El Questro...Why is everyone complaining about???

Is El Questro a Rip Off????
Finally got back out to the Gibb River and we decided to check out on Wiki Camps all the recent reviews and whilst some where positive, we were a little deflated to see soooo many negative reviews. Which we hardly ever see lots of unflattering opinions on stations or camps, so we thought we would share our thoughts and experiences on El Questro Station from our point of view after living on the road for 20 months. This is Part 1, part 2 coming next week.
Did it live up to the reputation or did we detour for disappointment????

[@EssentialOrigami]

What a great title! I must know why everyone is complaining!!!

[@Donna.Buckingham]

Haha a lot thought it was overpriced for camping, long lines at the showers and lots of dust.

[@EssentialOrigami]

@@Donna.Buckingham Fair enough, I’d complain about that too 🤣

[@Foolish_Paul_Australia]

I have only experienced El Questro via RUclips channels such as yours but it looks great. I will get out there one day and then I'll be able to add my own experiences but until then I'll just keep enjoying your vids. Thanks. 😎

[@Donna.Buckingham]

Thanks Paul, we were so sad to have to drive right by last year. One good thing about covid was missing so many places and being able to go back. Thanks for watching mate and can’t wait to see you enjoy the Gibb River Road too. D

[@barryalford7494]

hi there wife and I spent 2 weeks at Elquestro in 1979 we had the whole station to ourselves only the caretaker it was the best experience we had in the top of WA We are going back to see how it has changed no tourist only a working cattle station

[@Donna.Buckingham]

It’s a well run place now. Little bit touristy, but still very outback

[@jaycedufty]

$100 a night for powered site, no fires allowed, no pool for the kids. 40 degrees and no shade, but there's plenty of other shady camps. Tried to talk to staff but their not the owners, and don't care. Otherwise it's an amazing place

[@Donna.Buckingham]

That’s disappointing, I guess from the reviews there are alot that have a slightly negative experience with the camping grounds. But usually happy with the walks etc. thanks for your comment :)

[@TheShedSesh]

Magnificent Buckinghams!! Great vid 😊

[@Donna.Buckingham]

Thanks Mate; thinking of you in lock down. I hope you can get some relief in the shed 👍

[@lynseyharding8102]
