I didn't make it to the side. It's called a road and 2WD car park, but unless you have a ute or an all terrain 4×4, don't go there : the track is in extremely bad condition, over its whole length. I drove 2km in there before turning back, in order not to completely ruin my car.
We tried to come down this road in our camper and it feels like the beginning of a horror movie. You are just exposed in the desert and it was wildly bumpy and terrible to drive on. We ended up turning around. You are also technically on military property with signs all around warning you of unexploded explosives. Would not recommend unless truly no other options.
Be advised as of Feb 14 there multiple washed out sections of the road to get to this. Not recommended for standard campers. Anything with 6+ inch (15+ Cm) *should* be okay but any more rain will make the lip above these crossings even deeper. The actual water is not deep (3-4 Cm), but the ridge/bank that has eroded around the water is steep.
