Tom Price Tourist Park turned out to be a very practical base for exploring Karijini National Park and the surrounding Pilbara region. While the park is not located within the national park itself, it provides convenient access to many of Karijini’s most popular attractions, including Dales Gorge, Fortescue Falls, and Fern Pool.

We stayed here in early May 2026 and found it to be a good place to restock, recharge, and prepare for the next stage of our journey. Tom Price has all the basic services most travellers need, including supermarkets, fuel, and other essential supplies, making it easy to top up before heading further into the Pilbara.

Our Experience

We arrived just after midday and found reception friendly and welcoming. We were given all the information we needed to settle in, and the check-in process was straightforward.

We paid $25 per night for an unpowered site, which we thought represented good value for Tom Price. It is also worth noting that this is the only caravan park in town, so if you are looking for a caravan park stay rather than free camping or somewhere further out, this is the main option.

For us, the unpowered site worked out better than expected. Having both a water connection and grey water drainage made day-to-day living easy, and the site was level enough that setup was straightforward.

The amenities were not perfect. If you are expecting modern, resort-style facilities, you may be disappointed. That said, they were clean, functional, and, at this price point, we felt they were more than adequate.

The park is dog friendly, and having an off-leash dog area was a welcome bonus. We also managed to find a reasonably priced pet sitter for one of our days exploring Karijini, which made things much easier.

There is also a wash bay available for cleaning your vehicle. It is a basic setup with a hose and brush provided, and there is a $5 charge to use it.

The main reason most people stay here is to visit Karijini National Park. We made two trips into the park during our stay, one half-day visit and one full day. Tom Price proved to be a practical base for exploring the area, particularly when travelling with a dog and needing to work around national park restrictions.

One thing that surprised us was the lack of bugs and flies. There were a few flies around during the day, but very few insects at night. We had the windows open all day and well into the evening, with practically nothing finding its way inside.

We also joined the Tom Price Mine Tour, which we thought was well worth doing. The tour departs from the visitor information centre and runs for approximately two hours. Our guide did an excellent job explaining both the mining operation and the enormous equipment used on site.

Tom Price itself is a relatively small town, but we found the Coles supermarket well stocked and reasonably priced. There is also a fuel station and a bakery. We tried the bakery while we were there, but unfortunately it did not leave much of an impression.

Summary

We would happily stay here again if passing through Tom Price. While it is not a luxury caravan park, it offers everything we needed at a reasonable price. The sites were easy to set up on, the amenities were clean and functional, and having water and grey water connections on our unpowered site was a bonus.

Its biggest advantage is the location. Tom Price Tourist Park provides a practical base for exploring Karijini National Park while still having easy access to shops, fuel, and other services in town. For travellers with dogs, the pet-friendly facilities and off-leash area make it an even more attractive option.

If you are looking for a comfortable, affordable place to stay while exploring Karijini and the Pilbara, Tom Price Tourist Park is well worth considering.
