The Dampier Peninsula, north of Broome, is a special place.  Until recently, it has been only accessible to well-equipped 4WD’s brave enough to take on the notorious corrugations of the Cape Leveque Road but with the recently completion of a new, all-weather, road, the area is becoming more accessible.  There are still locations, however, that are still only accessible by 4WD and Middle Lagoon is one of them.  The entire Dampier Peninsula is either pastoral lease or privately owned land so camping is only possible with permission or by booking into one of the many privately owned camp sites.

The remote, almost untouched beauty of the landscape is the biggest appeal to visit here. Beachside campsites offering the basics, yet able to rival 5 star resorts with their simple, no frills approach let you get back to nature.

Take heed of all warnings and remember that there is a high risk of encountering salt water crocodiles.
