The camping at Marrinup is over fairly wide range with nice secluded sites amongst trees. As well there is plenty of wide flat and open camping space for group camping.
Facilities include pinic tables, fireplaces and toilets. No water or firewood at the campsite, so need to bring it with you.
The Marrinup P.O.W. can be easily accessed by a 4.5 km return walk trail or car. It is also worth visiting the Marrinup Falls for a swim.
For those with bikes it is well worth bringing the mountain bike to enjoy the faily easy 7.9 km return mountain bike trail, known as Marrinup Cycle Trail.
The campsite is also part of the three day walking trail, the Murray Valley Circuit.
Camping fees are $10 for 2 adults, $5 for each additional adult, and $2 for each school age child under 16.
