Brilliant: Cape Range itself, the beaches, the reef, the campgrounds, Yangie Creek. If you plan on staying in the national park at a campground, book a long way out. We did 6 months prior and still had difficulty finding sites we wanted. Ended up staying tow nights at South Lefroy Bay campground (45km off the highway on Ningaloo road in the south) and three nights at Mesa campground. Both were great with Mesa being a good base for all the attractions of the park.

Amazing camping. If you are planning to camp in the national park book about 6 MONTHS in advance as it is very popular and books out quickly. We stayed at Tulki Beach which was so quiet and only 200 metres away from the beach. The only facility was a bush toilet which was very clean and good quality. If you need a few basic supplies like ice, maps, etc, the Milyering Discovery Centre is not far away and even has a cafe. The staff here also provide great recommendations of where and when to snorkel (and advice on the tides to ensure your snorkeling responsibly). To top it off, our campsite caretakers were lovely people, always up for a chat and even had a happy hour at their site each arvo. Advantageous location if your planning to explore the national park and ningaloo instead of driving all the way from Exmouth. Best snorkel spots were Lakeside, Oyster Stacks, Osprey Bay and Turquoise Bay. The hiking trails at Mandu Mandu Gorge and Yardie Creek were both short but equally breathtaking.

Camped at Kurrajong camp ground having booked online 5 months out! Well worth the stay. Nice flat sites with space between next camp and 80 metres to the beach. Drop loos are nice and clean. $15 pp per night. No water or power or phone service. The visitor centre has limited coverage but the Yardie camp has heaps! Quiet location. Camp hosts on site. Explore the area over 5 days and don’t miss a snorkel at the Oyster Stacks!

This is one of the beautiful national parks of Western Australia that joins up w the Ningaloo World Heritage coastline to the south and west of Exmouth. The Park is noted for its gorgeous gorges which you can hike and spend time viewing wildlife near the equally beautiful beaches dotting the coastline. We recently spend a couple days exploring Cape Range and very much enjoyed the Charles Knife Canyon which you can drive 11 km into taking in numerous remarkable viewpoints. At the end of this paved 2wd accessible road, we completed the 7km long Badjarrijarri trail to the Shothole Canyon Lookout, another stellar viewpoint. On the western side of Cape Range, we made numerous stops at beaches in route to Yardie Creek. There we found a nice, fairly easy trails along the creek rim and enjoyed the 1 hour boat tour available, advanced bookings required. The Mandu Mandu gorge a bit further north was also a good, comfortable 3 km trail which like the trails at Yardie Creek puts you in the area where you can see rare Black-flanked Rock Wallabies and other wildlife if you are lucky and keep your eyes peeled. Overall, we really enjoyed our time in Cape Range NP and the Ningaloo World Heritage Area. Given the amount of travel time required to drive here, we wished we had allocated a 3rd and perhaps 4th day to allow us to explore the area more thoroughly. Two days just didn't seem to be enough.
