Workmans Pool Campground – St John Brook Conservation Park (CG)

Workmans Pool is located next to the gently flowing St John Brook and its picturesque river pools. St John Brook Conservation Park is a favourite with locals and visitors for swimming, picnicking and camping. There are designated camp site bays at Workers Pool, some of which are accessible to small vans. The park also has a fascinating saw milling history from early last century that is still evident today around Barrabup Pool and along the Old Timberline Trail.

Campfires are usually permitted, in the provided fire rings only, between April 15 and November 30 but fire restrictions may be imposed at any time and without notice. Bring your own firewood. When fire restrictions are in place campfires must not be lit and any appliance powered by burning solid fuel must not be used. Always comply with any instructions at campgrounds and parks.
