Karda campground is a great nature-based campground, 20km east from Jurien Bay and next to Lesueur National Park. If you are looking for a budget accommodation in that area, Karda campground is an ideal choice. Firstly, it is within the short driving distance from both the Lesueur National Park and the coastal town of Jurien Bay. Secondly, the campground is not too big and not too small. There are 31 sites, located in two loops, and can accommodate all sorts of vehicles and vans, including tents, caravans and trailers. Thirdly, the sites themselves are really huge, which is always very nice. Lastly, each site comes with its own picnic table and firepit. Not to mention that there are two clean and new drop toilets in each loop.
The sites are $11 per adult and $3 per child per night. You would need to book online via Parkstay. We visited Karda campground over the Anzac Day holiday, end of April and there were plenty of spaces available. However, we would recommend booking in advance, as the internet can be quite patchy there.
Unfortunately, no dogs are allowed. There are also no rubbish bins, which keeps the cost a bit lower.
Karda campground is a great place to stay during cooler months of the year. It can be quite hot in summer there. In fact, it is closed from December to February. There are plently of things to do and see around. Biodiversity hot spot Lesueur National Park is just around the corner. Jurien Bay has a lot on offer too. And of course, the famous Pinnalces Desert is only about an hour’s drive away.
