Nanga Mill Campground

Nanga Mill Campground is the largest campground in Lane Poole Reserve, situated near Nanga Brook in Western Australia's southwest.

Once the site of a bustling timber mill town that operated from around 1900 until the 1961 bushfires, it is now a peaceful camping area set among pine trees, with wide open spaces well suited to families.

The campground sits within easy reach of the Murray River, one of the few undammed rivers in the region, and serves as a base for bushwalking, mountain biking, swimming, canoeing, and kayaking.

Several hiking trails begin here, including the Nanga Brook walk trail. Campfires are permitted in the provided fire rings, though restrictions can be imposed at any time; campers should bring their own firewood. Dogs are welcome on a leash.

The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance bookings.

It is extremely popular during school holidays and weekends from October to April, particularly on public holiday weekends, so having a backup option is advisable during peak periods.
