I'm thinking about spending a week at Inskip with the family. We have a caravan that has raised off road
suspension being towed by a Prado TD.
It's done and survived the
Oodnadatta and
Birdsville Tracks so a few sand tracks sound't be too much of a challenge.
Has anyone taken a van to Inskip and if so which access and campsite/s are the most suitable.

A bloke at work here just came back, a month ago, with his Camper trailer.He said -goes there all the time - loves fishing.
Note
Well - He had his generator and other gear stolen from his
camp so be carfull and pack up any Gear before you go out for the Day,they even took his Fuel can .

Wizard1,
I go up there with my very heavy van and stay on the calm water side of the road right up the end of the bitumen road. I can get my rig in the soft stuff here but there is also heaps of hard compact ground in the same region. I see no reason why a lighter van aired down would prevent you from camping pretty much anywhere up there. I think I have a photo of us up there in my rig pics. The earlier you can get there the better during any holiday period. Spread your wings a little with shower tents and fire
places in strategic spots and you will be fine. If you have a porta-potti take it. Kids make friends real quick up there and you will struggle to see them all day if yours are anything like
mine. Another reason I choose calm water side is no traffic on this side, very safe for the kids.
Have fun,
Trevor.

InSkip - we were there last week. You can get a caravan in with a car to a lot of the sites. Just need to be self sufficient for power, water and maybe ablutions as there did not seem to be may
toilet blocks. We were just passing through on a day trip.
Why not try Bribie where there are not so many people or
the beach north of
Tewantin where 4x4's had taken caravans into
camp sites on
the beach. They would have come in from
Tewantin as you would be struggling to get a caravan in from
Rainbow beach area.
