of the whole beach, I could set my tent up right at the water's edge at a high point

  • Camp site No 1 is considered the premium location at Parsons Landing. It gives you privacy from all the other sites on the beach but is rather pebbly and restricts your views of the rest of the beach.
