Gibb River Road

Gooday Tuck,
start with this link Gibb River road
regards

A few years ago they shut down free camping at virtually anywhere that toilets weren't provided.

The National Parks campgrounds such as for Windjana Gorge and Bells Falls are nice.

The best of the lot and free is a bit off the GRR; the camp grounds for the Mitchell Plateau just across the King Edward River are beautiful, on a wide river pool, drop toilets provided.

Tuck,

As others have said most of the camps that used to exist along GRR have been shut down and there are few options to get off the road for a bush camp. Have camped at Barnett R Gorge in the past but dont know if thats still OK. The camps at MT Elizabeth and Ellenbrae are good but not free.

Have a look here for heaps of Kimberley info.

Cheers,

Val

Most campgrounds on the Gibb only cost $10 a night per cple anyway , small price to pay for toilets and showers. Places like ElQuestro + Mornington wilderness camp while magic places charge considerably more $$$.

A really great website with lots of info which is regularly updated.

Basically what I do is to start looking for a likely camp site from about 3pm onwards. If there is no fence that bars entry to land and I think that there may be an open area somewhere not too distant from the road along such a place, I will go cross country looking for a campsite. In all my years of going bush I have never been evicted from a free camp. Landowners from time to time have come along and asked me what I am doing there at a particular point, but I have always been able to give a reasonable explanation. I have applied this method all over Australia and it works for me. I am fully self sufficent when camping.

Everywhere we camped last year you had to pay but generally the facilities were very good with hot showers and flushing toilets at some of them!
I found the CALM camps the better ones.
