Book for camping

The National Parks and Wildlife Service will start taking bookings for several local camping areas today, Monday, September 18.

The service's regional manager Mr Tom Bagnat said the camping areas at Putty Beach, Little Beach and Tallow Beach in Bouddi National Park were always full over the peak Christmas holidays period, with their "beautiful beaches and great camping facilities proving attractive to both visitors and locals alike".

"Bookings for the busy summer holidays up to January 30 will be taken from mid-September," Mr Bagnat said.

"As always camp bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis and people should note that all camp fees must be paid for at the time of booking."
