This is a great place to stay; it is about 4 hours South of Perth, between Busselton and Dunsborough on the edge of the Margaret River wine region.It gets its name from all the peppermint gums scattered around the park. These provide a home for possums, which you can see in the trees as it goes dark (just watch out for their personal reticulation), and also you can see Bandicoots running around.
The park is immaculately kept, and provides beautifully grassed tent sites, en suite sites and cabins. There are no residential vans. There are gas BBQs and picnic tables all around the park and the camp kitchen is clean, spacious and very well appointed. There is also a games room and kids play area.The park has 2 swimming pools, which were new at the end of last year.
The showers and toilet blocks are all modern, well maintained and most importantly clean. There are laundry facilities attached.The Owners/Managers walk around, chat and just make sure everybody is happy and that things are good. One time when it was very windy we got back to find that he had made sure the tent was secure and nothing was blowing away – now that’s what I call good.
The roads are paved and make a good cycle track for the kids, helmets must be warn, there are drive through sites for vans.The park also goes quiet by about 9.30-10pm, even when there have been groups, everybody seems to have respect for each other as well as the environment, yet it still retains a relaxed, welcoming and friendly feel.Overall I would highly recommend this park, the biggest downside is that it is a bit to far to go for the weekend.
