After a long walk in i came to the end of eckersley trail to find that the camping spots are incredibly small. Not big enough for a 2 person tent, also on a slope. nice spot but bad camp site.
I was a bit disapointed with the camp site. On a slope with tree roots. I headed back to the car as I could see a very sleepless night ahead. Nice quiet spot though.
