Managed by Bindoon Shire. This is not a caravan park, but rather it is a parking area with power/toilet and showers which has been provided by the local shire to assist travellers. A charge of $10.00 per night is charged with a maximum stay of 3 nights. We did not stay there but thought that it should be included as one of those extra small places to stay that you come across now & then.

Report submitted by Dawn & Alan (26).

Manager's name is Annie. Bolgart is a very, very small town 50km north of Northam. This shire run park is extremely basic, as expected at $16.50 per night powered site. There are no slabs, and no onsite vans. Amenities are old, but very clean. With only 8 sites, they are adequate. Showers are large but have no dry change area. Bore water to each site is potable. Laundry is free. There is no TV reception, and phone and internet (Telstra) is only 1 or 2 bars. Playground is nearby at Shire Hall, no pool or BBQ. Road has little traffic and park is quiet, suitable for a 1 night stop.

Report submitted by Hharrier (14).

Very busy on check-in and check-out as the camp office is also the Seashells café. No explanation of facilities just handed a map and instructions - lovely coffee though. 60-70% onsite caravans which are empty and lots for sale. Currently undergoing lawn installation on caravan sites (no slabs for caravan just compacted limestone covered by shade-cloth) so these sites were roped off and unavailable, sites available were entirely only on limestone and fairly small and hard to get into because of the width of the roads. Parking by others outside their on-site cabins made it difficult to reverse into and pull out of sites, just have to hope someone is around to move their car/van/boat. $5 per wash for laundry $2 for dryer. Right on the beach but the better beach for swimming is heading south around the point about 20 mins walk. Good fishing right on the beach or off the biggest jetty about 10 mins walk north. Friendly staff. $32 2A per night, off-peak season. Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Inadequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, no sites with annex slabs, shade to some sites, hard to negotiate into site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry, no rec room, basic camp kitchen, kiosk, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Quiet, claustrophobic park, plenty of shade, many permanents. Excellent playground in good condition. No pool. Suitable for few days, suitable for families, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Close to beach, nice Seashells coffee shop, Lots of nice big gumtrees at the back of park for campers Water pressure great in showers and nice and hot
Dislikes: Bathroom amenities - locks need replacing on all doors toilet doors in gents were small (i.e. you could see over or under)
Added Touches: fish cleaning table / area and water goes very deep quickly off bay so good fishing
Local Information: Gets windy in afternoons, ask for rear protected site if this will bother you. Country Club meals across the road (north-east direction )or the Cervantes pub round the corner (south). General Store, Fish and Chips across from pub. North from Caravan Park Lobster Shack sells meals and does tours of their Western Rock Lobster Processing facility and crayfish boats, you can buy crayfish and prawns and octopus
Roads: Take Indian ocean road for scenic views

Report submitted by Jackie & Daniel (1).

As other reports indicate, this is a nice park. For others with big rigs (we have a 33' 5th wheeler), definitely book as there are not many sites large enough. We did book, and were given what was a double site just near the office, dead easy to get into and heaps of width for slideouts and room in front for the unhooked Chev. Recommend big rigs don't take the first turn left to enter the park as it has a bit of a wriggle in it, take the straighter one immediately after. After some discussion amongst the staff we were charged $32 pn rather than the $40 we had been quoted over the phone, so that was a plus (and we spent the $40 gained for 5 nights in town on lunch). Beware strong winds being right on the beach. Big rigs beware the waste station dump point - the $3 charge mentioned in previous report is only for 12 litres. We have 2 black tanks and they considered charging us a "generous discount of $50" so travelled on to the free Dump Ezy at Northampton, in a roomy location near the toilets in Essex Street, but beware other travellers who leave their vans parked in front of the dump point whilst they shop at the IGA. However, it was definitely worth stopping at Cervantes and the park itself was good.

