A beautiful location off the highway near Karijini National Park, certainly one of the most scenic overnight free camps I’ve been to. Plenty of good level spots for larger sized rigs with plenty of area to turn around.

One of the better overnight rest areas in WA. It's clean, (let's keep it that way) well back off the highway, elevated for excellent views of the surrounding country and there are plenty of site options and wide turn arounds.
