Western Australia (WA)
Western Australia is one of the best states in Australia for caravan travel and long-term nomads, but it requires planning. Distances are vast, popular areas book out early, and seasonal travel matters. From remote outback tracks to heavily visited coastal towns, WA suits travellers who prepare and travel with flexibility.

Ningaloo Coral Bay Bayview – Review
Read more: Ningaloo Coral Bay Bayview – ReviewWe arrived in the early afternoon and found reception busy, with three staff members checking guests in and answering enquiries. After having a look around, it was easy to see why. This is a large caravan park and, during peak season, it handles a lot of visitors. Coral Bay is a popular destination from April…

Pt Quobba Blowholes Campground – Review
Read more: Pt Quobba Blowholes Campground – ReviewPt Quobba Blowholes Campground is only a short drive from Carnarvon, which was our previous stop. We arrived pretty much right on 11am, which also happens to be the earliest check-in time, or arrival time, really, as the campground is unmanned. Bookings are essential and are done through the Carnarvon Visitor Centre website. You choose…

Sunset Beach Holiday Park – Review
Read more: Sunset Beach Holiday Park – ReviewSunset Beach Holiday Park is located in Geraldton, Western Australia, and offers powered sites close to the beach and only a short distance from town. We paid about $55 per night for a powered site for two people, which puts it in the range you’d expect for a coastal caravan park with solid facilities and…

Coro Park – Review
Read more: Coro Park – ReviewCoro Park is a self-contained campsite about 30 minutes north of Geraldton on the WA coast. It’s a simple setup without the usual caravan park facilities, but it offers something a lot of coastal stays struggle with, well-designed sites that give you shelter from the wind, along with easy access to the beach and ocean…

Gwalia Museum – Freecamp Review
Read more: Gwalia Museum – Freecamp ReviewWe arrived in the early afternoon, and there were already a few caravans set up, so we simply joined the line-up. As the weather had turned windy and rainy, we decided to have lunch at the café inside the Gwalia Museum. The meals were well priced and the food was good, making it a nice…

Niagara Dam – Freecamp Review
Read more: Niagara Dam – Freecamp ReviewThis campsite is only about an hour from our previous stop at Lake Ballard. The two campsites are relatively close together and offer similar features. They are both located along the Golden Quest Discovery Trail. Our Experience We had no plans to stay here, but the presence of the dam wall meant we could get…

Lake Ballard – Freecamp Review
Read more: Lake Ballard – Freecamp ReviewWe came here from Kalgoorlie, which isn’t too far away. To get here, you pass through Menzies, a very small outback town that feels like a step back in time. The road into the campsite is sealed all the way, with only the final stretch being on a dirt track, which is in reasonable condition…

Karalee Rocks & Dam – Freecamp
Read more: Karalee Rocks & Dam – FreecampWe came here from Hyden, with Google taking us along mostly dirt roads. Thankfully, the road was in reasonable condition, which made the drive in fairly straightforward. Google Maps will get you to the turn-off from the Great Eastern Highway, but after that it’s best to follow the brown tourist signs, as navigation can get…

Wave Rock Caravan Park – Review
Read more: Wave Rock Caravan Park – ReviewWe had a long drive to get here from our stay in Walpole Rest point Caravan Park, arriving late in the afternoon, about half an hour before reception closed. At around 470 km, it was an ambitious run for us. We don’t usually plan drives that long, but sometimes things don’t quite go to plan.…

Walpole Rest Point Caravan Park – Review
Read more: Walpole Rest Point Caravan Park – ReviewWe headed straight here from our last campsite at Margaret River (Big Valley Campsite) which is about a 3 hour drive. The road is quite windy, through some fantastic forests so it’s worth taking your time rather than rushing. On arrival, we were greeted by a friendly and helpful receptionist who provided all the usual…
