Innes National Park Camping Spots

Hi Lloyd

Innes National Park is always a great place to visit, regardless of what time of the year it is.

All the camping areas are all very different. Some are quit open while others are more secluded and with shade. As you will know, all camping spots are on a first in best dressed basis. When you book in at the information centre, the helpful staff there will be able to give you an indication of what sites are available.

I like the Shell Beach camping area as it offers the most shade and is still only a short walk to the beach.

Here are a couple of blogs that I have written for the area and where ever you stay, you will have a good time. My only word of advise is to keep your tent zipped up at all times and keep your water in a high, safe spot. We were visited early one morning by a long, black thin snake. When the Rangers came around around 9am in the morning to check permits, I asked what the snake would have been. The first thing the Ranger said did we have any water outside the tent, to which I replied yes. The Ranger then said that because of the dry conditions, the Tiger snake was looking for water.

I thought that all Tiger snakes were quit fat, but this one was very skinny and informed by the Ranger that they were common in the Park, so keep an eye out.

When we go to Innes National Park we stay at Pondalowie Bay campground, as it has a boat ramp access if you take the tinny.

Gday Lloyd,
We camped at Shell Beach for 3 days last month. Its always been a good spot, but the campsites are a little restrictive. Biggest problem for us was the kangaroo ticks. They have become a lot more common recently in the national park. We left early after my wife and I both got a couple of ticks burrowing into us.
