Located near the coastline within a recreation zone of Ningaloo Marine Park, Point Billie is a mid-sized campground offering beach access and 4WD launching for small boats and kayaks. It’s a peaceful site for travellers seeking a remote coastal base with simple amenities.
Point Billie Campground is a big, off-grid Ningaloo Station campground best suited to boaters and fishos, with huge sites, cracking sunsets, and plenty of wildlife. Expect wind, exposure and a rough corrugated 4WD approach. Swimming is hit-and-miss, but there are better snorkel and swim spots a short drive away.

What Visitors Say About Point Billie Campground
Most reviews focus on the setting: wide open campsites looking over the water and Cape Range, with standout sunrises and sunsets. A few people mention seeing marine life straight from camp, including turtles, rays, sharks, dolphins, whales offshore, and even dugong (including a mum with a calf).
It’s generally described as spacious, quiet and good for bigger rigs, but it’s not a “comfort” campground. People flag that it’s off-grid and you need to be self-sufficient. Notes in reviews include bore water, needing a chemical toilet, a dump point nearby, no bins, and limited or no reception.
The beach itself is a common talking point: several visitors say it’s better for boating and fishing than swimming. Some mention swimming around the boat ramp, and others recommend driving to nearby spots (South Lefroy and Winderabandi come up) if you want clearer water or better snorkelling.
Two recurring negatives:
- Wind and exposure: plenty of comments about strong wind, little shelter, and dust in the flatter areas.
- Access road: multiple people call out long, heavily corrugated tracks and sandy sections, so it’s generally seen as 4WD territory.
A couple of reviewers also mention booking frustrations, where the booking system shows full but the campground feels half empty, suggesting no-shows or blocked sites. Camp hosts get plenty of praise overall: friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and informative, although one or two people found the caretaker style a bit too strict.
