A diversity of camping spots

Here is a selection of some ‘real camping experience’ camping spots in our National Parks that we love around WA!

Mundaring

50 minutes North east of Perth CBD is Beelu National Park- Perth Hills Discovery Centre.

If you want to hire camping equipment in Dwellingup then the fabulous staff at Dwellingup Adventures will set you up with all of the camping equipment (and bikes and kayaks if you want!) that you need.

Wellington National Park (Collie)

2 hours drive south of Perth is Honeymoon Pool set in Wellington National Park. Suitable for tents and swags only. Set under the tree canopy alongside Honeymoon Pool where you can take a dip or launch your kayak.
Facilities: Flush toilets, picnic tables and gas bbqs, fire pit rings

Steep Point (near Denham)

Steep Point by Denham is roughly an 11 hour drive North from Perth. This is a remote site in the Gascoyne Region and is Australia’s most Westerly point. It is for the rugged-loving campers with some dangerous terrain, wind and waves. Access for high-clearance 4WD vehicles with low-range gears only.
Facilities: Drop toilet only.

Yardie Creek (near Exmouth)

Yardie Creek campground is a 14 hour drive North of Perth. It is located in such a fantastic spot by the beach at the mouth of Yardie Creek on the Ningaloo Coast and ‘up the road’ from Turquoise Bay, Oyster Stacks and Sandy Bay. The campground only has 10 campsites that book out fast. Take your paddle board up Yardie Creek and look out for rock wallabies.

Facilities: Drop toilet. Picnic tables.

We also totally recommend Yardie Homestead Caravan park that has facilities for camping, caravans, motorhomes and chalets.

Facilities: Pool, tennis court, cafe as well as activities for the kids in the afternoons and live music at night during school holidays, but it books out well in advance so be sure to plan ahead and book.

Contos Beach (Margaret River)

Beachfront campground near Margaret River has 116 sites for tents, caravans and camper trailers in amongst the peppermint trees. Stroll down to the beautiful Contos Beach for a swim, surf or fish or take a section of the Cape to Cape track to Redgate Beach, which is around 6km’s away.

Cape Arid

Jorndee Creek is 10 hours South East of Perth and is a remote camping spot perfect for fishing and a refreshing swim at the river mouth of Jorndee Creek and the Indian Ocean. There are only 9 camping spots for just tents and small camper trailers and you can’t book so first come first served and it’s recommended you take a 4WD to get there.

Facilities: Drop toilet

Wooramel Station

For an oasis stop during your long drive back from up North a beautiful spot to stop is Wooramel Riverside Retreat Campground, 120kms south of Carnarvon, 2 kms off the North West Coastal Highway.

A unique station campground nestled under the majestic gum trees on the banks of the Wooramel River. Relax in the naturally heated therapeutic artesian bore baths, enjoy the space, abundant bird and wildlife and cabin, eco tent or campsite accommodation.

​Open from 1st March to 22nd December.  0499 425 888

Always have a back up option

There are numerous campgrounds with quite a few campsites throughout WA that can not be booked online but are beautiful spots, so it’s usually first in, first served for a lot of them, so have some nearby back up options on hand.
