Singular vehicles or combined towed caravan and vehicle over 11 m, cannot safely navigate the narrow, winding road to Dickey Flat Campsite. Due to tight corners and risks of getting stuck or going off-road.

Additionally, the campground carpark cannot accommodate vehicles over 11 m. As it makes entry, turning, and maneuvering difficult, especially when full.
