Hi Shane, it's always hard to make a bold statement about towing a caravan anywhere given the variety of capabilities of drivers, vehicles and the caravan itself. Most leave their vans at Yangie Bay and just do a day trip or take swags and a tent and just car base camp. However i can relate our experience which was with our F250 and tray based camper. There had been some rain about leading up to us getting there and so the sandy sections were relatively easy with a little momentum. If it was bone dry in the middle of summer it would be much more challenging as there are a number of long flat deep sand sections which need tyres aired down to probably 15-20lb. It's also a narrow track with nowhere to turn around if you didn't like what you saw ahead, particularly with a camper or caravan. A big van might also struggle with the height of some of the vegetation which (we found) was starting to close in at the sides and near the top of our camper. Probably reflective of the fact most vehicles that head up are not that tall, including the camper trailers. We scratched up the sides a bit in spots. Again depending on how big the caravan is manoeuvring at the campground could be tricky if all sites are booked and in use. If you took the van in you'd probably have to be thinking the odd winch section or use of snatch strap / maxx trax etc so if you don't want a challenging day then perhaps not. We didn't go past Black Springs, plenty of people warned us it only became more difficult in terms of the sand driving and also the vegetation closing in. Not sure that helps you a lot ?
@@shanespicer6348 Shane, I have also replied to you regarding towing a van here on another campsite review (Yangie Bay). I would not advise it period, for all the reasons Scott has given. Stay at Yangie and do day trips, assuming you have 4WD.
How hard would it be to tow a caravan into this place? Nothing wrong with the quality but I just wanted you to talk about the place. Well done.

@@scottwilson4465 Scott, thanks for that. You have given us the most comprehensive answer that I could have asked for. Take care, Shane
