Wooramel River Retreat


Northwest Coastal Highway south of Carnarvon. This one is getting popular with travellers of all types. For $12pp you get to park up under big trees along a dry riverbed. The sites have firepits and you can collect wood or buy it. There are showers, toilets, outdoor camp kitchens with free bbqs. The highlight of the camp is the natural artesian pools where you can have a warm soak. There is a communal area with fire and some regular events eg damper making. Good value!

(re Wooramel)  I forgot to mention:  If it starts to rain, either prepare to stay a few extra days or get out quick.  Although its only 1km off the highway its  a very slippery, slidey trip when wet.

I personally know travellers who go there, each time they are passing through

They had highly recommended it to me

I shall try it out next time I am in that area, to support the local people

Great place to break up trip to Ningaloo, Coral Bay etc !
Terrific showering/toilet facilities and BBQ's. All spots in shade.

It is interesting when you know that the gravel road in is actually the station's runway. I have flown with Justin from it & it is disconcerting to be on the take-off run & speed under that gumtree! biggrinbiggrinbiggrin
