Dales Gorge Campground – Karijini National Park (CG)

Dales campground features 140 sites that can accommodate large rooftop tents, large campervans, large caravans and large camper trailers. Tents are permitted but the compacted gravel surface of the sites may make pitching a tent difficult and it may be uncomfortable without a thick sleeping mat or mattress.

THINGS TO DO
Walk trails of varying lengths, gradients and surfaces lead to lookouts over the gorges, waterfalls and pools. Some take you deep into the gorges and pools where you can swim. There are many other walk trails in and around the numerous gorges of Karijini and to the summit of Western Australia’s second highest peak, Mount Bruce (Punurrunha).

Campfires and solid fuel stoves and other appliances are not permitted at any time.
Campers’ are encouraged to follow the simple principles of Leave No Trace to minimise the environmental impact of their visit.
Very few campgrounds have waste bins – take all waste with you when you leave.
