Camping at Exmouth or Monkey Mia

I would prefer to go to exmouth. Better shore based fishing in my opinion. If staying in the cape range national park I think you need to book.

Why not visit both places in one trip?

Hi. My brother is currently near Exmouth at a place I think is called Mesa. You have to line up at a gate early morning and wait for someone to leave,first in best dressed. He has been there three weeks and said up until last week that the fish were not biting all that well but still a great place to camp. Bob.

If camping at exmouth I found all the dec campsites full....... except the 2 campsites south if yardie which were deserted. Once the bitumen stops so do 99% of the campers

Exmouth is where I was thinking, getting some useful tips from a few local boys from work. Can get to a few good spots where the charter boats go fishing in a bay but you can 4wdrive there and camp It's on a station property

Hi Turbo, Whilst I am not too familiar with Exmouth camping options, I have done a few trips to the Shark Bay region. IMO, Monkey Mia itself is over priced and over rated, Denham is a nice place and maybe considered the poor cousin of Monkey Mia although I would stay in Denham again long before Monkey Mia. Nanga station on the way too Denham has a caravan park which is basically on the waters edge, looked ok when I went fishing there but I didnt stay there. North of Denham is Cape Peron, I did a day trip there and always thought I would go back there camping one day. But the pick for me from a purley isolation (4WD Only), fishing and relaxation point of view would be Steep Point either at the point itself or in one of the bays leeding to the point. Better fishing also as the whole of Shark Bay has more stringent fishing rules (Pink Snapper point of view) than Steep Point. Basically a a imaginary line from Rangers Staion accross to Dirk Hartog island - Ocean Side rules are different to Bay side.

Cheers

Can recommend Cape Peron - speccy place.

For Nigaloo - unless you want to go through the NP argy-bargy for a camp site - I'd definitely recommend Yardie Homestead - nice place, nice people, relaxed and it's only 20-30 mins down to Ningaloo anyway.

Ok found out exmouth to busy in august so ill be heading Yardie homestead seems relaxed and easy access for fishing thanku everyone for your advice ill have to visit all the spots mentioned thanku

Thanks JB yes i cant wait we are staying for about 12 nights, i spoke to the station owner a day or so ago and i asked for a good camp site out of the direct line of the wind once it starts to blow.he has told me Jane bay is a very nice spot.He said to go have a look at the site ,and if i dont like can pick another.I thought that was nice of him.Yes plan to do alot of fishing my wife loves fishing.Trying to find a cheap tinny i can take on me camper trailer im so looking forward to it mate.
