Hi Rat.
Fished the 42 about 9 months ago as we have a parks pass we camped at the designated camp site, at the time there were new toilets and a covered area with tables and benches. There was also a rain water tank
Knowing what idiots frequent the place I don`t know what condition it is in now.
I found it a great place to camp.Just be self sufficient. Plenty of camp sites.
Good fishing but be very careful driving on the beach. Unless you are very experienced do not go alone, with two vehicles it would be OK
I run 15 psi in my tyres but if I got into trouble I would go as low as 5 . getting to the beach is easy but again I would recommend 20 to 23.
Don`t let my intimidate you as its a great spot so go and enjoy. If i can find some photos I`ll post them up

Looking forward to heading down that way as well although I think I'll try Goolwa beach the first few times to get used to a bit of well travelled beach driving.

Yabb it`s all tyre pressures 15 to18 psi and you won`t have to many problems
