About this campsite

Windjana Gorge National Park, located in Western Australia, is a stunning natural attraction characterized by abrupt, towering walls that rise from the vast floodplain of the Lennard River. It features an expansive gorge, extending 3.5 kilometres, that aesthetically cuts through the Napier Range's limestone. The park is a part of an ancient barrier reef system, which is also visible at Geikie Gorge and Tunnel Creek National Parks - making it a compelling destination for nature enthusiasts as well as geology and history buffs.

Dive into the pristine charm of Windjana Gorge National Park, a natural wonder steeped in ancient history, which bears the hallmark of time through its impressive limestone formations. The park entertains visitors with its 3.5 kilometre long gorge, remarkable in its grandeur, with some walls rising to an astounding 100 metres. The gorge, carved out by the Lennard River, slices through the Napier Range, a relic of an old barrier reef which has left its mark on other sites like Geikie Gorge and Tunnel Creek National Parks. The floodplain, broad and alluvial, adds to the overall picturesque view of the park, making it a hub of landscape photography. The campground within the park is easily accessible, even by two-wheel-drive vehicles, and comes with a range of amenities. Facilities extend from generator and non-generator sites to conveniences like flushing toilets, hot and cold showers, picnic tables, wood fire rings, and rubbish bins. There's also a Telstra phone for those who wish to stay connected with the world while soaking in the tranquillity of nature.
