Weekend camping allowed on Mackerel Islands?

Hi All,

My first post but I've been reading the forums for a while.

I'm after a bit of info as to whether overnight camping is allowed on the mackerel Islands just off Onslow.  I've had a search online but cant find a definitive answer.  Wasnt planning on going to Thevenard but was thinking about one of the other closer islands such as Ashburton or Direction island.

 

I have a 4.1metre tinny and usually go with a few mates in similar sized boats on weekend trips to Exmouth or Balla Balla but i'm thinking its time for something different.

 

Also, by camping i mean just rolling out a swag with an esky full of beer for one night.

 

Any info you guys can provide would be great

 

Lenny

Direction Island beach shack

Direction Island beach shack is available through Mackerel Islands and Thevernard is back taking some booking again but they do have limited vacancies.

Pretty sure all others you are not allowed to camp on.
