Sundown National Park

G’day HH,
If you have a proper 4wd i.e. one with reasonable clearance you will be ok. It’s a slow trip to the river so allow a day to get there and back. Red Rock Gorge is not much of a camp ground but is a beautiful gorge, a short walk from the car.

Hi,

I visited Sundown and camped by the river about 12 months ago. Since it is 12 months since my last visit I don't have recent experience with the road conditions.

I too was concerned about the drive into the park after reading the drive guide. What did I find? Well for one the track is exactly as described - it is rough and it is steep in places. But this just means you have to know where your vehicle is positioned on the track and in particular you need to know where your wheels are. 4wd 101 in my opinion. Drive to the conditions and you wont have any problems. When I was last at Sundown there were a number of vehicles towing camper trailers. This indicates how difficult it really is.

Hope this helps

Cheers,

Geoff

Hi HH, Yes the track is rocky and a bit steep in places but not dangerously so.

Red Rock Gorge camp ground is not much but definitely take the short walk to the gorge lookout.

Camping by the river is really good. Toilets but no other facilities.

It's a rough and slow track but fun
