Hi all,
As a follow up to Cozzie (WA) comments re Alexander
Bridge camp ground the same thing applies to Conto
camp ground which is South of Margaret River, we left there yesterday after a weeks R&R.
We have been going for about 6 yrs now and I have never seen it so full, the ranger says they are opening up new areas all the time, and they fill up as soon as they open them.
If you aren't already there, lots of luck trying to find a space at Easter, I believe nearby Point Road
camp ground is also full already.
Regards
Barry H

Perhaps you could add another phrase to your tag: "...so many people, so few campgrounds."
It is a kinda sad when you listen to the real old timers and they talk about camping on the leeuwin-naturaliste coast without a soul anywhere near.
I like your photo, Stokes inlet is a great spot.
Cheers

We called into Sues
Bridge on the way
home and it was the same story there as well, full of caravans.

Cozzie,
Easter is the one time of the year we don't go camping, it is just so crowded at that time of year, I think it is worse than Xmas.

Was in my local visitor centre this morning listening to visitors trying to get accommodation over Easter.
The staff were saying that there is NO on coast accommodation/camping sites/caravan sites available anywhere south of
Perth through to
Esperance.
If you get there this afternoon you might, just might get into
Bremer Bay.
Apparently inland areas are not so packed out.
Most people coming here book for the next year as they leave this year.
Disco.
