G'day,

Any tips on camping at Robe? doesn't appear that there is any other option available, that's what one gets from being a slacker

Cheers Jasper..

At Robe. there is a heap of people that set up camp at 3rd ramp, just on the side of the road.. or you can camp at the bush camp ground at the national park, about 3 kms out of town..

Camping on the beach sounds pretty good to me..

I just had a look at google map to see if could locate the "ramps" are those pretty obvious when driving into Robe? Any details would be good!

Cheers
Jasper

Third ramp is the beach access ramp which is referred to as Riviera Drive on Gmaps . Second ramp is the access off the Esplanade rd in Robe it self.
Outside of the locals, I don't think anyone knows where first ramp is
I hope this helps

Cheers Croc

Camping on the beach may be a good solution so long as you don't mind going without a shower for a while or having to crumb a sausage in the sand dunes.

It might be an issue if you get a king tide too as the tide will go right up to the start of the sand dune.

I always wondered where third ramp was cause I could only ever count 2 on the beach.

Now I know I have been using second ramp and thinking it was first!

I can't wait. I am heading up early Friday to get there by 11AM. I even have the cook booked for the wine tour.

Look forward to meeting/seeing you guys down there, and I hope I don't embarrass myself too much with my lack of moves kiting.

First ramp is the old original access to the beach it is right in the corner at the cliffs at the very start of the beach at robe end. this is now in the no car area in front of the caravan park and esplenarde park so was closed many years ago.
