Hi Everyone
We have decided that we may take a few days break between Christmas and New Years. Work commitments dictate such a small window unfortunately.
Can anyone recommend a decent, dog friendly site for this period? We had got a spot at
Denmark but they will only let us take one dog. As we have two beautiful Jack Russells, its kind of blown that option out of the window. Not happy with the
campsite but accept their policy and understand.
We would have normally headed to
Kalbarri but the other half feels it maybe too hot. Having just researched the weather, she may have a point.
We are therefore asking for your input for
places down south. Its not a specialist area for us, so as always any information that you can give would be invaluable.
Cheers Guys

Grab yourself the "Dog Friendly camping South WA" book. Its a thin blue book for about $20.
It has mostly free camps and some $7 per night ones. Not so much about caravan parks thought.
We free camped for 2 weeks between
Esperance and Margaret River Christmas 2010 with 2 large dogs and a caravan and a camper trailer.
Found some excelent spots - however we found towards Margaret river (between xmas and NY) it got packed quick and we struggle to find a suitable spot. So if you can, get in early or go to some the the quieter spots and stay there.
Spots like Parry's beach (i think thats what its called) down near
Albany was full the week before xmas, so might pay to steer clear of those type of
places.
But if you are self sfficent for a few days try
places like stokes or torbay inlet or norman's beach. They were incredible spots that we loved. Pemberton was also great. Not sure how busy it would get there at that time of year.

Rusty you maybe right. Due to our dates we'll have to avoid caravan parks. Due to work commitments we can't go outside of the dates we stated. Our van is on its way over from
Melbourne and is fully self-sufficient so we'll look into
places like Norman's Beach and Stokes.
If they are anything like
Sandy Cape to the north, we feel that also we'll be out of luck there too. Its such a gamble and the dates really work against us. Everyone will be in and set before we even get on the road. We will definately be last in!!! :(
Thanks for the pointers though.
