Alexandra Bridge Campground - WA

We visited in May 2014 and had a lovely few days despite the constant drizzling rain. A new toilet block is near the entrance, with the old block relegated to busy times only (due to minimum distance of 100m+ rules). Exposed cold water shower, flushing toilets - one of which is set up for wheelchairs, and hand basins. No firewood was available at the camp site - BYO is always the better option. Wood can be purchased from Nillup General Store, Karridale and Augusta. Karridale roadhouse can also refill a gas bottle if they don't have any 'swap' bottles of the required size available. Potable water is available from a tap attached to a tree in the middle of the. The weekend after Mother's Day was very busy as a local Harriers group arrived on Friday evening for their 'fishing competition' weekend. We suspect not many fish took the bait due to the over abundance of 'burley' in the water (grins). A great place to spend some time relaxing, and a good base camp for exploring the local area. The facilities and general cleanliness are a credit to the caretaker's hard work.

We camped here for two nights in late October 2010 and even though it was raining found it to be perfect. Very dog friendly with many other campers also with friendly dogs. Our border Collie had a great time socialising. The people next to us had two very friendly Staffy's and informed us they had been coming here for years and there were no 1080 fox baits in the near vicinity of the campground. It was quite busy when we arrived on the Tuesday which was surprising as there was nobody at Sue's bridge when we drove through. Many caravans, motor homes and camper trailers. Some drive thru sites. We were only one of two in tents! If you are lucky you may score a spot by the river. There is a boat ramp, outdoor shower, water, and male and female plumbed toilets all quite tidy. The caretaker does his rounds each day and collects money, tidies up etc. Firewood available for cooking on supplied BBQ's only. Cost for us was $6 per Adult per night. Very happy to pay that! We tried our luck fishing for black bream but no bites from the shore. Spoke to a guy who fished from his Kayak - said he got some good BB using soft plastics. Had good phone coverage with Telstra next G and also mobile internet with the same. There was a general store 5kms east. Photos to follow soon!!!
