WA-Karijini National Park


Dales Camp

Dales Campground is about 100 klms from Tom Price with unpowered sites and bookings will not be taken. There are toilets and a couple of water tanks for drinking water. Generators are permitted in certain areas.
A fire had been through some of the area so it was very bare and black in places. The sites are large and we loved our stay there. The nights were so clear that it made the stars look close. The nights were very cold so we would bundle up and watch for shooting stars and just get lost in the beauty of the universe.
I am sure that the ground is iron ore as everywhere you look the earth has that dark red/black colour.
The camping area is within walking distance to Dales Gorge but you need to drive to get to the other gorges. The roads are red, dusty and very corrigated.
The camping is $10.00 per night per person plus National Park entry fees. Toilets and barbeque areas are spread within the camping areas. Well worth the stay.
