Camped for a couple nights at
Wellington Dam couple years back, is a
good spot.

Hi There! I suggest you also try to consider
honeymoon pool. It is a great place for
camping and it is near the river. Enjoy!

Yeah you're right Rowdy6032. Thanks for that. But I just haven't tried going on a caravan trip near Collie. For me
honeymoon pool is also a great place to be considered when
camping.

I think it is the nicest
camping area by far in the vicinity of Collie.
In a single axle van you might even get away with it during the week but you would probably take up 2 bays.
The
Ranger may take a dim view of it if he came across you.

Hi Brian
An alternative would be to
camp at Grimwade between Collie & Balingup. It's an
old mill town (now abandoned) but has a nice
dam and quite a good cleared
campground. No facilities though.

Hi again Brian
We did intend overnighting at Welliongton
Dam last year but when we arrived virtually the whole area had been taken over by a school group. Tents and teenagers everywhere.
As we were on our way back to
Perth from a southern wildflower trip we deciided to bite the bullet and continue all the way
home.
Cheers
