I've stayed at both, and it's hard to decide between them. They both offer different experiences. I've stayed at the main campground at El Q, and its possible to find cool and shady sites, but can't comment on the individual river sites, except they're popular so perhaps enough said. At Home Stn you can stay at the homestead on manicured lawns and a central pool,but not much in the way of shade or down on the river in a more bush like camp looking out across the river to the ****burn Range.
Both have excellent facilities.
I'd recommend you stay at both if you can.

PS Another delightful site to stay at is Parry Creek Farm [See: parrycreekfarm.com.au/] for yet another experience, to go along with Wyndam, Kunnunurra and Lake Argyla.

Yes it is too short a time but we do have  another 12 days on the Gibb River Rd  from Derby  afterwards before heading to Broome, it's just the section from Darwin to Derby via the main road that we are struggling with so have to make choices unfortunately

I suppose that you have investigated The Kimberley Guide & other information on this site
