It's a pretty remote location, which I very much enjoyed, and I was prepared to camp at a primitive site (no water or flush toilets). Only downside was the smell wafting from the vault toilets but I understand they are not cleaned on Tuesday (host's day off) which is when I stayed. Otherwise loved this site!
