We liked this park. It was well sheltered from the wind, which is a big thing around here, and it’s also close to town and a few great spots to visit.

At approximately 4.5 hours drive from Perth, it’s easy to see why this is such a popular spot for a weekend away or a summer holiday.

Our Experience

Our site was close to the amenities, which was a bit of a bonus. Being on a corner site also meant we only had one neighbour.

The amenities block we were near was always clean, and the building itself looked relatively modern.

Next to reception there is a cafe with a nice selection of food, and of course coffee. It looks like you can hire kayaks and paddle boats if you are keen.

The on-site dump point was one we haven’t come across before. It’s basically a concrete square with the pipe sitting a bit proud of the base. In my mind it could get messy with solids, if you know what I mean.

We didn’t book a riverfront site for one main reason, wind. After spending the past couple of months along the WA coast, one thing we’ve had plenty of is wind, wind and more wind. So in my mind a riverfront site was a bit of a no-go. I’d rather be tucked back in the park and walk down to the water if I want to see it.

As it turns out, many of the riverfront sites have trees and bushes in front of them anyway, so you can’t actually see the water from quite a few of them, and you pay extra for them.

The sites themselves were level and well sheltered. We had some windy days while we were there, but it didn’t affect us at all.

The park is a short walk to town — I’d say about 15 minutes at a brisk pace, with a slight uphill gradient.

There is also a great walking loop just outside the park. It follows one side of the river into town, then you cross the river and walk back along the other side. The full loop would take around 1.5 hours at a leisurely pace.

Denmark itself is a pleasant town with all the basics covered — two IGAs, a decent butcher, bakery, pub and plenty of other small shops. It’s easy to see why it’s a popular spot with people from Perth.

There’s also a boat ramp just outside the park for the boaties, so handy if you’re into fishing or other water activities.
