Two solar panels, tomahawk, tent legs, extra water tank toolbox etc e...

I am looking at staying at Lenthall Dam and Log Dump camp sites near Hervey Bay this year. Van is 28 ft and not an off road. Can I get van in to sites? I don't mind if road is corrugated. Have driven around Flinders Ranges with van.
