Comments attributed to Environment Minister Stephen Dawson:

"Camping in Western Australia’s natural areas is a special experience, and Karijini National Park is one of the State’s most spectacular national attractions.

"The online booking system will be beneficial to visitors who can now avoid the disappointment of travelling to the Dales Campground only to be turned away if it is fully booked.

"Until now, the campground has had a ‘first in best dressed’ policy so it is great to see that visitors can now plan ahead and prepare before making the journey to Karijini National Park."
