McGowan Island - WA

I am not sure which McGowan Island the previous reviews were based on but I don't agree. The appaling road there, even by Kikmberley standards is horrid. On entry you think you're entering a junk yard. Then the welcome by the owner who lacks personality as well as a shirt set the scene. Shaded sites are first in best dressed. For $20 of your hard earned per head you get a patch of dirt and nothing else but a view. No hot shower (next to no water pressure when you have a cold one) No toilet paper (use your own) No rubbish collection (take it with you) No locks on shower or toilet doors No power You would think you'd get soem service for that price..no. The free camping here at Gunn Point in the NT is much more attractive than McGowan's Island. Save your money and fuel and don't bother. I hear Honeymoon Bay is much friendlier

What a fantastic spot, lawned shady camp area's, best access in the kimberley for small boats or mcgowan island campground have purchased a new 11 metre charter boat. Skipper and crew have over 40 years collective experience in the area and will treat you to a truly unique kimberley fishing experience at reasonable rates. Cheapest fuel on the Gibb. Amenities were spotless. They have a new webpage for all info required www.mcgowanisland.com.au

Great outlook across the bay. There are some quite sheltered options in amongst the trees. Excellent drinking water. This is definitely the best place to stay in those parts.
