Many years ago we camped on the northern side of the river. It was only an overnight stop, and we didn't go near the river.

Walker Bay on the mouth of the Annan River....it isn't an official camping area but we camped there for about 4 days, we just had a tent but there was a couple of other campers there.. a caravan and a campervan, the road in runs alongside the Cooktown golf course and is quite narrow and is soft sand in places(we had a 4WD but only used 4WD in one spot). It is a beautiful peaceful spot....unfortunately we lost all the photos of this camp or would have put some up. No facilities at all..not even a tap but well worth it if you can get there....I wish I was there right this minute!!
