We went in in 2005 - we have an off road tent trailer - it takes a lot of rough stuff - but I personally wouldn't be taking a Jayco in - it is a pretty rough road - lots of twists, turns, straight up hills and sharp drops - corrugations etc - narrow road - not many places to get off if someone is coming the other way - especially the tour operators in their buses who go very fast - we saw another "off road" tent trailer being taken out on the back of a tow truck - broken axle -
we didn't have a problem, except for the lid of my coffee jar vibrating off, and a cow nearly landing on the bonnet of the car.
There were a lot of vans, campers etc left at a big area at the entry to the park, or you can of course leave it in a caravan park at Turkey Creek or whatever.
It is worth the trip in though - takes about hour and half to do 53 k - then you are only at the ranger station - then a further 16 k I think it was to the campground - then another campground - the same distance in the other direction - so to really see it you need to do overnight - do one area one day, the other next day.

I don't think you'll have any trouble if you drive carefully. We were there last year with our camper trailer and saw plenty of caravans of all varieties. As always drive to the conditions.

Done it heaps of times, Just take it easy jobs right.

Cheers Steve.

Nari: We took our Aussie Swag CT in last year. Large caravans are discouraged but we saw a Bushtracker tandem wheel coming out.

Hi Nari,

We have been in with a tent style camper before heading for Broome and the GRR, we also own Jayco Eagle Outback, and would have no concerns taking it in there. As mentioned by other quite a few tour buses travel in there most with trailers, so that should let you know length etc will be no problem, ground clearance will also be no prob, just take it easy and you'll be fine.

Hi - did it a couple of years ago but not towing anything. The road's just a twisty dirt track - nothing horrendous when I drove it but quite frankly I didn't think the hours of driving was worth the experience at the end of it all! Couple of interesting things to do but what gripes me is the (for example) herding together in thses 'Parks'. Even have to have a 'group' or 'communual' camp fire at the campground we went to! Thousands of sq miles of land and everyone herded........

Reckon I'd fly over it if I'd known what it was going to be like - that would be good if you can afford it. Flights go from Turkey Creek from memory

Happy days

Fair enough - one must speak as one finds.

When I camped there - (not sure the name of the campground - we only stopped a short time at one) not only did a drunken tourist 'next door' scream at me for causing dust when I drove my car (derrrrrrrr!-I offered my card and told her to call the Police - if she didn't and came back again and harrassed, me I would!) but some terrorists cam into the "Quiet Camping" area where we were at about 10-00pm and started to unpack a complete campsite for 6!

They finished their meal at about 1-00am next morning but not before I had requested that they "reduce the noise................PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Not for me I'm afraid - but, as you say, could go again and apparently be on my own.

Happy days

George
