Camping at Three Mile Pool near Onslow, WA

I have only been into Onslow by sea so not fimarlular with the land side but just be aware there were reports of a salty sightings last year in the Ashburton .Not aware whether it has been caught or moved on the locals would know.

A couple of years ago yeah. There were a few caravans along the river and the gen was that you needed permission from the station but you can check that out in town.

I liked Onslow because it's off the beaten track and still a dumpy sort of place with nothing flash about it. real country pub and the caravan park was friendly. You get some dedicated amatuer fishers that hire a cabin and tow the boat up but they wont be happy if it is blowing a lot.

the old town (abandoned) seems to interest those who like picking up bits of broken old rubbish and there is the old police post complete with lock up.

I wonder if the pressure is off the caravan parks now that the season is moving on. I hated travelling up the coast last time.

Hi

Sorry but its windy in Onslow too! Worst than that the old Onslow site on the Ashburton River isnt worth camping at as one of the mines is working just over the river and you cant sit out of the dust anywhere, not to mention the noise of the haul trucks.

You have to pass the campsite on the Ashburton to get to onslow, on your way into onslow where you turn off the ashburton bridge is just up the road,turn left just over the bridge and you will find any amount of camping spots, if you have a 4wd it's worth going right down to the mouth, good fishing there as well, then you can take the track up through old onslow to the town itself.

camped at three mile pool for 3 days back in july. Beaut spot, not much bother from the mine only a few cars passing down the track in morning and at knockoff time. Wind blew dust away from camp then. Pays to take some ant dust for around caravan plenty of ants. Well worth a visit.