From previous comments did not expect very much from this park, but we were pleasantly surprised. I expect new power boxes have been erected, concrete sullage pits appear to be new. There is hand wash & paper towel in the facilities & is reasonably clean. I have stayed in private parks that are much worse than this & never had such good value for money at $17.60 for 2 nights during wildflower season

The park is a fairly normal West Australian shire park and as such would certainly rate a 2, however at the time of our stay some of the site power poles did not work, none of the external lighting was working, there were no lights in the Male amenity block, there were tiles missing from the walls and in desperate need of a clean. On that basis I did not feel that it rated well. Friendly staff. Reasonable value for money ($14 2A per night, off-peak season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to most sites, were dirty, condition is poor, water pressure is good, disabled facilities.

Likes: Staff friendliness is excellent from when you book in till you leave. Everyone we talked to enjoyed their stay and participated in the barbecue on Friday evening and had hot scones after breakfast on Sunday morning. Beautiful bushland setting with tall gums and original farm buildings with sheep shearing shed. Late checkout is normal here. You don't have to be out the gate by 10am. Amenities consist of double cubicles which have individual toilet, shower and washbasin.
Parking: There is a long sweeping drive into the park, which allows multiple vehicles to park without restricting access whilst booking in.
Added Touches: Friday evening BYO barbecue hosted by Bill and Lil who genuinely enjoy meeting everyone. There are alpacas, sheep and goats on the farm which the kids are allowed to feed twice daily. Bill/Lil interact superbly with the kids, showing them how to feed the animals and pointing out the different personalities of each animal. On Sunday mornings Lil provides free hot scones, cream and jam at the camp kitchen. They are excellent and the jam is made from Gingin fresh fruits.
Local Information: It is a short distance to either Guilderton at the mouth of the Moore River or Gingin which is very picturesque country town. Gingin has excellent meals at the hotel. There are also two cafes and a bakery. The town has various shops such as Hardware, Bottle shop, Newsagents/ Supermarket (for your Lotto) and an excellent river park with old Waterwheel feature. Guilderton is a sheltered spot for a day by the sea. 4WD enthusiasts can get into the dunes or fish just S of Guilderton in the Wilbinga area. The Gravity Discovery Centre, 8kms away down Military Road is well worth a visit to learn about Einstein's theory of Gravity Waves. There is also an excellent 15 degree leaning tower to climb. Not for the faint hearted though but there is fantastic view of the local area from the top.
Roads: All local roads are sealed and in good condition at the time of our stay.

This park is far too expensive for what is offered ($28 per night for a powered site, cash only). It is part of a farm and the sites are basically in a paddock with power poles. The toilet/shower facilities were very quickly muddied because they were in the paddock. They would be very dirty if it rained.

Love this area. Very hard to get booked in though, but if you do the location is fantastic. Friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Good value for money ($186 2A 1C per week, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, separate bathroom. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, very few annex slabs, shade to most sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry, no rec room, good camp kitchen, dump point, secure entry, van parking, wireless internet is available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Peaceful, claustrophobic park, not enough shade, no permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided. No playground, no pool. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families.
Likes: Location right near the Moore River, can walk from park. Friendly atmosphere as many are regulars. Close to a local shop, for milk etc. Showers were big, water takes a bit of time to get right but when you do its good.
Dislikes: Poor lighting at night, you need a torch. The booking system is very hard to get into. Although we had stayed here this year and wanted to book for next we were told, sorry you have to phone back on Feb 5th for public. People who are known as regulars who have been coming 2 or 3 years get first choice, they can book when they leave, but you can't. Bit annoying as some campers were saying what happens, is people will actually go up to caravan park on Feb 5th and queue to get a booking for next year, someone went and he was 16th in line, and they deal with people who turn up first, not phone bookings. You'd be lucky if you can get through on the phone at all, till about lunch time. Not fair really, we were there and wanting to book for next year, and pay, but we now have to wait till Feb 5th to see if we can get through on the phone, as we live a 2 hr drive from caravan park - long way to go, just to do a booking and queue up.
Parking: A great parking bay, outside the park. You need to get out of your car and walk up a little hill to the office, then they give you a key to open the boom gate. Most of the time it's open any way.
Added Touches: No added touches when we were there, as its so close to a river most people are out on the river during the day, but nothing for night time, make your own entertainment.
Local Information: Moore river: the river almost meets the ocean, there is a sand bar which separates the river and ocean. If you like the waves, you can go in the ocean, for kids and those who don't the river is great. Nice clean water, safe for swimming, kayaking and canoeing, you can hire canoes and dinghies from the car park if you want to.
Roads: Main roads down to the park, so good. Roads in the park are sand roads, but been compacted very well.

