The first stage of the new $2.7 million Jarrahdene Campground in the State’s south-west has been completed just in time for the Christmas holidays.
Stage one of the project includes 24 individual camp sites, five double-cubicle toilets and four barbecue shelters, as well as tables and fireplaces for each camp site.
Located 21 kilometres south of Margaret River, Jarrahdene Campground is next to the remains of the State Heritage-listed Jarrahdene Mill, which was built in 1896 and was the centre of the local community and economy.
The completed campground will feature 36 camp sites and two group camping areas that can be used by school groups and outdoor education providers.
It will also include interpretive signs about the heritage of the old Jarrahdene Mill.
