Small campsite quite a rocky drive in. Not suitable for low height towing Chain of ponds walk very nice. Be excellent with more water

Basic and small bush camp. Drove our VW transporter camper with a lift kit and diff lock here on boxing day. A little challenging track but doable with higher clearance vehicles. Few tricky parts so take care. The gorge hike was beautiful, a must do if in the area.

Just don't tow in here...most of the track is very narrow with only a few spots to pull off to pass. Any oncoming vehicle is not going to be happy when you force them to back up several hundred metres because of your selfishness and lack of consideration. Luckily we encountered a van right near the entrance.