Very easy to get to on main Indian Ocean Drive, just turn left a few metres and you're there at caravan park. Reception staff very friendly, no pool as close to the beach. Beach can be quite wavy at times, so not great for little kids. No pool. Ground is very hard to bang pegs in, some were using drills. No night lighting at all. Showers were quite good, water pressure good, hot water good, but I found very small, I had to nearly stand in shower again to open the cubicle door to get out. Big sites. Good to see cleaners going around and bins getting emptied. Very close to shops - IGA, chemist, newsagent, baker, petrol. A man called Buzza comes twice a week for a bit of country and western singing. Jumping pillow for kids. Friendly staff. Good value for money ($245 2A 1C per week, powered, peak season). Inadequate number of amenities, are close to most sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, very few annex slabs, shade to some sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry, no rec room, basic camp kitchen, kiosk, dump point, van parking, wireless internet is available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Quiet, open & roomy park, not enough shade, a few permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided. Basic playground in average condition. No pool. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families.
Likes: Close to the beach, shops and cafe. Drive through on most powered sites. The fact that the police drove through the park now and again. There is a jumping pillow for kids, it is a bit old and faded though.
Dislikes: No night lighting. Ground very hard to put pegs into. Not great TV reception, we could only get ABC TV. Not a lot of toilets in the block we used. Park is near a bottle shop bar, so could get loud music sometimes.
Parking: There is a bay that you can park outside office, whilst you go and book.
Added Touches: Jumping pillow for the kids. Depending on time of year, Saturday and Wednesday nights be entertained by Buzza, an elderly man who comes down and sings, plays guitar and tells funny stories. Cafe right at front of park, but it does close about 6 pm.
Local Information: Beach right out front of caravan park, this has a jetty that people can jump off into ocean. Beach can get quite wavy at times, not good for little kiddies. There is a marina in town which is about 5 mins from park, which is lovely for kids who want to play in the water - they can swim no problems, water is clean, and there is a great grassed area for picnics. 10km north of Jurien Bay is a fantastic spot called Sandy Cove, the drive in though can be pretty rough. It's stunning, the water is amazing and clear like out of a brochure, worth the drive. Park is close to shops, like IGA, bakery, newsagent, chemist, hardware.
Roads: Roads around the town are all very good, proper sealed roads.

Fantastic location as all shops are an easy walk from the park. Amenities were kept spotless. Free gas BBQ's located all around the park. Giant jumping pillow for the kids. We stayed here a week and I wish I had the time to stay longer. Advise if you have a camp trailer the tent sites are not big enough; we could only squeeze ours in with no room for parking. Advise you to pay a little more for a powered site as it has both room for your car also. Staff very friendly and we were fortunate that the park wasn't packed so we were able to park our car on the neighbouring site. Beautiful place to stay; can't wait to go back. Basic camp kitchen with one toaster and microwave and one fridge. Very friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Very good value for money ($32 2A, unpowered, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people.

Medium sized park, mainly cabins and old on-site caravans. Reception staff very abrupt. Tourist sites small to medium in size. We paid $38.00 for the first 2 nights (due to school holidays) and $33.00 for the next 3 nights. With Top Tourist discount this averaged out to $31.50 per night. There are 2 amenity blocks - 1 is in reasonable condition and the other is in need of refurbishment. Soap and hand dryers provided. 2 basic laundries and 2 camp kitchens with free BBQ's. There is a jumping pillow but no playground (although there are 2 just outside the park). No swimming pool.
Likes: The park is very well placed right across the road from the beach, new jetty and shops.
Dislikes: The dry areas in the showers and the toilet cubicles are very small. Cleanliness is reasonable although the ceilings and extractor fans would benefit from an occasional clean. The Jumping Pillow is blown up far too early in the morning.
Things to do and see: Lesueur National Park, The Pinnacles, Green Head, Cervantes, Fishing. Good cycle/walking track along the waterfront.

