Most of the track is easy , sandy / limestone but there is a few sand dunes you need to get over . Would be very hard with a caravan , off road camper trailer should be OK . See the ranger at steep point as to were you can camp (mainly sandy) he will also want some money from you. Last time I was there I had three small sharks (1metre long) swiming around were I was fishing. I was not game enough to go in the water for a swim.

I'm going in there for a look on grand final weekend.

Quite frankly I'll go for a look but I wont be camping there - seems to be to many rules and regs.

My experiences go back to 2001...

I personally would not take a van in but would consider my off-road camper trailer. There were some long sections of soft sand then. You'd want to be going for a fair while to consider the hassle of towing a van in there and would probably use a lot of fuel in the process.

There were lots of threatening signs posted by the ranger about lowering tyre pressures.

Did not camp there. Just did a day trip in and out.

We went into steep point at the end of July with my TD 100 series and Tvan in tow. We only stayed one night but did not consider it any greater hassle going in with the Tvan than it would have been without it.
The major part of the trip in, is on like a major dirt highyway, but after the old useless inlet causeway the going does get a lot tougher. Its all single lane track varing from low shrubery to quite high bushes. In sections the bushes are not much more than landcruiser width apart, which is fine for the Tvan, but if towing something like a jayco camper trailer you would most likely be dragging the sides through the bushes.
The also has some quite soft sand sections and the corrigations are reasonably severe in patches, not quite as bad as those into Cape Leveque but still bad enough to give you a severe shaking if you don't have your tyre pressures low enough.
Yes, there are quite a few warnings about tyre pressures, but if you value your vehicle it pretty much a no brainer to let your tyres down. We ran our whole Kimberly trip with about 26psi in the back, 20 in the front and 20 on the van. It makes travelling on corrigations almost a pleasure.
As to camping my understanding is/was that you must contact the ranger before travelling in to get permission and make sure they have room available, it is private property after all.
Our camp site was sand on a rock base right besides the water edge. All the sites seemed to be reasonably seperated from each other whilst we were there but I can't say how they close they may be when it is very busy. Due to time restraints we only spent one night but could have easily spent several more relaxing and enjoying the scenery and maybe doing a bit of fishing.
