The North West region of Western Australia offers travelers a chance to experience authentic and immersive Aboriginal-owned and operated accommodations and camps. One highlight is Honeymoon Bay, a raw and rustic campground in the far north Kimberley, providing visitors with a unique and genuine experience for over 25 years.
Travelers can also explore Aboriginal-owned and operated accommodations in the Kimberley and the Pilbara through the Camping with Custodians program, which offers six different sites, each providing insights into Aboriginal culture. Additionally, visitors can join Aboriginal tour guides to explore the iconic Bungle Bungle Ranges, learning about rock art, bush tucker, medicine, and spiritual beliefs along the way.
For a beachfront camping experience, Nyul Nyul country at Beagle Bay on the Dampier Peninsula offers complete beachfront campsites operated by a local Indigenous community. In Karijini National Park, travelers can discover the otherworldly landscapes of the Pilbara and view the world's largest concentration of rock art, as well as visit art centers showcasing Aboriginal artists from various language groups and styles.
These Aboriginal-owned stays not only provide travelers with a chance to learn about and immerse themselves in the rich Indigenous culture of Western Australia but also contribute to supporting local communities and preserving traditional knowledge and practices.
