Potters Gorge, Wellington National Park

Potters Gorge is a campground in Wellington National Park with about 60 sites spread along the shores of Wellington Dam, set within forest surroundings. The location offers both water and forest views while providing access to outdoor recreation in the wider area.

The campground emerged following the construction of Wellington Dam in the 1930s as Western Australia's infrastructure expanded. The dam created a water reservoir that opened the area for recreation and tourism development.

The camping area draws visitors who share traditional outdoor activities and spend time together across generations.

The site accommodates various vehicle types like caravans and trailers and provides facilities such as barbecues and designated fire pits. Water and toilets are present, though the available water is not for drinking and visitors should bring drinking water.

The shallow beach entry at the dam's edge warms the water more than the natural river flow in the area. This makes it particularly pleasant for children and less experienced swimmers.
