Fishing and camping go hand in hand, and we’re so fortunate with the coastal camping options we have here in our state. When the pandemic restricted travelling further afield, the local camping scene exploded with seemingly everyone exploring their own back yard. And while the extra tourism and was great for local towns, it did put pressure on our coastal campgrounds. The peak has subsided now, but it’s still given a lot of people a taste for holidaying closer to home, which isn’t a bad thing.
With the gaining popularity of camping along the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula, some measures had to be put in place to help regulate coastal camping. Historically, it’s been ‘open slather’ on camping along this coast, with caravans and camper trailers scattered throughout the coastal scrub.
