"Mega Park" | Wild Camping

truly remarkable place.
We have been staying here for 3 nights. The place is well maintained, the kids are loving the huge amount of playgrounds and the sports facilities. The beach is large and nice, calm water, good for playing, very shallow for hundreds of meters.
Apart from the 4 people securing ad maintaining the place we hardly saw anyone else.
All toilet blocks were working. Water looked dirty, so we didn't fill the tank.
We pulled an extension cable for power from the toilets. Nobody made any remarks about it.

Perfect place! To enter take right side. Left are stone barriers. Very quiet, nice view. Toilets are available and clean. Friendly people (Cleaners, Police/Coastguard). Only the road to the place is very humpy and ‚holey‘. Humps not marked and very bad! Look out for them!

Nice beach area with tons of parking with an ocean view. A couple of military guys, (two captains in the Saudi Navy, not in uniform) stopped by late afternoon. Were super friendly, brought us some fish and we made them coffee but maybe too friendly. One of them got a little creepy with the female member of our group when he was alone with her asking why she wasn't wearing shorts, asking to see pictures of her in shorts and asking for a.kiss. He backed off when she called her husband in and they left at that point They were very focused on alcohol asking why we didn't have alcohol and saying "we.should all drink together, it's no problem in Saud Arabia". We were the only ones there after sunset, very quiet. Clean ablution buildings, some had running water and some did not. Water did not appear potable (brown color).4G on STC.

Big public park with washrooms facilities, but not running water. Park has a nice beach. We’ve asked the police if it’s possible to camp overnight and they said not a problem.
Police was very nice and approachable.

Great place to stay after the desert. We confirm there is no water but yes somehow there is power. Good swimming just in front of this area. Police patrols all night so nice and safe as well, not that safety was never an issue in KSA

Incredible parking and picnic area.The place is brand new and is really huge. Perfect place after and before boarder crossing to UAE.
Very quiet place but hundreds of street lamps. At night totally empty, no people. We first wanted to camp wild right at the beach a few miles away and police/boarder control didn't allow that and brought us to this perfect place.
We tried 1 of the 3 toilet complexes, there water was available only in the women section.
