Can you camp anywhere on Gibb River Road?
But you have to stick to the designated campsites. Luckily there are enough of them. Some are at gorges like Bell Gorge or Manning Gorge, others are at cattle stations like Charnley River Station or Mt. Basically, every major attraction along the Gibb River Road also has a campsite, if not right there then very nearby.
Can you free camp on Gibb River Road?
We usually choose to free camp but while travelling The Gibb River Road we were happy to stay at campgrounds, some within cattle stations as large as 3.5 million acres! We came from the Eastern Kununurra end and the free camp options were minimal anyway.

High clearance 4 wheel drives are recommended for the Gibb River Road for a reason. You can drive through the Kimberley along the sealed Great Northern Highway to get to Kununurra. But even the attractions on this road (like the Bungle Bungles) require a 4WD to enter.

Can you take a camper trailer on the Gibb River Road?
For the majority of the track, you will be fine towing a well-built camper trailer or caravan. However, taking massive caravans on the track is not a good idea. The road out to Mitchell Falls and Kalumbaru is one of the roughest, and I would not take anything but a top quality camper trailer out there.
