In this Discovery Parks Woodman Point caravan park review, we cover our 10-day stay and what travellers can expect when visiting the park.

We arrived at Discovery Parks – Woodman Point just after midday, with an easy run through the outer edges of Perth to get there.

Check-in was quick and friendly. We were given the usual welcome, along with a park map and a brief rundown of where everything was located.

Our site ended up being only a few metres from reception, which made things easy when it came time to set up and settle in.

Our Experience

Our site was level, and since we were staying for 10 days we decided to set up the annex. For those who don’t have one, an annex essentially doubles the living space of your caravan, although it also doubles the setup time.

The campground appears to be divided into several sections. Most sites looked reasonably flat, but as expected in a park this close to the city, the sites are fairly close together.

The amenities were usually clean and require a code for entry. As this is a busy park, there were times when the facilities could have been a little tidier, but overall they were acceptable.

Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. The park is close to the ocean and within easy reach of Fremantle, which is a great place to explore.

For us it was also very convenient. The workshop for the car was about a 15-minute drive away, and the airport for Cathy was roughly 45 minutes away, this was the main reason why we were here.

Behind the park there is a great walking and cycling path that runs for kilometres, and along the way there is a nice family park as well. Unfortunately the nearby beach is not dog friendly.

Telstra reception was surprisingly poor. You would expect good coverage in a metropolitan area, but we were often lucky to get more than two bars, and at the caravan park it was sometimes barely functional.

We were also given a notice at check-in warning about opportunistic theft in the park. The advice was mainly not to leave items lying around. We kept this in mind during our stay and had no problems.

Summary

We would stay here again. While there may be some potential for opportunistic theft, taking a few simple precautions should keep you out of trouble.

You really can’t beat the location — close to the ocean, Fremantle, and everything else you might need while staying in the Perth area.

This park would suit travelers wanting a convenient base near Perth and Fremantle, especially those planning to explore the city while still being close to the coast.
