Took our Trakmaster in a few years back (25' overall...18'body)...pretty straight forward...as I recall, at the
campground only some of the designated
parking bays were big enough for our rig...but we got a good one. You can phone the
ranger for advice...my guess is that they would be flexible on site options, if busy ($ is $ :-). That said, its a great place...
well worth the drive in (some sand to cover in the river bed....but not an issue).

We were there two days ago, one off-road van, 16 footer, towed by Mazda BT50, a few camper trailers also. Sand is very deep and soft for 50 metres at a time. No one seemed to have problems. The HOT showers were cold, there are two Solarhart , passive type systems on the roof, so they are either not working or you need to wait at the amenities while the sun heats the water and get in first. We thought about setting up our onboard shower but all bare sandy dirt, no grass so we gave it a miss. Michael

A lot of the sites were bollarded and suitable for tents or camper trailers, with only a few large ones. We got a coach site - long and thin which suited out long rig. Prior to us a group said they stopped in the overflow area - a fenced flat open area near the honesty box. We were there in 2008. I was told that the
camping area was expanded after that, but do not know for sure.
The track in along the Finke varies after each flow. It was
well packed down and easy when we went as it hadn't flowed for a long time.
A lovely
campground; we spent three nights there.

Went in with 27’ Travelhome 5th wheeler 2014 Tow Navara 550 No problem.
Drop tyre pressures but need to be careful not to bottom out coming out river bed.
Sites for different size setups good
A favourite spot, the Palms have a special significance.
