Boondi Rock Campground

Boondi is a convenient campsite for those heading to the Holland Track or Kalgoorlie-Boulder. It was originally used as a water supply for steam trains, but is no longer in use due to the advent of diesel locomotives. The catchment system consists of walls and channels that direct rainfall into a dam. Visitors should bring their own drinking water and firewood, and avoid swimming in Boondi Rock Dam.

Additional rules

Campfires are allowed in certain seasons, but you need to bring your own firewood. You should also bring enough drinking water, as there is no guarantee of potable water on site. There are no bookings, and camping fees are waived, but park entry fees apply at Goldfields Woodlands National Park. Waste bins are scarce, so you should take all waste with you when you leave.

Things to know

Boondi Rock Campground is located around 80km west of Coolgardie, and can be found off Great Eastern Highway. It operates on a first come, first served basis, and has no fees for camping. However, it can get busy, especially during weekends and holidays, so it's a good idea to identify alternative accommodation in case there are no campsites available when you arrive.

Neighborhood

The location offers various activities such as sightseeing, walking, photography, nature observation, bird watching, yabbies, picnics, and four-wheel driving. Additionally, there is a freshwater dam and a scenic lookout.
