Illegal Camping
Under the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995, it is an offence to camp, other than in a registered Caravan Park or Camping Ground. "Camp" is defined as meaning any portable shed or hut, tent, tent fly, awning, blind or any other portable thing used as, or capable of being used for, habitation and includes a vehicle of a prescribed type or in a prescribed circumstance.
Camping or sleeping in your vehicle/caravan overnight in the City of Busselton is not permitted unless you are using a caravan park. This includes all State or National Parks, local reserves, beaches, road sides and car parks. Every person in a vehicle caught camping may be given a $100 penalty.
There are many caravan parks available all year round. It is recommended that you book ahead with your travel plans so that you are not caught without accommodation on arrival. Just a few of the caravan parks/camping grounds are listed below:
