Does anyone know if the Mount Moffat section of Carnarvon Gorge NP is BT friendly ?
The NP website indicates there is no provisions made for caravans.
Thanks

Leigh,
We took our BT into Mount Moffatt in 2010. Two camping areas suitable for vans are Dragonelly Rockhole and West Branch.
The following link details our trip in 2010.

Hi Leigh & Mita,
We were there in 2005 with our near-new BT, so no up-to-date info.
Long drive in, but worth it! Lots of very unique scenery.
If you are prepared for self-sufficient bush camping then no problems.
Hope you enjoy
Neil

Hi Leigh and Mita
Dargonelly is a large open area with plenty of room for BTs. You do really need to book and pay on line as their is no honesty box at park entrance or at the campgrounds, and the Ranger Station is further in.

We visited mid September last year (2012). No problems. Great walks. North section was closed due to floods but may be open now.
Worth the visit. Toilets and water available. Can be bloody cold so take some fire wood.

Hi Dave and Ann
Yeah I reckon it will be cold.
WInter has just arrived in Warwick, expecting 2 tonight so will probably be sub zero by the time we get out there next week.
And we are taking heaps of firewood.
Thank heavens for the Webasto.

Dargonelly was our camp base on our maiden BT Trip in July, 2002. There was ice on the pool in the creek in the mornings, and icicles on the ceiling above our head. No Webasto then. It's 300km from there to Carnavon Gorge via Injune and Expedition (west).
Best to let tyres down to 28-30 if the road is a bit rough.

G'day Rob
We ended up staying at Dargonelly as per several suggestions - definately the best option for BT owners. The only other option was West Branch which while quite nice we were somewhat concerned by low branch's when we did a recce.
I would have to say the camping facilities were immaculate.
The road in wasn't too bad however whenever we tackle dirt roads we normally drop tyre pressure to 25 -27 regardless; we have been down to 18 on really bad stuff.
As for cold weather, damn it was cold - the Webasto stayed on all night.
Thanks for your input
regards
Leigh
