RV TRAVEL
Sea-life abounds in Ningaloo , such as the green sea turtle .
“ Oh yeah , that ’ s known as the worst road in Australia !”
Not exactly what you want to hear when you ’ re about to tow a 21ft caravan down a particular road but , unfortunately for us , this is what we consistently heard from locals and fellow travellers regarding the southern track in to the Ningaloo Coast campground from Exmouth Road .
MOST CHALLENGING DRIVE YET
The Ningaloo Marine Reserve is a World Heritage Area that covers over 300km of coastline from Red Bluff all the way up to the North West Cape of Exmouth . It is one of the world ’ s largest fringing reefs , as well as one of the healthiest , thanks to its remote location , and it houses a staggering amount of biodiversity . Previously known as Ningaloo Station , the Ningaloo Coast campground , now run by National Parks WA , is one of the most popular campgrounds from which to experience this one-of-akind marine park .
However , because of a bit of debate between National Parks and the local council about who exactly is responsible for the upkeep of the road , the track tends to be neglected and worsens in condition . It is now widely known as one of the worst roads in the country and a tough ordeal for RV , driver , and passenger ( s ) alike . However , not a single person said it wasn ’ t worth the effort .
Fishing is a popular pastime at the Ningaloo Coast campground .
