Parrys Beach & William Bay in West Aust.

We went to parrys about a year ago. Great spot. If you are taking a caravan there are low overhanging branches so be careful. There was a toilet block there with solar showers so get in early. No power there. Can't remember the price but it was reasonable. You could have a fire and buy a wheelbarrow of wood from caretakers.

Been a while since we've been there, but Parry Beach is a nice campsite, with plenty of peppermint trees for shade, and they also help block the wind, which could be an advantage this time of year. There was an resident volunteer to collect fees, which were pretty cheap, I recall. A nice base to check out the coast and hinterland. Elephant Rocks is a great spot to visit.
Checking the CALM map, as I read it, I think William Bay campsite is actually on the Bibbulmun Track, rather than the coast. Not sure if it's available for general campers.
There are also a couple of free huts available, one at the base of Mt Frankland, and another to the north of Walpole, but it's first-come, first served. Max stay allowed is about 4 days. The Mt Frankland one has a fireplace, I recall, but the other hut you must use the outside fire pit.
Take plenty of warm things this time of year!!

Hi Kevmac

Low Cost Camp Ground at Parry Beach (not sure of fee).Toilets, showers (hot if you get in early), camper’s kitchen and limited power via a generator. Fees, volunteer caretaker on site in peak periods. Can get crowded in peak periods – no bookings. Generators permitted within specified times.

No camping at William Bay.

Parrys is a really good set up, lots of areas thorughout the area for camping, Peaceful bay and Walpole to the west within 30km and denmark to the east approx 30km. Well worth the trip...

We popped in and had a look at Parry Beach over Easter - I have wanted to camp there for some time, but the plans keep drifting and we keep missing it. It looked great. There are some low hanging branches, but the campsites were all nicely sheltered from any wind. It was very busy at Easter, which suggests to me that it's generally a good spot to stop at off-peak times. I noticed there was a payphone, as well as the amenities block and campers kitchen.

We're also aiming for the Stirling Ranges in Springtime.

Have fun,
