Sorry you didn't.
It was pretty good viewing.
And a great spot.
Plenty of Room.
Camping allowed up to 3 days.
Nice and dark.
AND flushing toilets (luxury compared to the Pony Club).

I will be going back on a regular basis.
Only just over an hour (about 100k).

will need to look at this spot allan, good spot to pitch the tent? and also is there some water supply nearby for filling the solar shower?

Might have to go with the trailer on your next adventure there, probably won't need 4 days
