Tony`s Bend campground reviews
18 Was lucky to get a booking here for one night at camp site 13
Keep food hidden, tho cause the kangaroos will get to it if you leave it out at night
Had a possum and kangaroos go through our camp pretty cool to be in nature.
Storms on Friday night meant the campsite was very quiet, only a few others camping. Ranger came round to check everything survived and no one was camping without paying
Initially had a site booked here but we were double booked and subsequently moved to Charlie's Flat. This site is very open, no privacy. Good if you had multiple groups that wanted to be close but not my cup of tea. So glad the rangers were able to move us.
We stayed for 3 nights in October.we didn't experience any marsh fly issues, even the mozzies weren't that bad, we didn't use bug repellent once. The drop toilets were the best I've come across, even my son, who's never used one before wasn't to put off!
Our camp site, number 2, was much larger than I expected, could of fitted 3 dome tents on it, though only room for one you could squeeze in a 2nd, but it'd be tight. Site was in good condition and clean.
Had friendly ducks visiting us each evening which was nice. Lots of bird life around in general.
Nice spot for some some camping. Sites seem a little close together for my liking (hence the loss of a star) but overall a really good spot to set up for a few nights. The river is only a short walk away. To avoid missing out, make sure you book … when we were there it was full and people would drive in and then out. I can only assume they were looking for a spot to sleep for the night.
A little further down the track but has more spacious camping spots than Charlie's Flat, and a better campsite layout. Bring some bug repellent or prepare to be set-on by nasty biting March flies (pictured)? ️
Nice size camping area and close to the river. Fire pit and cooking plate. Downside was the drop hole was a bit ripe.
Very lovely spot to camp and swim. We took some paddle boards down too. Very well set up with a little place for a camp fire and a cooking spot. Also had table and bench chairs there to sit at
This place is boring, no power, no showers. Just peace and quiet, a few cold beer's and a camp fire.
Great family camping area. Booking ahead of time is a must, but once you are here you can let the kids roam free without too many worries. Everyone else is doing it.
Bring your own firewood though, we are doing about 3/4 of a 15kg bag a night (including the morning fire) but if you’re on campsite #4 you’ll probably use less as the fireplace is thinner and taller than the rest of them.
Two drop dunnies service the whole place, but they were functioning properly when we were there and the smell was definitely tolerable. If you have delicate noses in your group, make other arrangements.
The river is close by and has mild and medium water turbulence. Very pleasant Australian bush river setting.
Nice spacious camp ground, good location. I brought my own toilet paper but found I didnt need to as there was plenty in the drop toilets. Would go back.
This camping ground is my favourite camping ground in dwellingup. It’s private and peaceful and the swimming area is situated very close. The water is clean and safe but of course cold. Easy to get to with 2WD and not far out of town.
Plenty of wildlife. Nature at its best
Long drop toilets, bring u own food and water.
Recommend Leon. P.
Tonys bend is a great camping spot but toilet and shower is a big problem. Need to have portable toilet and shower.
We stayed here for two nights in February. Our spot was good size which was good. Unfortunately there were heaps of march flies around which was annoying (not that anything can be done about that). I have been to a lot of drop toilets and have to say it's the worst I've ever experienced.
Great spot. Shady and close to the river and island pool. Downside was the horse flys and not much breeze. Would be excellent on a sunny winter weekend.
Have never actually stayed here myself but in the surrounding camp sites, but it looks pretty nice. Varying sizes in camp spots and near the water as well. Think there is limited camp spots available so booking i think is a definite.
A great camping spot if you want to exclude yourself from the world. You will be cut off from the world with no mobile signal. But hey, isn't this what you want at times to detox and recharge.
The place is secluded and the camp sites are very well defined. You can have a personal campfire as there is plenty of wood stock available. A great family experience and there are a few walks along the river as well. Make sure you buy some masks if you are intending to use the toilet. (You will need them as there is no other option). But this is one of the things you will remember about this place. All fun.
Nice but older camping spot near the river. Far enough into Lane Poole park that it's not well visited in winter. Can get muddy when raining and drainage of some camp sites needs improvement. You are supposed to book ahead on the WA Parks website. There is a fee.
