Information

Powell Creek camping area is the only camping area within the Hell Hole Gorge National Park. The campsite is a 7km drive from the park entry and you need to bring a tent, swag or small offroad camper as caravans will not make it up the rock climbs. The track entrance requires high clearance 4WDs.

The camping area is situated overlooking Powell Creek, on a stony plateau amongst the low wattles and mulga trees with views along sections of open gorge and smooth rock holes carved and worn from years of flooding. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity; the area is ideal for bird watching, photography and bush walking with panoramic views across the plateau at sunset.

The camping surface is rocky. Driving tent pegs into the hard ground is difficult, so other means of stablilizing your structure will be required.

No facilities so byo porta toilet, rubbish bags, firewood and fuel stoves.
Generators are not allowed.

Book online and obtain an e-permit in advance as self registration is not available. No mobile phone coverage.
