    One hour drive from Kununurra or Wyndham and the Gibb River Road is Hairy Dog's Fishing Camp and Lazy Dog campsite, located on the banks of the Ord River, home to the famous sportfish, barramundi. Tropical wildlife, lots of birdlife and crocodiles coexist here and you have river views, access to boat ramps, local attractions including a bird sanctuary. You can also join one of our popular guided tours. Set above highwater mark, the campsite sits safely on the riverbank with views of the historical landmark, House Roof Hill. Birdlife twitters about all day (and some through the night), while agile wallabies hop on by. Trees for shade and water for cooking/washing make for a comfortable campsite. A shared and well-maintained ablution block contains 2 showers and 2 flush toilets for all to use. You can enjoy an open fire at our large fire-pit and several small fire stands are provided for a more personal touch. If you have your own boat, it is often possible it can be launched and moored from the camp's boat ramp. No kayaks, canoes or floating-type watercraft are able to be used in this section of the river due to the large crocodiles that live here. A plunge pool is available for a 'cool off'. For info on the region, we are happy to share our knowledge.

    Not sure who this campground would suit. Whilst sites are large and flat they don’t have water views. Showers don’t have doors!! The river is fast flowing and has no boat turn around with big crocs. You are not allowed on the verandah and didn’t feel welcome by the host. Despite this being a fishing camp no local information shared. I feel like they are protecting their own fishing tour business. We left early and went up the road to a beautiful campground for the same $.
