( the 37 KM road in is windy can not speed on it ) • Camp site are very dust you will have sand and dust through out your camping unit. • If you break down it will be a very expensive fix closest place with services is 1 hour away. • Bought 4 ice cream treats for the kids cost $21 • Boat gas on site $1.19/L No playground, lots of spear grass and other prickly plants that kept getting stuck to the kids and into the skin
