Taking a left onto Sam Kelly Road, they'll continue for 2 kilometers to reach the camping area. This path is recommended for those with high clearance 4WD vehicles, as the last stretch of road might present challenges due to narrowness and past flood damage. Campers are invited to set up their tents beside their cars or camper trailers on any of the three available sites. Each site has been designed to accommodate a maximum of six people, ensuring an intimate and serene environment.
