Camping styles: tent

Reopened Wyndham council campground with tent areas, showers and paid laundry.

Use the actual campground

Wyndham's paid campground accepts tents. Do not confuse it with the separate self-contained-vehicle freedom-camping area.

Automated services

Arrange camping through Penny before relying on access or paid services. Council's reopening notice describes automated operation.

Check the official campsite information before travelling. The source-check date is not live availability or an assurance that access conditions are unchanged.
