Big Bend Campsite
Relax in this scenic camping area after your day’s hike from the Carnarvon Gorge visitor area to Big Bend along the ever-narrowing Main gorge track.
A welcome retreat from the heat, the camping area lies beside a natural pool at the elbow of the gorge, with sweeping sandstone walls as a perfect backdrop. Sit in the shade of lanky spotted gums to watch catfish and turtles in the tranquil waters of Carnarvon Creek. Don’t be tempted to join them though—you can’t swim in the creek here. Spot some of the park’s many birds and, after dark, spotlight for gliders, possums, and owls in the trees.
