Description

Currently Closed to the public ** Bookings Essential ** Run by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy. A station being rehabilitated. Mt Gibson Quartz Ridge campground provides a base from which to explore this remarkable sanctuary. It is a naturalists paradise, providing refuge for threatened plants, many birds and a diverse range of other wildlife. All proceeds from the Quartz Ridge campground will go back into the running of the campground and conservation of wildlife. Mt Gibson Quartz Ridge campground is a basic camp site for self-sufficient nature lovers. Five unpowered caravan/campervan sites are available as well as tent sites. The campground is set on the side of a beautiful rocky ridge with views from the top to Lake Moore and across the sanctuary. Compost toilets and a simple covered camp kitchen area with barbecues is available. Visitors need to bring their own water and fuel, and remove their own waste. A central fire pit is available with wood provided for campfires. As our focus at Mt Gibson is on conservation, we have a maximum of 25 people or eight vehicles in the campground at any one time, making bookings essential. You will also require a booking to access the coded gate. AWC offers a selection of self-guided drives and walks at Mt Gibson. For the nature loving traveller, this is a unique opportunity to experience one of Australias beautiful landscapes while also helping to save Australias endangered wildlife. The Quartz Ridge Campground at Mt Gibson is open from 13 April to 13 October 2019.
