Martins Tank
Martins Tank is a medium-size campground.
(There is no access to Martins Tank Lake or any other lake in Yalgorup National Park for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, boating or fishing.)
Booking
Bookings are essential and can be made:
- online and at this website only
- for one campsite only that you must camp on yourself
- up to and including the day of arrival (subject to campsite availability and your own internet service* to make a booking)
- up to 180 days (approximately six months) before arrival
*Check your mobile service provider’s coverage map but beware that the quality and reliability of service in regional and remote Australia can be variable and is impacted by the forests and hills of Australia’s South West.
Friends, family or other social groups travelling together who cannot be accommodated on the same campsite must make their own separate bookings.
If you are an outdoor education provider, licensed commercial tour operator or are organising an event (friends, family and other social groups camping together does not constitute an event), contact Parks and Wildlife Service Mandurah Work Centre to discuss your requirements.
