Hello all, We are looking at taking the Labrador with us on a trip next year to Karijini. Have contacted the Shire of Ashburton re kennels so he has his holiday booked at Tom Price. Going up we will stay at Meekatharra CP which allows dogs, but coming back we are looking at somewhere around Carnarvon to free camp with him. He will be on a lead at all times as we are aware of the dangers with baits especially with him being a Labrador as he will eat anything that is not nailed down. Have the plastic bags for the poo patrol etc.
Any sugestions?


Regards

Mark

Hi Mark

If you dont mind a bit of a drive into Carnarvon. I would suggest the Quobba Blowholes. There are lots of nice (some sheltered) spots right on the beach. There are also lots of huts there that are privately owned that families use during the holdiays etc which can provide some shelter. Very nice spot, telstra reception possible near the lighthouse, great swimming and snorkelling. I think it was $5 per night, but we didnt have to pay as the caretaker had knocked off for the season. Drop loos, dump point and rubish dump.

Another one would be New Beach, south of Carnarvon. Not much shelter, but lots of level ground right near the water. Firepits, dump point, bins and some firewood. This camp was totally free. Scratchy Telstra reception.

Im not 100% sure if they are designated dog friendly, however we stayed at both for a few weeks and saw plenty of dogs enjoying their life camped under caravans.

Both are in the camps 5 book. Both very nice spots. We found the blowholes very windy tho, but that seems to be a way of life over here this time of the year.

have fun mate.

Hi Mark,
If you want to stay at a cp the Capricorn Holiday park allows dogs.
It is in Carnarvon.

You can free camp at Bush Bay / new beach. It extends south of carnarvon about 50ks. Tracks, in good condtion, take you almost all the way into carnarvon and come out near the rifle range.

Good road, easy drive. The camp spots are great of the weather is good.

Hi ray
i went to camp there last month but they have closed it for camping, it is now just a day use area.
We went into to visitor info centre and there were even big notices on the billboard advising it has been closed off to campers.
