Max,
That is an easy drive, and there are two possible campsites that I know of. You won't have any isues towing a trailer, or having room to set one up.

(1) Mt Ive Station traditionally has allowed camping, and is really the only 'commercial' campspot en route. However, I understand that ownership has changed, & I am unable to confirm if they still offer caping sites. You may like to investigate that & let us knbow the result.

(2) There is a new PAR-Public Access Route- at the southern end of L. Gairdner. It has a good campsite, and a short hike to a hilltop for some beaut viws at dusk. this is a quiet spot wher you could easliy spend two relaxing nights.

Before you head east to Glendambo & the Stuart Highway, turn left at Kingoonya and visit Tarcoola, an old gold mining town. It is close to being a ghost town, and is a significant railway location.

The distances are not great, and when I was there 5 months ago, the (dirt) roads were in very good condition. So it all depends on your pace & itinerary. If pressed, you could camp one night & see Tarcoola and get to the Staurt highway easily on the following day. But why rush?

Cheers

Rick
