Camping North of Perth

What so you can hoon around like you profile pictures imply.

A bit further North we used have a Caravan in a park at Leeman. Both Leeman and Jurian Bay are excellent places, you can still drive along the coast to fish at various places. I used to camp at those places when a lot younger. They are my choice spots Within a day of Perth. Cheers Tony

Try Wedge island. It is a fantastic spot just North of Lancelin. Beautiful beaches and some good fishing. You need to travel for an hour or so on tracks or if the weather and conditions are right you can take half an hour on the beach. The track inland is however the safest and a nice drive. Crack a beer as you leave Lancelin. Drive on past the dunes at Lancelin and basically follow the tracks. They go all over the place but most lead you to the spot in the end.

Hi Broe

We spent 3 nights at Ledge Point caravan park a couple of months ago. Nice park a bit $35 a night (peak period) and only 10 minutes from Lanclin

Hey Broe!!

Try Moore River Caravan Park, it's right on the river mouth, facilities are good (just done some work) and only 1 hr north.

Good luck and enjoy with your daughter wherever it is you go.

Sandy Cape is about 10km north of Jurien Bay. Large campsite (no power) and a great little bay for swimming, fishing, exploring the rocks etc.

No bookings are taken so it is first in, best dressed.

Thanks all, it seems after some internet research that Sandy Cape will be the first I visit.

Once again, thanks for all the input.

Happy camping.

Hi mate

We went up the Cervantes/Jurien over Easter.
Tried to get out at Sandy Cape, but the track is shocking - scratched the bleep out of my Hilux with all the scrub vegetation.
In the end it was getting dark and had a flattened battery, from leaving the fridge on all day, so we went back to Cervantes to be sure.
Cervantes is nice at the moment. I've been there twice in the last couple of months and there's no seaweed around.
We camped just north of town off the beach (5mins back to town). It's a beautiful bay there and there aren't the people around like you get at Wedge Island.
There is also no need to drive for 45mins on sand/dirt like there is get to Wedge, so Cervantes takes about the same time to get to as Wedge.
If you're up in the Cervantes/Jurien area, be sure to check out Stockyard Gully caves. They are worth seeing and are on the Cockleshell Gully road, which is off the Greenhead to Corrow road.

Goodluck

Hey Broe, I'll lodge a vote for Moore River as well. Its got a lot to offer kids with safe swimming areas and great beaches inside and outside the river mouth, also sandboarding down the steeper sand faces at the river mouth or upstream, great bread & butter species fishing and nice grassed bbq areas too. You can whip up to Lancellin and have some fun in the dunes and drop into seabird and ledge point too. There is good 4wding and fishing heading south from Moore River alll the way to Two Rocks as well. Its a pretty good little base thats nice and close and easy to get too.

Cheers

Many thanks Oz Wasp and Robert.

Sometimes it is the places that you wouldn't expect that are often the best.

Not to keen on scratching the hilux unnecessarily.
