Hi, we are into our second week of our trip and are heading up the coast. We are booked into Kalbarri for Easter after leaving Moore River, however as we have to get some work done on the van Thursday, we will not get away from North Perth till after lunch. I was wondering if anyone has stayed at any bush camps in the above areas.

It is just for the night to break up the trip, and the free camps book 4 has one at Dongara East which would appear to be a rest area? Any info appreciated as not familiar with this area, except what is shown on the news....... hence the question.
Regards

Hi Waza & Wend

With no answers yet, i add i have no recent knowledge of the route you refer to, and have lent all my camping books for that area so can't check. I think the rest area runs a little away from the road, but not enough for a quiet night if you aren't used to traffic. You may be able to pull off the road if you find a better place prior to meeting the east-west road, and use this as back up. If that all fails, we have stayed at both CPs in Pt Denison a few years back when we were tenting, and both were OK; one on the water's edge near the fishing boat harbour, and the other a bit further south in the sand hills near a nice swimming the beach.

I just came across this if you want quiet and don't mind the detour. It is probably in Camps 4 also.

Ellendale is lovely but is also local bike gang camp spot - should be OK on Thurs - otherwise take lots of Easter Eggs - chocolate has a calming effect!

If you go into the members only section and file swaps, GPS Doug has all the free campsites for WA and other States in an Excell program. WA alone has 500 sites listed with coordinates of course.
