James Price Point
OK, What a spot for a free camp!! This place is UNREAL. If you are looking on wiki camps, you’ll find the spot we went to under “800m from James Price” as shown in the photo. There is so much more room than the point & you can pretty much find a spot and have plenty of space between you and the other campers in the area. You camp up on the cliff and have the red rock behind you and the white sandy beach below with the blue water from the ocean. IT IS AMAZING!! You have got to check this place out on your travels… and one more time, it’s FREE!!
The sunsets here are to die for, we were there for three nights and every night the sky lit up with pinks, purples, oranges and reds. The red rock glows and you can go beach combing on the low tide while all the rock pools are exposed. If you are lucky enough, you might find yourself some free fishing gear like we did!
Barred Creek
So we stayed at the location to the north on the cliff which was AWESOME! but, if you are into camping right on the beach, the location that is highlighted on the photo to the left would be for you! When we went for a walk to explore, we saw this campsite and it looked mint, but unfortunately we had other plans booked in so we didn’t go stay there. If you would prefer to be up off the beach, then the North campsite is for you. It was such a beautiful site, but be aware, it does get a little boggy in areas! We got bogged when we drove further up and tried to turn around haha we had to get the Maxtrax out!! All in all it was a beautiful site. The site itself is right on the cliff edge and then right out the front is ocean views (see the drone shot below). While we were there we relaxed on the beach, went for a walk along the cliff to the river mouth and looked at the beautiful mangroves. This is also where we saw our first ever wild Estuarine Crocodile, so I wouldn’t go swimming if I was you!
Lennard River Rest Stop (Gibb River Road)
The first day of our Gibb River Road trip we drove to Lennard River Campsite and spent the afternoon having a fish by the river. We saw one little freshwater crocodile who was having a sunbake on the sand bank near the bridge. It was very easy to get our van into this spot and there is a large area which would be fine for people with larger vans than ours to get into.
RAAF Boab Quarry
This one was super surprising!! We had heard of it from others, but weren’t quite convinced until we rocked up. We went here on our way from the Bungle Bungles to Broome as a stop-over & did not regret it! We didn’t get a primo spot, but when we climbed up to the top of one of the huge rocks on sunset it all made up for it! It was the most magical view.
There is a little swimming hole at the campsite to cool off in too!
In the video below, we go through every campsite we stayed at from Perth to Millstream National Park near Karijini:
