DO NOT USE EASTERN EXIT WITH A RV! Rescued another camper yesterday with shovels and lifting jacks. Site is covered with RV underbody parts.

2 spots with an AMAZING VIEW were free when arrived. But I could just see by walking there… it rained before and it was impossible to go there without 4wd and especially an RV. If it's dry you should really go there, but early!

Road conditions: Driving the 8 km to the site (dirt road), the conditions are fine at the moment. Going in the first entrance to the Rec Site was bumpy. In fact at the moment the eastern exit/ entrance is flattened out and easier to drive through.
