Excellent location felt very safe being just out of town great sleep with no noise just a few birds flying over during the night. Will definitely stay her again when we come back one day Katie was very helpful and instructions were easy.

Very responsive and helpful host. Katie Mary was very generous to us during our stay. A fantastic location, with nicely designed, comfortable accomodation. Peaceful, shady and spacious grounds right on the river. Absolutely recommend giving yourselves the pleasure of recovering here and exploring the local area after a few weeks camping in the Kimberley. The view of sunrise over the river and Elephant Rock is a beauty.

What a great spot. From the powered site it was about 250 meters to the banks of the Ord River. They have grassed a nice area there with tables and chairs. There is also a BBQ there and a fire pit. I met Katie Mary and her family and they were so welcoming. We were only there for 2 nights but I would have liked to stay another few nights but we had previously booked other places. I would recommend these sites to everyone.

Such a beautiful spot right on the river in Kununurra, with stunning views of Elephant Rock and a magical boab tree silhouetted by the sunset. The road in takes you past lush cotton fields, setting the scene for a serene stay. So many birds around — it’s a birdwatcher’s dream! Quiet, scenic, and full of Kimberley charm. Highly recommend.

Shady riverfront relaxation area a short stroll from your campsite. Outlook was fantastic and nice at night with an open fire.
Campsite large, very accessible and grassy. Very private, well off the main road.
Listening to the birds and wildlife was very tranquil and spotting a freshie float or in the river was a bonus.
Would highly recommend!!

We thoroughly enjoyed camping at the river front camp in Kununnura. All the guests were lovely and the owners were amazing and couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming. Will definitely book again.

It is a very comfortable site. Spacious and flat. Enjoyable walk to the river to enjoy the sunset and sunrise and a swim was also in order.

We stayed four nights. Convenient to town if you have transport. Great freedom for our dogs and lots of space. Hooked up to water, though needed a longer hose. Power extra $10/night, but no 15amp outlet so for caravans you'll need a adapter to 10amp. Dump point in town ($5 at oval). Would stay again.

We had a lovely stay, it was peaceful and perfect for the whole family. The green grass was great for the kids to run around, and Elephant Rock looked absolutely beautiful at sunset. Such a great spot to relax and unwind together!

Lovely place on the river to enjoy the serenity. Site 1 and 2 are excellent with much shade (site 2 does have machinery but can set up to block and then allows a private auditorium under the trees). We loved being able to have our dogs off leads for 2 days. The short 1 min walk to the river with table chairs bbq and fire pit were appreciated and we set up there from morning coffee until sunset each day.

Lovely shady site only a short drive back to town. Beautiful bird calls at dawn and perfect temperature evenings in late June. Couldn’t swim in the river due to lots of muck hugging the shore but a 10 minute drive to the Swim Beach was perfect where we watched Rainbow Bee-eaters catching insects on the wing.
So much better than a caravan park if you are self contained.
