Charlie's Flat Campground
Charlie's Flat Campground is a small, rustic campsite in Lane Poole Reserve within the Perth Hills, approximately one hour south of Perth. Located on the banks of the Murray River in a jarrah, blackbutt and marri forest, the 16-site campground offers basic unpowered tent and swag camping with scenic river access for swimming and kayaking. Facilities are minimal—no-flush pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and waste bins—with no drinking water or powered sites. The atmosphere is quiet and natural, ideal for bushwalkers and water sports enthusiasts, though visitors must be self-sufficient and aware of seasonal extremes (intense heat December-April with bushfire risk; cold June-September).
