Nice spot but crowded at times

The road in to moonscape is not too bad, be careful if the roads are wet or rain is in the future. The easier route is 155D. Incredible views at suns rise and sunset, be prepared for lots of people during those times. Otherwise it was fairly quiet and we were one of three small groups camping overnight at the edge of the cliffs. Not much to do other than to take in the incredible views and enjoy the quiet once the people leave.

We visited in August and it was a warm, but cooled off nicely for bedtime.
