Hi everyone.
We're leaving
Perth in 2 weeks and heading east planning to spend
Easter free camped somewhere around
Streaky Bay.
Haslam or
Perlubie Beach are possibilities but I think that Perlubie may be a bit sand boggy for the van. We've stayed there before in Oct. 2008 but not stayed at
Haslam. What's
Haslam like and are there any other alternatives around the area? We're hoping to get there a couple of days before
Easter and get in early for a good spot - depends on headwinds of course.
Many thanks
John& Helen

Hi
John and Helen
We loved
Haslam, which in 2005 was an honesty box
camping area by the jetty. Very quiet, although very windy when we got there.
By that time the showers and power had been removed due to people outstaying their welcome and not paying enough. There were flush
toilets and water.

Close to
Easter the Eyre Peninsula is very crowded! It is a very popular
Easter and school holiday destination at that time and it is also a very popular time for fishermen! All camping spots are likely to be full if you arrive close to
Easter! Caravan Parks will require advance booling. Last year we did not book and could not get a place between
Streaky Bay and
Ceduna - we got the last site at
Shelley Beach CP in
Ceduna a few days before
Easter. All free camps were full. You might be better off to book ahead in a CP rather than rely on turning up to a
free camp just before
Easter. Otherwise arrive at the Eyre Peninsula a bit later - we found the Nullarbor great over
Easter and easily spent a week getting fom
Ceduna to
Norseman Lynne!
