Very quiet in July and a bit chilly,not many sites at the main camp but if you drive a bit further there are plenty of level sites along the road (see first photo ) with just a short walk to the toilets at the main camp.You need to be self sufficient to stay any length of time.There are walking tracks everywhere but no paper maps to be found so it's a bit of a lottery,take a photo of the map on the info board and take it with you,some walks are quite long and steep,so we didn't do those.
