Getting there
What the agency says about the road in. For a long rig this is often the binding constraint — a site that fits is no use behind four miles of shelf road — and none of it appears in the campsite data.
- High clearance or 4WD advised
The road continues for another 14 miles requiring high clearance and four-wheel-drive as it follows the rugged base of the reef against a backdrop of 500-foot cliffs and jagged canyons.
