One hour’s drive from Kununurra or Wyndham and the Gibb River Road is 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, and local attractions including a bird sanctuary. You can also join one of the popular guided tours.

Set above high water mark, the campsite sits safely on the riverbank with views of the historical landmark, House Roof Hill. Birdlife twitters about all day (and some through the night), while agile wallabies hop on by. There are trees for shade and water for cooking/washing making for a comfortable campsite.

A shared and well-maintained ablution block contains two showers and two flush toilets for all to use. You can enjoy an open fire at our large fire pit and several small fire stands are provided for a more personal touch.

If you have your own boat, it is often possible it can be launched and moored from the camp’s boat ramp.

This is a hosted stay through Hipcamp.
