Lake Argyle Resort, WA: Camping, villas & accommodation prices
The Lake Argyle Resort next to Western Australia’s biggest lake is expensive if you stay in the villas. But this Kimberley accommodation is pretty cheap if you camp.
The Lake Argyle Resort in Western Australia offers the opportunity to stay next to one of the biggest lakes in the country.
Lake Argyle, 69km from Kununurra, is huge, with a surface area of around 100 square kilometres. It’s in the Kimberley region of northern WA, quite close to the Northern Territory border.
Lake Argyle Resort: Camping, cabins and villas
The Lake Argyle Resort offers a range of accommodation at the northern end of the lake, near the dam wall. At the simplest level is the Lake Argyle Caravan Park. Unpowered camping sites cost $19.50 per adult, per night. The powered camping sites cost the same, but there’s also a $12 fee for the site.
That $12 fee applies for the powered caravan sites as well, and again it’s $19.50 per adult per night.
4 top Kununurra experiences to book
- Take a cruise along the Ord River – including the spectacular Kimberley sunset.
- Or go for the Ord River lunch cruise instead.
- Dine in the outback – cooked in a camp oven at an atmospheric secret location.
- Take a scenic flight over the Bungle Bungles – and land for the Cathedral Gorge Walk.
If you don’t fancy camping or caravanning, then the Lake Argyle Resort offers its Kimberley Cabins. These air-conditioned cabins cost from $269 a night and have slightly differing layouts. Some have kitchenettes, others require you to use the outdoor cooking facilities. There are one bedroom and two bedroom cabins available.
Most appealing, but most expensive, are the Lake View Villas. As the name suggests, these villas have lake views, which are best seen from the private outdoor decking area.
Lake Argyle Resort facilities and tours
Facilities at the Lake Argyle Resort include a restaurant and infinity pool. The resort also runs its own Lake Argyle cruises, costing from $95. Two options are available, a sunset cruise and a morning cruise including lunch. The resort also hires out kayaks, BBQ boats and stand-up paddleboards for those who want to get out on the water.
Swimming is at your own risk. The lake is home to thousands of freshwater crocodiles.
