Stan’s Camp – Ningaloo Coast, WA
Welcome to Stan’s Camp — the unofficial name for a stretch of rugged paradise just north of Yardie Creek, where the road thins out, the reef glows blue, and the seabreeze funnels in like it’s got business to attend to.
It’s remote, it’s wild, and it’s one of the last few places you can still roll up, pitch a tent, and ride straight out the front door. SE to S winds run cross-shore here, clean and dependable through the arvos, with wide-open reef flats offering a mix of silky lagoons and swell lines out the back.
Mid to high tide is your window. Low tide leaves you wading out over coral and sandplate. Not a place for beginners — launch zones are rough and reef is everywhere. But if you’re dialled in, it’s a dream.
There’s no facilities, no marked bays — just DIY camping and old-school WA freedom. Respect it. Take everything you need, leave nothing but tracks, and treat it like it belongs to your future self.
