Baden Powell Campground

These campsites are situated within Lane Poole Reserve.

A popular park 100kms south of Perth near the town of Dwellingup, the Reserve comprises around 55,000 hectares of forests and valleys and is ideal for picnics and bushwalking.

The lovely Murray River is a feature of the park, and attracts visitors keen on canoeing, fishing and swimming.

Camping is very popular here and the Baden Powell campsites are extremely well set up and some have wheelchair access.

Bring your own water and firewood, as wood may not be collected within the reserve, and please keep your dog on a leash. In summer, a fire ban applies.
