Yardie Creek camp site, National Park, Coral Bay, WA


Staying there for almost 3 weeks late Sept/Oct.  Any suggestions from others who have stayed there?  Whats the fishing and snorkeling like?  Any outstanding places to go or things to do?

Make sure you check to see if it is open yet.  The national park closed due to damage from Cyclone Jack earlier this year.  Parts were closed indefinitely. Check out on http://parks.dpaw.wa.gov.au/park/cape-range 

Enjoy your stay if you do get there.  We had our booking cancelled due to the damage, fortunately, we were not there when the storm hit, several caravans were washed out to see.

Cripes, what a shock that would have been, didn't see anything in the news about it, I hope the owners were ok and not in their vans. hmm

Not the cheapest places to visit,  $52.00 per night at the light house caravan park,

A block of xxxx $30.00 in Perth,  $40.00 in exmouth

when we were up there, we wanted to head down to Yardie creek but could only get as far as the boom gates where the rangers are stationed,

they had closed the road and wouldn't let any more campers though until someone left. it was full tourist season at the time.

If you go snorkeling watch out for the jelly fish they sting something shocking.

I camped at various National Park Campgrounds in April 2012 and enjoyed the scenery.

I found that the snorkelling was best at Turquoise Bay.

My comments at the time can be found

Never found the need to visit caravan parks either then or now.

All of the camp grounds in the National Park at Exmouth are open now - others are still closed in nearby Parks. We have a 12 mnth WA park entry and also a WA Seniors Card, so 3 weeks cost us less than $250, otherwise its $10 pp. All of the Parks camp sites here now have to be pre-booked on-line - a very easy to use web site and shows each site at each camp ground and what days in each month is booked. Saves the turning up and finding the camps are already full

very rude of me in not thanking you all for your feed-back. Went into momentary panic with the comments on the Park being closed due to earlier storm, then after the dementia had moved on, realized that this site and others in the part are mostly open, as we booked our one on-line (no queuing at gate) and that I had made several inquiries by email direct to Park staff and asking them to arrange perfect weather and fishing for our stay (they have a sense of humour and said that they would)
