Hey guys, I'm planning a trip in April with a few mates to the Roper, our plan is to drive into port roper and camp down that way,
Does anyone know if this is acheivable that time of year? ie: road conditions, I'll be towing a 4.6 tinny
Is there a ramp there?
Thanks any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

There's a ramp at Port Roper. Pretty good one.

Road conditions will depend upon the timing of the wet.

No water there. No shade trees. There's a bit of a frame for throwing tarps over about 20m from the ramp. Wouldn't recommend it as I'm a bit croc shy. Nice leisurely stroll up ramp at high tide, hop skip and jump and u have a croc in your camp (or worse).

Pro crabbers get crocs in their camp at night at times.

One permanent pro fisherman there plus a group of pro crabbers with shanties set up just across mangroves near boat ramp.

Thanks ronje, cheers for the info, yea I figured that about the road, guess I'll have to wait and see, I've been told the tomato island camp area is alright, have you been there?

Search old posts plenty of info on them

Will do cheers
