Taking an offroad caravan to the Bungle Bungles

On some of the websites showing road conditions into the Bungle Bungles there is a picture with the line thru a picture of a caravan. Is it strictly forbidden to take a caravan into the Bungle Bungles or is it a recommendation only?

On previous visits I am sure I have seen caravans parked in the camping areas all be it only a few?

Would the jump ups (when crossing the King Edward River) be to steep or difficult for an 18ft offroad Caravan? The towing vehicle is a 100 series Toyota.

Re: Taking an offroad caravan to the Bungle Bungles

Caravans are strictly forbidden on the Bungle Bungles access track. You can leave your van at the secure storage facility at Warmun Roadhouse.

You also can't take a caravan up onto the Mitchell Plateau (King Edward River Crossing). It has nothing to do with whether your car can tow it or not. It's not forbidden, but the van would just disintegrate on you on the way.

Even offroad vans are just not built tough enough to withstand the constant knocks and vibrations coming form those roads.

There may also be holes and washouts in the road that a caravan can't negotiate.

You can leave your van at Drysdale River Station. They offer a free caravan storage service.
