Beaut spot along the lake and not many people here (mid Jan).
The view and access to the lake is great. Amazing night sky too to enjoy - there is a bit of road noise but to be expected.

A hidden gem and not over crowded at all we had the whole place to ourselves.
Near the road but quiet. No toilets but that's fine as we are self contained. Right by the water so lots of sandflies so come prepared
