Homestead Camping

Dirk Hartog Island can be your perfect getaway from the mainland with its untouched allure, wildlife, and unforgettable landscapes. Nestled on the east coast of Dirk Hartog is a hidden gem – The Homestead Camping Grounds. Offering an array of modern amnesties such as a camp kitchen, private firepit, hot water showers and flushing toilets – you’ll have all the comforts of home while still enjoying the seclusion and native environment of the island. And if you really want to immerse yourself in island life – The Inscription is Australia’s most remote bar and café located beachside – offering up barista made coffees and evening cocktails. Your escape to our island life paradise awaits you!
