Anyone have any experience with campsites around the Avon Valley NP? Is one site better or quiter than the others?

Looking to take my 3y/o camping (bush not beach) for a night or 2 once the fireban is lifted (15th??) and it appears that its the closest place to Perth? It's also got long drop toilets so i dont have to bring my own which is nice.

Are there any other places worth looking at within an hr or 2?

Contos in Margret River , its about 2km off the beach in a bush setting . Fires permitted . The place is great

Always thought the Avon valley was nowhere near those suggestions

Cheers guys! Contos looks good but at this stage is a bit further than i want to go.

Lane Poole is under 2hrs so thats a pretty easy getaway. Will go the weekend after school holidays, not much fun with a million little ****s running around

conto's is 4 hours from perth , best bet for an hour or two from perth is dwellingup , lake brockman , dyrandra national park ( added bonus is they run nocturnal native wildlife tours)

Collie River - Honeymoon Pool is nice - but will be busy. If you want peace then go when after kids go back to school.
