Yes you have to book through the DPaW website. parkstaybookings.dbca.wa.gov.au/availability/?site_id=36&arrival=2021%2F09%2F25&departure=2021%2F09%2F30&gear_type=tent&num_adult=2&num_child=0&num_concession=0&num_infant=0
I didn't notice any specific canoe launching facility at Baden Powell day use area but access to the water has been greatly improved with the construction of the new steps.
I was so hoping to do a wildflower trip this year but van not ready. Nice that you were able see a few flowers. Thank you for this video. It has been awhile since I have been there. Didn't seem too busy. We're you there mid week?
About 10 years ago i use camp there regularly on my adventure bike never had a problem letting me in . One time i had the same bike on the back of my ute to camp there , and at the gate two of the ladys were going nuts refusing me entry because they said , no dirt bikes are aloud to be ridden there. I explained to them that its a licenced motorcycle and i had every right to bring it in and had told them i had camped here atleast 8 times on the same motorcycle, in the end i had to just say if you got a problem ring the ranger or the policd and just drove into the park, of course i didn't here from the ranger. It was a crazy and funny moment with these two woman .
As long as motorbikes are licensed, there shouldn't be a problem. DPaW's own page lists Lane Poole Reserve as suitable for "4WD & adventure motorcycling".
To be honest I think the online booking could do with a few tweaks to make it a bit easier to use but once you find the campsite you want to stay at, it isn't too bad. The following link shows the booking page for the Yarragil campsite : parkstaybookings.dbca.wa.gov.au/availability/?site_id=36&arrival=2018%2F11%2F17&departure=2018%2F11%2F22&gear_type=all&num_adult=2&num_child=0&num_concession=0&num_infant=0
Thanks very much for that :) I wanted to check out a certain campsite at Chuditch before we went down there, but you had the camera pointed in the other direction when you went past the site LOL. Oh well, I'll find out when we get there. Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland) :)
Yes, it is an entry fee to the area, same as for National Parks. The 'use pays' system means that entry to most national parks in W.A. is now chargeable.
thx U very informative
So informative, thanks very much :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fab spot. Always booked out altho i managed a couple of nights there in feb. Excellent. Thnx for the vid.
Very hard to get in there these days. Nanga Mill may still be a spot that can't be booked in advance.
great video very useful for my first time there
Thanks, glad it helped :)
Just hold your nose when you go into those toilets...
Do you have to book the Yarragil camp spots, and how do you book them, thanks 👍

Did they make a better and safer spot for loading canoes into the river at baden day use area ,

Great video :) did all the Charlies flat campsites have the campfire cooking pieces? I saw a few had some, but not sure if all.
Sorry, I'm not sure if they all have cooking facilities.

We went last Sunday so most people were heading home as we arrived.

Is it true you now have to pay for day use
Yes, it is an entry fee to the area, same as for National Parks. The 'use pays' system means that entry to most national parks in W.A. is now chargeable.
