The Peedamulla Campground is located approximately 203 kilometers south of Karratha on the expansive 226,000-hectare Peedamulla Station, meaning 'plenty water' in the local Aboriginal language. Positioned at the junction of the Onslow-Peedamulla Road and the North West Coastal Highway, the campground offers a mix of cultural immersion and natural beauty with powered and unpowered campsite options amidst breathtaking landscapes, including the nearby Cane River and vast countryside.
Originally established in the 1880s as a pastoral property, Peedamulla Station has evolved into a thriving cattle station, occasionally serving as a training ground for Indigenous Australians. Guests visiting during specific periods, like mid-July, can witness the annual muster, where hundreds of cattle are gathered for market preparation, providing a captivating spectacle.
Modern amenities at the campground include unisex toilets, hot showers, lighting, communal fire pits, covered BBQ areas, and drinking water facilities, all set against expansive views that ensure an immersive nature experience with essential comforts. The site is dog-friendly, catering to travelers accompanied by their furry companions.
Accommodation fees vary based on the choice of powered or unpowered sites, starting at $35 per night for an unpowered site (for two people) and increasing to $50 per night for a powered site (also for two people). Children under 15 can stay for free (up to two per site), with a charge of $10 per person per night for additional guests beyond this limit.
