On the Great Northern Hwy About 108km west of Halls Creek and 180km east of Fitzroy Crossing on the Mary River, this is a large and popular free campsite with toilets. Being popular there is a lot of damage to the ground cover and dead wood, but it’s still a good place to birdwatch due to the semi permanent water upstream of the old causeway in the Mary River, though it can get very low towards the end of the dry season and has cattle accessing it.

Camp rating 7 access is now just to the east of the Mary River bridge, this is a large free campsite with toilets
