The road is steep but should be fine for any car in 1st gear (unless your heavily overloaded). It's partly paved too. Try to park in the public area, we asked at one Restaurant if we could stay there if we have a drink and they asked for $5 on their parking lot, even if we would go to the restaurant! If you go left to the fancy one, there seems to be some public parking in front of it (where the boat tours start). Relatively quiet night, just an annoying dog that barks all night.

Nice and quiet. We climbed up in the morning with our 2x4 Sprinter van. No problem. Stay on the paved road.

Very beautiful place to spend a night but very very steep road ! It was dark when we arrived and we didn’t see how much it was and in the morning we were not able to leave the place ! Thanks to the lady from the restaurant manage to go up with a pick up ! We drive a VWT4 ... Make sure that you can go up before going down because there is no option for returning ;) but fine, it has been a nice adventure ;)

Had a great night here. Pulled in before dark and set up camp. No one charged us. was very peaceful at night and the police do patrol the area. Dogs who are Keen to alert me to activity at night did not bark once. Restaurant closed at 6 pm.

Camped here with our tent on a nice, flat, grassy area overlooking the lake. $2.50 pp. Shade from a stand of eucalyptus trees. Shop selling beer, ice creams etc. Small restaurant on a pontoon a couple of hundred meters away. We could get our large BMW through the gate to the grassy camping area but cars would have to park on the hard standing area. Water ( not drinking) and basic toilet over near the restaurant. No shower that we could see. A few people around until about 6pm and restaurant open until about 8pm. After that we had the place to ourselves all night. Very quiet. Can take a boat trip on the lake for $3 pp but we didn’t bother.

Very nice place. The road is paved. The final 100 meters can be a little steep. We made it without problems with our F350 and 9'9" truck camper.

We slept with our Land Cruiser and rooftop tent on the right side of the lake between the trees. No wind at night. Looks like they are building a campsite. There are toilets, but you have to flush them with a bucket of water. Might change in the future. Beautiful location right at the lake. 2,50 pp. Parking lot is still free though.
