Camping

We have two campgrounds; one at the Homestead and the 5km away on the banks of the Drysdale River (details below). PLEASE NOTE: We don't take advance camping bookings at all, for either camp. The reason is because so many people like or need to alter the pre-planned progress of their trip. Then due to a lack of mobile coverage or public phones we found they were unable to tell us of this alteration in their plans. We had people turning up days early, days late and not at all; the booking system was a disaster! Payment for either camp area can be made at the shop 8 am to 5 pm daily and at the Homestead bar / reception during the evening hours of 5 pm to 8.30 pm daily. Check in and registration is essential, prior to setting up camp.

The HOMESTEAD CAMP (No Advance Bookings Taken)

Adult $15.00 per night. Child $5 ( 5 to 15 years )under 5 years no charge.

This camp area offers hot showers and toilets in a great ablution block. There is also a coin operated laundry and plenty of clothes lines. We do have a small number of powered sites available on a first in first served basis. Power is supplied to these sites only during the hours of approx. 7am to 9.30pm daily. The general camping area is large and provides plenty of space. Its an easy short stroll to the bar and the Homestead Restaurant.

MINERS POOL (No Advance Bookings Taken)

Adult $10.00 per night, Children Free.

You are welcome at no charge to day visit or picnic and swim on the way past but all campers are required to register at the homestead, prior to camping.

This large camp area is 5km from the Homestead and situated on the banks of the Drysdale River, overlooking the pool. It is an open area with slashed native grass, trees for shade, easy access to the water and basic pit toiletsd.

Please REMOVE your rubbish to the nearest dump point. This is very important as dingo's and crows immediately break open and spread any bags of rubbish left behind. Please do not put your rubbish down the pit toilets, this is not the place for it. A rubbish cage is available at the junction of the Gibb River and Kalumburu Roads. During 2012 a new dump point will be provided close to the Drysdale Homestead entrance. It is also essential that you TOTALLY extinguish your camp fire on departure please.
