Overnight campsite near Paynes Find

Melissa,

Depends on what you mean by "good" campsite. I have camped just off the road, about 10 - 15kms North of Paynes Find, on the GN hwy several times.

There are many clear areas just off little sidetracks that are within hearing distance of the hwy, but not visual range.

If you have your camper with you, you will find a spot no problems.

Hope this helps,Cheers, Jim

Hello Melissa, You may receive this twice as the first reply did not seem to go through.
Anyway, about 100km south of Mt Magnet is a station called "Kirkalocka" it is on the righthand side and the shears quarters and kitchen are about 500mtres from the highway. There is a campsite behind the quarters and they have bathroom/toilets and it is quite comfortable. The owners are Geoff and Anne and encourage people to stop over. The cost is about $10pn . Nice spot.

Regards

Mark

Melissa, there was/is a little book that gives campsites around W.A. - 2 versions - North and South. I haven't seen it around for a few years and am still using mine that i bought many years ago. There is also a publication by the Main Roads (or whatever the Govt calls them today) that gives campsites al;ong the highways. Try 'The Granites' North of Mt Magnet. rgds

Melissa,
3 options we use - see our CSR part 1 notes for these too and I think I can dig up the GPS references for both also if you give me a moment to look them up.

First one is Lake Nallan but its a bit of a further drive but worth it, the other is 106.2km south of Paynes Find marked White Wells and leads into some camps well off the road down a long track with fire pits and secluded little bays. We ended up camping 86km further north in a camp 20.2km south of Paynes Find this trip and it was not as good as this one further back as it was a little close to the road but some sort of thing.

I'll dig up all 3 GPS references for you in a moment.ExplorOz
