The lead. David Ugle Campground sits on the quieter northern shore of Lake Kepwari, near Collie, with 32 sites and dogs welcome on a leash throughout the grounds. It's a good alternative to Mick Murray on the lake's southern side when that one is booked out.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed but must be controlled on a leash at all times, per Explore Parks WA. No specific size limit is stated. Camping fees apply per site and bookings are essential, as this is a popular spot, but no dog-specific fee is listed.
The place. A modern, well-organised campground suited to caravans, motorhomes and tents, with campfire rings (check seasonal restrictions), pit toilets and generator use permitted from 8am to 6pm. There's no potable water on site, so bring your own for you and the dog. The lake is the main drawcard here, for swimming, boating, kayaking and fishing.
Location and nearby. The campground is off Cardiff Road on Lake Kepwari's northern side, near Collie. Collie township is a short drive away for supplies and dog-friendly cafes. Mick Murray Campground, on the opposite shore, is the fallback if David Ugle is full.

Who it suits. Suits owners wanting a calmer lakeside base than the busier southern campground. Less suited to last-minute trips, sites fill fast and bookings are essential.
When to go. Book well ahead for weekends and school holidays. Confirm fire restrictions before you pack the firewood, and bring a water bowl since none is provided on site.
