The camping trial is well and truly underway on Henry White Oval with many visitors enjoying the experience of camping in Yanchep National Park. The online booking system went live on 1 July with Kevin Washer of Perth being the first to make a reservation.
Kevin and his family pitched tents on a grass site in July and told staff he and his family enjoyed the experience very much despite the wintry weather!
With the changing of the season it is also time for our inaugural volunteer campground hosts to move on. Robin and Carole Barker of Quinns Rocks have been meeting and greeting campers around the clock since the campground opened.
Park manager Julia Coggins said Robin and Carole have provided an invaluable service.
 "As our very first campground hosts it’s been wonderful to have them onsite to greet campers and they’ve also been able to provide us with detailed feedback on a range of points that will be submitted for consideration as part of the greater trial process,” she said.
“We’d like to thank Robin and Carole for investing the past two months with us and wish them all the very best on their future endeavours."
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer campground host please contact the park office on 9303 7760 for more information.
There are still some camp sites available for camping in the spring school holidays. To make a booking or for more information see parkstay.dpaw.wa.gov.au.

Mark Varley has worked in Yanchep National Park since February 2011. As senior ranger he is responsible for the overall operational aspects of the park and heads up a team of works crew, which also includes two other rangers.
If you’ve walked the wetlands trail recently you are sure to have spotted a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) or two.
