We spent 3 night in a spacious, quiet site in Dales Gorge Campground. Everywhere we visited in Karijini NP was beautiful from the spectacular view to excellent walks and hikes. The visitor centre is about 10 km from Dales Campground, it has free wifi and a shower. In the overflow area near the Information centre you can dispose of rubbish and obtained some water. I personally loved the Dales Gorge round trip hike down to Fortesque falls, Fern Pool, walked through the Gorge to Stunning Circular Pool then climbed approximately 100 metres up, out of the Gorge. Also the view at Oxer Lookout is stunning. There are plenty of toilets throughout the NP and parking plus at Weano Gorge there is a picnic area. There is some dirt, corrugated roads into Weano and Hancock Gorges. No Telstra. Highly recommend.

This hike was tough. During the challenging hike we visited Hancock Gorge, Spider Walk and Kermit Pool. Sometimes the trail goes steeply downhill, there are natural steps and some loose rocks. We also had to climb down or horizontal through the narrow gorge. Everything was included. The hike was quite adventures and part of it difficult. It is not a problem if you are fit and sure-footed. Good shoes and enough water are necessary and don't forget your swimming gear. The hike was amazing.

The lovely hike to the handrail pool with beautiful reflections is worth to do it. The walk is moderate and we saw many impressive old rock formations. That's what Karijini NP makes special. The scenery is unique and amazing

This is a great campground. The sites are spacious and there are good toilets. It's well situated to do some of the walks and visit some of the park's attractions. Our only problem was that tourists (often young people in rental vehicles) drive too fast around the camp, continually stirring up so much dust.

We took the easy drive over from Joffre to look at Knox Gorge and it was equally as stunning. The route down to the gorge was open but it was very hot and we chose to view from the lookout.

The gorge might not be as pretty and as great for swimming, but it is amazing! The first part of the hike is really easy until you reach a point with a steep cliff that is more than 10 m high. If you are confident enough in your ability, I can only recommend climbing down. The view once you stand in the arena-like area at the bottom of the (usually just dripping) waterfall is 100% worth it. Climbing down the cliff (please mind the signs that show you the correct route) is so much fun and a real challenge!

A 45 minute drive from Tom Price. Fairly easy walk, a little hairy in one section if you don’t like walking on a cliff edge/face. I started my walk just before sunrise which I would recommend as most of the walk up I was walking in shade and seeing the sunlight hit the beautiful surrounding countryside. It was rather windy and could get quite cold up there, if you’re lucky you might see some Rock Wallabies like I did. One of the better walks I have done in WA ????????

Very pretty gorge, easy to get into, the kids went for a swim at the pool on the right as you enter the gorge. Not the nicest water to swim in of all the gorges but the kids enjoyed it.

It was our last short hike at Karijini, and it was great. After a moderate hike down the hill some of us enjoyed a refreshing swim in the awesome pool. To slide down the rocks was fun. To swim through the narrow gorge was fascinating.
10. Circular Pool

Hiking to Circular Pool near Dales Gorge Campground is best done early in the morning to ensure a magnificent solitude experience of this beautiful natural pool. The water is very cold because the pool only gets a few hours sun every day. The water is crystal clear and reflects the beautiful red walls of the gorge.
