Sue's Bridge Camping Area - South West WA

Hi Karl. Been a few years since I have been there. Only camped at Sue's bridge, but was a top spot. designated camp sites with bush between sites.Concrete ring
B-B-Q and table at each site, wood supplied by Calm. Don't know about fishing
but we took a canoe and paddled down river nice and peaceful. You may have to
carry canoe over rocks in some parts. A long weekend it may be crowded and you
might get a camp site. Watch for Leeches it you go swimming.
Hope this helps. Brian

earlier this year (maybe late 2005) much work was being done around sues bridge by calm with many camping areas closed or being closed. best check with dec (previously calm) to find out exactly what is what down there. as for the aust day weekend - hopefully most of the moron element will be in perth for the annual get drunk and fight fireworks show so it may be ok..............but then again it might just be better going after school goes back early feb. rgds

Karl can't help with the campsites but Marsh flies are a real nuisance down that way at the moment so stock up on plenty of Bushman or Rid. Hope to be down that way also for the Aust Day weekend, but staying at the Barabup Sanctuary

Hi Karl....was down there recently at sues bridge...calm has done a lot of work...bbq's, campers kitchen, plenty of firewood, drinking water, etc but is very popular and comes with a nightly fee of about $6-12 ( I think..not sure) collected by ranger, but this fee is pretty standard most places, ie blackpoint, lake jasper,etc.
Since it is the holidays..you can't even get there early to secure a spot, so best of luck, regards Phil

Hi Karl was there at Sues Bridge over Christmas. Was infact very empty then. A top spot great camp sites plenty of shade(lovely big marri and jarrah trees) a great table fire-spot plenty of firewood and rain water tank.

There are 2 more camping areas out on mowen road . Mowen road is a gravel road that runs east and about 10km to the North of the Sues Bridge. The two camping spots are called workmans pool and the barabup camping area which are on (I think Barabup North Road ) which runs off Mowen road you cant miss it.

Nice spots too but the Sues Bridge is best for canoeing. No march flies when I was there but flies in the day were a bit of a pain. Will definitely go there again

Thanks for everyone's responses - unfortunately plans have changed as my wife is now working late Thursday night so we can't head off that afternoon.

Might look at Lane-Poole Reserve - bit closer to home at Rockingham.
