About this park
Tuarts Reserve is a free, self-contained camping area near Jurien Bay on WA's mid-west coast. Located in the Shire of Dandaragan, it offers basic parking for caravans and campervans with no on-site facilities—you'll need to be fully self-sufficient. The reserve has a three-night maximum stay and can fill quickly, especially during peak travel periods. It suits travellers with self-contained rigs looking for an economical stopover en route to Kalbarri or while exploring the Jurien Bay area. The spot works well for short stays rather than longer base camps. Confirm current conditions and any updates to the three-night policy directly with the Shire of Dandaragan or check locally upon arrival, as management of free reserves can change.
