The lead. Mick Murray Campground sits on the eastern shore of Lake Kepwari, a rehabilitated former coal-mine pit turned clear, calm swimming lake just outside Collie. Dogs are welcome throughout the campground and grounds on a leash, which makes it a straightforward base for a lakeside weekend with a dog that likes to swim.
The pet policy. Dogs are permitted at the campsite and across the park, but must be kept on a leash and under control at all times, per Explore Parks WA and the Parks and Wildlife Service. No size limit or dog-specific fee is listed. Standard camping fees apply per site, booked through Explore Parks WA.
The place. Unpowered sites suit tents, caravans and motorhomes, with picnic tables, fire rings (restrictions may apply outside April to November) and accessible toilets. There's no potable water on site, so bring enough for yourself and your dog. Generators are permitted from 8am to 6pm. The lake itself draws swimmers, water-skiers and canoeists, and the site includes a boat ramp.
Location and nearby. The campground is on Neath Road, Cardiff, about 16km from Collie via Paterson Street, Preston Road, Collie-Preston Road and McAlinden Road, sealed most of the way. Collie township has pet-friendly cafes and shops for a supply run. David Ugle Campground, on the lake's northern side, is the other option if Mick Murray is full.

Who it suits. Good for dogs that swim and owners happy with a no-frills, bring-your-own-water campsite. Less suited to dogs that need shade all day, tree cover is limited around the lake edge.
When to go. Weekdays or outside school holidays for a quieter shoreline; book ahead for weekends. Confirm fire restrictions and site availability at booking, and pack your own water bowl regardless of season.