Very clean park, nice shower/toilet area. Sites are reasonable size in a very open looking park. Shared BBQ / kitchen area was good. We stayed on a powered site, and there's nice looking chalets up on a hill and other accommodation there too. They organised the layout of the park well. Nice place to go if you have young family - kids enjoyed the pool (large umbrellas for shade and sun lounges), jumping pillow and playground and could be easily supervised riding around the open park. Did not appear overly crowded even though it was a busy time of year. Plenty to do around the place if you have a 4WD - we loved the sand dunes, though they were easier to get up to when we went in winter. Not much shade yet - trees dotted about are still growing, though this didn't bother us.

It sounded like a good idea at the time when the manager said that there were "No rules - just use your common sense". Meaning the dogs didn't have to be on a leash. You then again realise why they need to be on a leash as the owners were letting them wander around doing wees and poos without their noticing and then not being picked up. There didn't seem to be any noise cut-off time and the park was out of control. We had a man and his 2 sons in a tent beside us and he had heavy metal music going until 11 pm. Thankfully he left the next day. Nobody seemed too concerned. Again the beach was full of seaweed and no swimming.

Although I have given the accommodation a very low rating New Norcia is well worth the visit and you do need to stay a night to support them as the monks own and run everything even the service station. We went to the beautiful big hotel for a beautiful dinner. The guides who show you around New Norcia are very well versed in the town of course and very well worth the tour and viewing the huge museum. You don't have to go to Europe to see 'old world' buildings, it's right here in WA. Put it on your must see list. They really need your support for the upkeep of the beautiful buildings.

Managed by New Norcia administration. Self contained vehicles overnight camping on level ground next to sporting oval. No facilities available but toilets across the road behind the buildings. There is a rubbish bin. This area can be very boggy after rain. $7 per night per vehicle payable at museum. Can be noisy at night with trucks passing by. Lovely scenery though, especially in winter when it is all green. The town is planning a new short stay caravan park on the golf course behind the road house with level sites and some power, and amenities. When this opens there will be no camping allowed on the old site next to the oval. This all depends upon the funding so it could be some time before it happens.

Not really a park but a rough area behind the service station. At only $7 a night don't expect too much. Access to power but any site close to the power pole is very uneven - we decided to go without and park on level ground. Access by key to the showers - also access to public toilets in the middle of the space. However the town is worth a day or so and I would highly recommend the tour of the facilities. We had dinner at the hotel and it was good home cooked fare. You will be asked for a $10 deposit for the dunny key, but don't plan on an early get away as the servo doesn't open until 9am.

Average staff friendliness, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($20 2A 2C per night). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is poor. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, shade to most sites. No rec room, late checkout allowed (up to noon), kiosk. Quiet, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, family/friendly atmosphere, a few permanents. Clean gas bbq ($1.00). Basic playground. Suitable for overnighter, suitable for families, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Proximity to Perth (less than 1 hr). Sand dune meets camping area at one end, is great for children to play on and run up and down. Some nice trees to camp under. Able to use resort's facilities (eg. pool). Management seem to keep a lid on noise, no problems at all. Walking distance to the beach.
Dislikes: Amenity block quite run down, and the one in the middle of the camp area has been closed down since my last visit in November (it was gross, so no huge loss, but if it was clean would have been convenient). Unfortunately there is also now a huge construction site (probably a land development) right next door to the park, so the easterly wind howls through in the mornings and brings sand and dirt with it. And it's wrecked the ambience of the nicer end of the park, as you now overlook bare sand.
