What a fantastic campsite . Visited in July school holidays not a person in sight. You have to travel on a dirt road to get there for a couple of kilometres Main entrance camping with loo and some shelter was a bit boggy but accessible by a car , so camped other side of lake , would need a four wheel drive to be safe . That entrance is of Deepwater road , and easy to miss. Bring some wood and have a fire , plenty fire pits. Amazing views of lake in the morning covered in mist. Swing ropes for kids to jump in the lake ( would be fantastic in warmer weather) Would definitely go back.

Nice place, best to avoid in winter though. Can be quite boggy. Well off main road so very quiet. Toilets available. Lots of grassy area , would be fabulous in summer.
