Access
The park is reached via the Spring Creek Track, a 4WD-only road off the Great Northern Highway. It is rough and can take a couple of hours. Purnululu is open in the dry season only. See getting to the Bungle Bungles.
No 4WD?
Stay at the highway caravan park and join a tour, or take a scenic flight from Kununurra.
Choosing between campgrounds
Kurrajong Campground is closer to the northern sites such as Echidna Chasm, while Walardi is closer to the southern sites including the Domes and Cathedral Gorge. Both are basic, with limited facilities — bring water, food and fuel for your whole stay.
When to book
