  a guest from Atwell, Western Australia recommends this vacation rental

  We spent two fantastic nights at Milligan Island Camping Ground and were thoroughly impressed. The camping spots are well set out, offering ample space, flat ground, and are just a short stroll from the beach – perfect for a peaceful coastal getaway.
  The toilets are exceptionally well maintained, possibly cleaner than most homes, which made the stay even more comfortable. There’s also a BBQ available, and bins for both general waste and recycling, which is great to see for an eco-conscious site.
  While it can get a bit windy, carrying fine white sand across the area, and the flies do pick up when the wind dies down, these are minor trade-offs for such a beautiful location. The natural surroundings and beach access more than make up for it. Oh, the ground can be hard, so solid/screw in pegs are a good idea😉
  We’ll definitely be back at some point – highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and scenic camping experience.

  Terrie K from Bassendean, Western Australia recommends this vacation rental

  We have been self sufficient campers for a little while, so Milligan's suited us well. The site was idyllic for us as an arc oftrees formed a windbreak nicely; with the pit toilet block assisting. Having seen an overhead view of the camp ground we knew beforehand the lie of the terrain.
  The beach was a minute's walk over the covered dunes, but sadly not inviting to swim in due to stretches of seaweed. The nest of limestone islands (was Gilligan on one of them?) were a source of photography and bird watching, though not within easy reach to visit.
  We did venture on the beach with our 4WD but drove only on compacted sand - others were bigger risk takers. We spied fishing rods a lot.
  It was school hols but you would not have known...finding Gilligan would be challenging, after all.
  In spite of being

  Again our experience was overwhelmingly positive. The campgrounds were well maintained and clean. If I could suggest that the depart time be at 12 and the arrival time be at 13.00 to allow for a longer morning. Thanks again for providing these camp ground as a base to explore the area

  Stayed here ( bay 36 ) for 3 nights. Had a spacious, level site without puddles even with some torrential rain. Ablution block was, as others have described, spotless. Online booking was simple and straightforward. WE will, without doubt be returning. Excellent facility, all credit to Coorow shire.

  The location is amazing, beautiful ocean, beaches and points. Well looked after.
  Practically, very well looked after long drop toilets, large sites, but no water and poor Telstra (only)phone reception. There is a township 5km away, should you forget minor things or need food and water.
  Definitely recommend Milligans for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddling and walking.

  Katrina T from Glen Iris, WA recommends this vacation rental

  As with many other campers and travellers, we disagree with the new online booking system. It makes being spontaneous or doing anything last minute very difficult. If you struggle with reception, again, very difficult. Thankfully, unlike many other places you had pictures of the sites so you can mostly tell if your rig will fit. If you do not have a credit card then staying in these places is almost impossible. Then there are what are now known as ‘ghost campers’ who book way in advance, just in case and never stay as the refund isn’t worth worrying about or you can’t cancel last minute. It means many sites are empty but cannot be stayed in at all or even last minute as you cannot ‘rock up’. The system in Coronation beach where you pay onsite is the more preferable option (other than hosts which is best) as you can pick your site and pay with the onsite machine. Most people hate the new online system that is a statewide issue with seemingly no resolution in site and Im not sure how many are being honest about this issue and speaking up. Sometimes you can stay as there are ‘free’ sites, but they are ‘booked’ or theres no reception at the campsite if you get there and need to book.
