You can, but the rangers will turn you around after you've driven for a couple of hours to get in there and send you straight back out again. AND, you have to go through the
ranger station to get in. The signs say NO Caravans and they mean it.
You can store your van at Turkey Creek (Warmun) by either, paying full price for a site at the van park attached to the roadhouse, or, paying a small fee to have it locked away in a barbed wire enclosure over the road. Either way I would suggest that you book a site at the roadhouse for the night that you get back from the Bungles - it's usually packed out. There is another alternative which I wouldn't recommend - park it in the
carpark on the highway opposite the turnoff to the Bungles.
I suggest you allow at least twodays to see the N.P.

We were there last season and there were plenty of legitimate camper trailers in there - obviously acceptable. As far as a Jayco "camper" is concerned I don't know. Didn't see any but I would suggest you give them a ring. We went to a
ranger's night time slide show while we there and they made it quite obvious that they would not allow caravans. Their attitude was that they only have a couple of rangers who are absolutely flat out keeping the place up to scratch for the people they get in there now and if they allowed caravans in they would never cope. They didn't say as much, but I got the impression that is the reason they don't repair the access road during the season - the harder it is to get in, the less people will come!
