The signpost to Caravans Knob currently leads along a gravel road by the river – but it ends there as well. Perhaps due to the rain, it's unfortunately impossible to reach the actual path to the mountain. The view back towards Franz Josef Glacier is quite nice, but otherwise, it's not really recommended.
