For us, there was one last thing to do before we could camp there, and that was cross the Pentecost River itself. It is a free camp with no facilities whatsoever, so you need to…

2 Camel Creek – Freecamp Review
Read more: 2 Camel Creek – Freecamp Review2 Camel Creek is a free 24 hour rest stop in the North West of WA. It is a basic stopover rather than a destination, but for what we needed it did the job.

Lake Ballard – Freecamp Review
Read more: Lake Ballard – Freecamp ReviewWe came here from Kalgoorlie, which isn’t too far away. To get here, you pass through Menzies, a very small outback town that feels like a step back in time.
