No, there are no BBQ facilities at Home Valley. Campers need to be self-sufficient and bring their own cooking equipment. You can have fires in the designated fire pits. Campers are also welcomed to dine at Dusty Bar for breakfast, lunch or dinner. (Pre-bookings for dinner are essential). 

Home Valley has designated fire pits that guests can to use. Guests are required to collect their own firewood, which can be done from around Home Valley, however no trees are to be cut down for this purpose. 

The Gibb River Road is a challenging drive with roughly 16km of unsealed sections and two water crossings that sit between 300-500mm in depth, hence we recommend off road caravans and campers. You can bring your caravan with you should you wish, and we do have facilities available when you get here. 

When the weather is warmer so the conditions are generally better in May or in Sept/Oct. Barramundi are more active and feed when the water temp is over 24 degrees. 

There is NO boat ramp accessible to the public at Home Valley due to safety regulations. The Pentecost River is tidal, and inhabited by saltwater crocodiles.

Fishing at guests’ own leisure can be done from the riverbank only.

There are nice spots located at the River Camp, and on the bak where Bindoola Creek enters the Pentecost River. On the outgoing tide this is a prime spot to catch a Barramundi, Mulloway or Threadfin Salmon. The Pentecost is tidal and the Home Valley reception team can provide a copy of the tide charts on request. 

Given the Pentecost River is inhabited by saltwater crocodiles, please ensure you are at least 4 metres from the bank at all times and NEVER turn your back on the river. 

We advise you to make a booking, especially in the peak season.
