Thread: Western Australian campers!

You could try Herron Point, just done the road from you on the Peel Inlet. Its council run with a warden, very quiet, $5 a night, boat launching, BBQ, toilet and not much else. Steve

Hi d3funct
I like to go up to Wedge. I head past Wedge settlement, and when the track goes in behind the beach I camp somewhere on the off the track. There is no showers or toilets but its cheap(Zero $), and you have your own beach, not much good for the boat though.
Cheers Iggy

Sandy Cape 14 kms past Jurien Bay great for a tinnie Caretaker on site great camping provided there aint millions there but there is many spots in the area to camp and there are toilets as well
The LROCWA did a big cleanup there many years ago and we were recognized for our efforts with free camping but you have to have a club sticker on your vehicle.
There are lots do see and do around the general area as well.

i'll vouch for this place. we went up last summer on brad's recomendation and though we weren't to fussed with the campsite, the following night we headed up one of the tracks that run out of the campsite and found ourselves a little secluded bay where the fishing was excellent and we didn't see a soul till we headed back out.

went to sandy cape a year or two ago nice place but book ahead if you are going on a long weekend or school hols !

Also check out the beach last time I was there you could pitch your tent on the beach instead of the campsite behind the dunes but get there early it fills up quick around holiday times.
Take plenty of sand pegs ! last time our tent blew over so we bought more pegs

Yes Sandy Cape is a good spot. The last time the cook and I went there, despite the ranger saying there were "thousands up here" and no spots left, we drove past the main camping area and found a great place 10 metres off the beach and just off the main track.
Half a dozen vehicles a day went past our camp and a boat was launched just in front of us and that was it.
Beautifully quiet, just the sounds of waves and sea gulls. Wish I was there now instead of work!
Have you met the new ranger yet Brad?
Happy camping.
Alan.

Just spoke to the ranger, coincidently like me, his name is Chris.

Guess we will be heading up to Sandy Cape this weekend.

Can anyone offer any more details (secret fishing spots)
