Connect to Culture

Camp with Custodians at these nature-based campgrounds.

Camping with Custodians is an exciting, Australian-first initiative providing high-quality campgrounds on Aboriginal lands. Visitors can stay on Country, tour with local guides and experience first-hand one of the world’s oldest, continuing cultures. The campgrounds enable participating communities to share their culture, lifestyle and stories. There are currently seven Camping with Custodians campgrounds in Australia’s North West:

Djarindjin Campground

Highly accessible on the newly-sealed Cape Leveque Road, Djarindjin offers powered and unpowered sites, extra-wide drivethrough sites that cater to larger RVs and caravans, with modern facilities for you to wind down at the end of a long day on the road. Djarindjin Campground is a welcome stopover on your Kimberley journey, and a great base from which to explore the best of the Dampier Peninsula! Visit djarindjin.com. au for more information.

Lombadina provides both powered and unpowered sites and the opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in the lifestyle and culture of this established community.
