## Overview

Campers can be of any number - GROUPS are very welcome because of unlimited space. 
WE MUST KNOW if you need access to Toilet please. More remote sites are fabulous for the self-sufficient.

WE ALSO MUST KNOW the TYPE of camping and AGES of CHILDREN - so that you are not overcharged.

We aim to make your camping experience a special time away, just you and the she-oaks, starry nights and occasional wildlife.... a warm campfire. All you need to do is ...enjoy!

We are a grain and sheep farming property situated on the Mortlock River about one and a half hours from Perth. Great for weekend campers or people needing a spur-of-the-moment break. Dogs welcome.

We have many different 'sites' for people depending on

a) PLEASE SPECIFY AT BOOKING IF YOU NEED ACCESS TO TOILET. Lots of spaces for vans etc but we need to know re placement.

b) number / age of children and adults, and

c) size and style of camping. PLEASE SPECIFY

A septic toilet is available - please advice when booking if you need Toilet access. Those who are self-sufficent have more options re remote sites.

Each site can have a campfire (in season) but - BYO WOOD please. Please make sure this is SEASONED WOOD in order to PREVENT SPREAD OF THE SHOT-HOLE BORER which will devestate our soft-wood river vegetation. Please ask is unsure. 

CAMPERS PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT disturb or take fallen timber and river debris for your camp fires. Our Eco-environment includes - possoms, birds, echidnas, lizards etc. People dragging timber and ripping off branches is unacceptable - please respect the bushland and its occupants.

You can ORDER wood through us - with advance notice please. Prices on request.

Please take all rubbish with you. This includes the tiny bits of foil and wrappings. people try to bury in the camp-fire.

Pets are very welcome - please pick up after your dogs - other campers use these sites. Dogs and kids have the best time ofall!!!

Consider a leash around the camping area. Your dogs can run free while you are walking - but be conscious of any nearby stock.
