Camp Spot on the Pentecost River

OK?
This spot is about 1km down stream from the Pentecost/Gibb River Road crossing.
Sunsets are even better than sun rises :)
The road is a public road, but it is up to few hundred metres from the river and technically you can not leave the road because it is private property. The owner is El Questro and these days they are unlikely to give permission, particularly as they tried unsuccessfully to close the road a few years ago and because they are currently closed for the rest of the year anyhow.

I am not sure how far north the El Questro property goes. You may investigate that and contact the next property.
The other side of the river is Home Valley and they have camping on the river, but just for sun rises. They are also closed for the remainder of 2020. Even better though because you would also get the Cockburn Ranges in a sunrise shot from there.
Cheers,
Peter

Great views of the Pentecost and Cockburn Range at sunset from Home Valley Station

If you turn north, on the eastern bank of the river right next to the crossing, you can travel a kilometre or so and find some great camp space right on the bank of the Pentecost.
From memory it is a bit sandy in places, and follows a sort of loop - but we got in there with no problem with our ute and TVan, and it was a great spot.
Just keep an eye out for the crocs :-)

Greendog : Home Valley Station have a really nice location bush camping site with bush facilities close to the edge of the river . it has a fantastic sunset site on the Rangers ..but a word of warning don't tempt the super slippery banks of the river or you may find yourself swimming with the crocs ..
Or as mentioned by others the crossing on the main road is another spot were many people free camp , best not to go too far if you're towing gets a bit rough with no advantage , cattle also grase this area .

The east bank was sandy, the west bank uneven rocky. There was hardly any water when we were there.
