34km from Mirima National Park · 38 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Kununurra, WA
Travel the old drover's track [now a scenic road - Parry Creek Road] to Hairy Dog's Fishing Camp and Lazy Dog campsite, located on the banks of the Ord River, home to the famous sportfish - barramundi. Tropical wildlife, lots of birdlife and crocodiles coexist here and you have river views, access to boat ramps, local attractions including a bird sanctuary. Set above highwater mark, the campsite sits safely on the riverbank with views of the historical landmark on the Bend of the Ord, House Roof Hill. Birdlife twitters about all day (and some through the night), while agile wallabies hop on by. Trees for shade and water for cooking/washing make for a comfortable campsite. A shared and well-maintained ablution block contains 2 showers and 2 flush toilets for all to use. You can enjoy an open fire at our large fire-pit. If you have your own boat, it can be launched and moored from the camp's boat ramp. No kayaks, canoes or floating-type watercraft are able to be used in this section of the river due to the large crocodiles that live here. A plunge pool is available for a 'cool off'. Our campgrounds are a good one hour drive from Kununurra or Wyndham and about 1.5 hours to the Gibb River Road. Be sure your vehicle is set for dirt road with good tyres including spares and water for yourself. This is non mobile phone country so take care and travel to conditions. For info on the region, we are happy to share our knowledge or contact the Kununurra Visitors' Centre.

The best camping in Mirima National Park, WA guide

Overview

About

Mirima National Park beckons adventurers with its ancient, layered sandstone formations and rich Aboriginal heritage. Just a stone's throw from Kununurra, this park offers bushwalking, photography, and nature watching amid a landscape that comes alive with the Kimberley's changing light. While camping isn't mentioned, the park's trails and wildlife provide ample opportunity for day-time exploration and connection with nature.

When to go

The best time to visit Mirima National Park is during the cooler months from May to September, when the Kimberley heat is more forgiving. The wet season, from November to April, can be intensely hot and may restrict access to trails due to flooding.

Know before you go

  • Check the current campfire conditions before planning your visit, as restrictions may apply.
  • Be Crocwise: always heed warning signs as crocodiles are present in the Kimberley region.
  • Carry sufficient water for bushwalking—recommend 1 litre per person per hour.
  • Standard park entry fees apply; consider purchasing a park pass for extended visits.
  • Accessibility varies across trails; the Looking at Plants Trail includes a wheelchair-friendly boardwalk.
