About 18km south of Margaret River in Leeuwin-Naturaliste NP Conto’s camp is signposted from the Caves Rd. There was a severe fire through here in Dec 2021 which burnt much of the surrounding area. Most of the campground was unaffected so all the facilities are okay. It’s a short walk to the cliffs over Conto Bay, but the beach is best accessed by road, the cape to cape walking track runs through here. We were camp hosts here in July-August 2022

camp rating 8 This is a large campground with good facilities and fees. It can get very busy here at peak times.
