Guide
Karijini Overflow Campground is a seasonal, hard-surface camping area about 1 km from Karijini Visitor Centre, separate from Dales Campground. Campers choose an unmarked place to set up rather than a numbered pitch. It is a practical short stay near the visitor centre, with no power.
No-flush pit toilets are available, but drinking water and bins are not provided, so bring your own water and carry rubbish out. Campfires are not permitted, and generators may be used from 8 am to 8 pm. Paid showers are at the visitor centre, about 1 km away. Karijini is remote, so arrive with food, fuel, medication and first-aid supplies.
