Turned up about 6:30pm just as the sun was setting and only 1 other campervan here, room for 4. Quiet a steep single track road up with speed bumps, no good if in a big van. Went up the watch tower to see the sun set but the trees and bushes have grown too high. Other than the tower and an empty bin there is nothing else at this site. It was lovely and quiet until the red stags started barking, and spooked us a bit until we realised what the noise was. Lovely quiet spot we would recommend
A few spots but I arrived at 11pm and still some spots available. It was dark so I can't say anything about the viewpoint, but ok for one night! Good phone signal and quiet at night.
Lovely spot to stay the night. Relatively quite after dusk. The viewing platform allows great outlook over surrounding area. Great spot for sunset and listening to bird song.
Views very disappointing as native bush, although beautiful, is too high. The drive up is steep but ok if careful and if you meet another van, a tight fit. It could do with some TLC.
Very small area but would be OK for a night over. Steep and narrow drive up but our 4 berth made it fine. Flat and sealed at the top. No amenities.
