Camping in Western Australia under the vast star filled sky is an adventure not-to-be-missed.
Forget the famous creepy-crawlies (they tend to mind their own business out bush!) and revel in the fresh air, towering trees, friendly fauna and clear nights.
There are three ways to camp - go back-to-basics under the stars, pitch a tent or enjoy the mod cons of a caravan park.
If roughing it is your style pick up a map from CALM and find a free secluded camping spot in one of Western Australia's many forest areas.
Here, you'll bunk down in a swag, bathe in freshwater pools, toast marshmallows around the campfire and enjoy a star-gazing session before drifting off into the best sleep you've had in years.
And it doesn't cost a dime.
Alternatively, you can pitch a tent at one of hundreds of camping grounds in Western Australia's private and national parks.
You'll still be up-close-and-personal with nature but also enjoy basic amenities.
Most parks feature individual tent sites, flushing toilets and barbecues.
Expect to pay from AUD$5.00 per person to pitch a tent in a private or national park.
At Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, which stretches from Bunker Bay to Augusta, spot migrating humpback and southern whales from craggy sea cliffs and windswept granite headlands.
Explore a towering karri forest, two self-guided caves and endless walk trails.
Then, at night, bunk down at Contoes, Point Road or Boranup campgrounds.
At Cape Le Grand National Park, near Esperance, the wild coastal landscape is teeming with wide sandy bays, rugged granite cliffs, sweeping heathlands and untamed inland swamps.
Explore by day and at night, pitch a tent at Lucky Bay or Le Grand Lucky Bay campsite in the Cape Le Grand National ParkBeach camping grounds.
Karijini National Park is the place for soaring red gorges and colossal waterfalls.
This spectacular ancient landscape is home to bats, rock wallabies, red kangaroos, echidnas, dragons, huge termite moulds - and just one camping ground.
It's called Savannah Campground and it's ten kilometres south of Weano.
If you're after a little more luxury, check into an established caravan park.
Most parks feature shady grassed areas, hot running water and laundry facilities, and offer on-site vans which start from around AUD$25.00 per night.
