Experience Nature at Mitchell Falls Camping Ground

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start your journey from Kununurra, which is approximately 300 kilometers from the Mitchell Falls Camping Ground. Take the Great Northern Highway (National Route 1) heading south and then turn onto the Gibb River Road (Canning Stock Route) after approximately 60 kilometers. Continue for about 150 kilometers on the Gibb River Road until you reach the turn-off for Mitchell Falls. Follow the signs towards Mitchell Falls, and be prepared for unsealed roads. The last 30 kilometers will require a 4WD vehicle due to rough terrain. Ensure your vehicle is equipped for off-road travel and check road conditions before departing. There is no entry fee for accessing the camping ground, but fuel and supplies should be purchased in advance as amenities are limited.

• Public Transport and Tour

  If you prefer public transportation, consider booking a guided tour from Kununurra that includes transport to Mitchell Falls. Several tour operators offer packages that usually include a 4WD vehicle ride to the falls and camping ground. These tours typically last 2-3 days and can vary in price. Prices may range from AUD 400 to AUD 1,200 per person, depending on inclusions like meals and guided tours. Make sure to book in advance as spots can fill quickly, especially during peak season (May to October). Additionally, confirm the departure times and meeting points with your tour operator.

• Helicopter

  For a unique experience, consider taking a scenic helicopter flight from Kununurra directly to Mitchell Falls. This option offers spectacular aerial views of the landscape. Helicopter tours typically last around 30 minutes to 1 hour and can cost between AUD 400 to AUD 600 per person. Book in advance, as these flights can be weather-dependent and fill quickly. Upon arrival, you may need to hike a short distance to reach the camping ground from the helicopter landing site.
