From Gunbower township take the Pyramid Rd to the end about 7km away at the edge of the lake. then head north along Dehne Rd. The site is in the picnic area where the road loops around a farm about 2km north. The area is mostly cleared farmland with a few trees along the road and the edge of the lake. The lake is man made and still has the dead tree trunks sticking out of the water making good roosting spots. The toilets don’t work.

Camp rating 9 either from the south end of the loop in the carpark or the north end across the irrigation channel. There are no facilities.
