Facilities are basic: drinking water, public toilets, picnic tables and gas barbecues. No café or kiosk is listed, so plan on bringing your own food. The ranger station is for emergency contact only. Camping costs extra and must be booked and paid online before you arrive, since it cannot be paid at the site, and flying a drone also needs a permit arranged in advance. That is the trade-off here: nothing is sorted at the gate, so the visitor pass, the campsite and any drone permit all have to be handled before you leave.
