Belvidere campground is in the Leschenault Peninsula Conservation Park - A spit of land that seperates Leschenault Estuary from the Ocean
Location:
150km south of Perth, 22km north of Bunbury and 10km from Australind.
Directions:
Travelling along Old Coast Road, turn either left or right onto Buffalo Road. Follow that for about 5 kms and turn left onto the track that follows the estuary. Go straight through the 'roundabout' and continue for another couple of kilometres. Take the right turn to the camp site, or the left turn to the day use area.
Facilities: Minimal
There are 11 camp sites, with some specially designed for small vans (not 5th wheelers).
Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, however fire restriction apply November - April.
Centrally located long drop toilets.
Buffalo Beach has easy access and a bitumen car park while the closer Belvidere Beach is quite pleasant if you are physically capable of clambering over sand dunes to get there.
Special Notes:
Ross River virus risk area - mosquito repellent is a must.
Dogs are NOT allowed - this is a conservation park!
Lock up your food or the possums WILL take advantage
Costs: DEC Fees
Adults [16+] $7/night; Concession $5/night;
Children [5-15] $2/night. Under 5 free.
Opinion: [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
A pleasant place to visit mid-week.
Tropical strength aerogard is a MUST during spring and summer.
Weekends can be a bit rowdy when the young 'footloose and fancy free' mob knock off work.
