We stayed here for 3 nights from Boxing Day 2007 and have booked to go back on Christmas Eve, for 5 nights, this year.
We have yet to brave bush camping, but this site is probably as close as you can get, but with all the modern facilities that other sites offer. It is set in bushland and offers powered and un-powered campsites and also chalet accommodation.
The sites are grass covered, but when we went in December, this was fairly crispy and sandy! All sites are level and are separated by trees and bush tracks. There is a huge proliferation of wildlife, kangaroos, possums and birds. The kangaroos come right through the sites – so you have to watch your footing for Roo poo!
Our friend who was staying at the site with us now tells a story about how he was knocked from one side of the airbed to the other when a large Roo struck the side of the tent with its tail! The possums will also eat apple offered to them.
There is a covered camp kitchen with BBQs and tables etc. The ablutions were older but were in a good state of repair and clean, there was loads of hot water. The park also has a play area, tennis court, basketball, volleyball and small shop in reception.The drinking water is all filtered rain water.
The park is close to Gracetown (2.5kms) and its beach, which is sheltered and is great for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. Of course the Margaret River Region is renowned for it’s world-class surf breaks and wine. It is only 10 minutes from Margaret River and it’s restaurants and shops.This is a great site, that offers bush camping with the convenience of power, water and clean showers/toilets. The atmosphere of the park is relaxed and friendly, this is helped by the large sites, the trees and tracks. The site does have a no noise after 10pm rule, which is enforced by the owners.
As I have said at the beginning we are going back for Christmas this year – cant wait!
