Karijini and the Eco Retreat

Hi All
Before going to Karijini in October 11, I checked out the forums to see what people said about the place and where to stay.

Well it's a given. The place is Amazing. We spent from Sunday night to Saturday morning in the National Park and that was not to long.

Anyway the purpose of this thread is that it appears from other threads that the ECO retreat was less preferred than Dale's. My opinion for what it is worth is that both sites offer the same Camping sites ie a cleared area Iron gravel lots.
Dale's has drop toilets and you need to be completely self sufficient.
The ECO retreat has Flushing toilets and Solar Showers both of which were clean.
The ECO retreat also has free BBQ's under sunshades which we used extensively.
Add to this Very pleasant staff at Reception which is also a BAR at prices that considering the location are very reasonable.
We had Dinner at the restaurant one night (forgot it was my son' 10th birthday while we were away) and the meals were good at about $35 a main.

It cost $30 a night for the Eco retreat site and Dale's is the normal National Park camping fee I think that is about $15 a couple. I'll be going to Karijini again (and do the Adventure tour with abseiling in the gorges) and stay at the Eco Retreat again.

For the Happy Traveller it is worth noting that TOM PRICE is VERY good for price on Fuel and Supplies. Their Coles had stuff cheaper than our local in Perth. Happy to help with any other questions you may have about visiting the National Park.

Cheers
Dal
