A mate currently in the area recently mailed me with a trip update including current CP fees

- Sth Hedland $44
- Has been told that Exmouth is $57
- Point Sampson (Cove Point) closing to tourists soon
Fortunately, he is well set up for bush camping.

Wow! Last year it was $45 at Exmouth, and South Headland was $40 per night, powered sites. I dont think it would be safe to free-camp anywhere near either of these towns, although Cape Range NP is a lot cheaper near Exmouth. (sites limited, very difficult to get in). For us it will be a once only trip, glad we did it.

Gday...
Just got back from WA - only in SW and only got to Kalgoorlie. However, I made the comment about high prices ($35/night) at Norseman Van Park when we arrived.....the response was "I see you're from Victoria, get used to it"
Luckily I bush camp predominantly - a bloke could go broke REAL quick in WA.

We're paying $32/night in SA and paid $33 at Broken Hill. So not that much different in those states. Depends on location, time of year etc. But also means you have to balance the cost out with some free camping nights.

Get used to it as they are mining prices and Qld is going in the same direction. Point Samson was a new site was only there last year but there was a lot off mine workers staying there. Have the mines brought them out??????
i know there for the day prices, can you aks for a weekly price or something like that if you decide to stay longer ?
