Great views while being on top of the mountain.
Ok so it’s great but the trail hiking up from Parking is approx 3 km to the campsite so make sure and bring everything in one go.
It’s a tough hike as your literally hiking a mountain.
Wonderful place to be
Enjoyed my stay very much. Hope I get a chance to go back.
