The New Beach/ Bush Bay Campground

New Beach/Bush Bay campground is located 40km south of Carnarvon, and is a mangrove paradise, perfect for drone enthusiasts to capture aerial shots of Shark Bay World Heritage Area. It is pet-friendly, but pets should be kept on a lead due to 1080 baits in the region. Bush Bay is a popular fishing beach and a great spot to launch a tinnie. Careful location selection is important as the beaches are soft. Launching at high tide is recommended. Whiting and Flat Heads can be caught off the beach, but launching a tinnie offers the opportunity to catch larger fish and do some squidding

Additional rules

Pets are welcome; however all animals must be always kept on a lead at all times. 1080 poison is in the area and can be fatal to domestic pets. You are responsible for cleaning up after your pet to avoid inconvenience to other campers and you must never leave your pet unattended.

Respect your fellow campers and look out for each other to make everyone is staying as enjoyable as possible. No excessive noise after 9pm. Please abide by the directions of the Shire Representative
