Hello all,
Can anyone please give any advice on the above
camping spots, thinking of
camping for a few days and will be taking a our dog with us also.
I will be towing a camper trailer so the plan is to
camp near or on
the beach for a bit of R&R.
Sandy Cape /point is north of
Jurien Bay
cheers and all the best,
stamps

Sandy Cape is a very nice spot and you should have the pick of sites at this time of year.There is an honour box with envelope as you come in where you pay your daily fee which is not very much.You are vertually on
the beach with a very sheltered area on the southern end.There are 2 drop
toilets and a fresh
water tank.It is only a short drive in on a good gravel road from the main road a short distance (about 10-15k) north of Jurian.best to avoid school holiday time but in Oct. you should still have a choice of sites.You can launch a tinny of
the beach but pay attention to the closed fishing areas which are signposted on
the beach.Hope this helps,

pretty much what rambler said about
sandy cape
as for south of the grenough river, the
Wilbinga area its been a while since i was there but AFAIK you can still
camp there no fees and no amenaties

Wilbinga is about 400km from
Greenough River!
I assume hes referring to the area between Flat Rocks and
Greenough River Mouth?
Just do it discreetly, there are dozens of tucked away areas and Id be amazed if you spotted a
ranger away from the road outside of holidays?

Hi stamps
If your click on the .pdf document from the linked page, it has a map of the
camp sites, details and fees charged for
Sandy Cape. They tell me it gets crowded school holidays and long weekends.
