Camping in Western Australia

Cattle Pool Campsite on Cobra StationCamping 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.

Get up-close-and-personal with nature and pitch a tent at one of hundreds of camping grounds in Western Australia's private and national parks.

Relaxing on Mount Monger StationMost 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.

Lucky Bay campsite in the Cape Le Grand National ParkExplore 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.
