CSeaJay has a point about the crowds. Now is in the middle of peak tourist time. Convoys of camper trailers, dust, and full house at every camping spot.
A couple of years ago we went up in late October. The difference was amazing. I caught up with one trailer on the way up, very few oncoming vehicles, plenty of room to
camp.
Seisia was almost deserted, Loyalty had one camper,
Punsand Bay was closed and so was
the Croc Tent at Lockerbie. You could fish off the
Seisia jetty and have room to swing a cat, or a handline. The weather was a little warmer but not uncomfortable.
I asked around and was told that as soon as the last school holidays end, everything dies in the a*se. So why aren't more travelling later? Perhaps the fear of early rain or storms closing the roads. Why did I go up in July this year?
Well, I've got grandkids, haven't I, so you have to stick with the school holidays.
But I'm going up again in October, no kids, adults only.
