What an amazing campsite! Quiet and private. Didn’t have to share with anyone else. A beautiful walking trail through the forest. Dean was a welcoming host and great to talk to about his farm and his future projects. We will be back!

I'm counting down the days untill we can go back here 10/10. Dean the host is such a good bloke very acomdating and welcoming he made us feel like were at home. We camped at the camp spot near the dam there's only one camp spot down there so it was very private it was so peaceful and beautiful amongst the massive karri trees and rolling grassy paddocks. The birds and wildlife sounds made it felt like we had a relaxing calming sound track on constantly.

What an unforgettable first camping experience. For two days, my wife and I felt as though we were the only people on the planet. Surrounded by Blue Wrens, we moved through four gentle seasons each day and enjoyed nothing short of a transcendent escape into nature. Our host, Dean, is an impressive and genuine chap. He welcomed us warmly, guided us to our campsite, and even lit our fire to get us started. Hearing his motivation for sharing this place was equally comforting—he simply wants others to experience the significance and beauty of the land he so clearly loves and cares for. With Dean’s confident assurance that the Karri Getaway would look after us, he headed back to his home, and for the next two days we had something I don't ever remember having - solitude. Not once in 48 hours did we hear anything but the sounds of pure, peaceful, undisturbed nature. I foraged, chopped and debarked wet wood to make a campfire, baked a damper, set up and packed down camp in the wet one of the “four seasons” that rolled through each day. We lay beneath the stars—along with what I’m convinced was an unusually large number of satellites—and by the time we left, we were already planning a longer return in 2026. Considering the value of this place, the booking fee feels negligible. If you can make it to this spot, you should absolutely experience this place for yourself.

This is the best Hipcamp has to offer. We stayed at the bottom of the hill in a small clearing on Dean’s property and it was one of the best camping experiences we’ve had on Hipcamp. It feels more like a national park than a working property. You feel like you’re in nature. Enclosed by trees on all sides with incredible bird life and the noise of the frogs in the small dam, and we even saw roos in the early morning and late evening. There’s trails on the property for easy access to nature walks, which wind you through some very old and tall trees. It’s a private area with a generous amount of space: there’s only one campground, so perfect for escaping generators if you prefer the quiet and not feeling like you’re crammed in together with other campers. Dean is also a perfect host: he greeted us, guided us to the campground, wanted us to have the best experience and offered to help us if we got bogged in our 2WD going down the hill, and also chopped us wood and got the fire going for us. He’s also got a friendly and beautiful dog! The spot is a great based if you’re exploring all that Denmark/Albany and Walpole has to offer. Can’t rate it highly enough, had a wonderful experience and grateful to Dean for having us on his property.

5 nights at Karri Getaway

We stayed (2x families with 4x children between us and 1x dog) at Karri Getaway for 5 nights in late July. Due to the recent weather we set up the 2x vans on the hill site and it was marvellous. The view was outstanding and having the fire pit and long drop toilet made it extremely convenient. The view from the hill is breathtaking. The kids had heaps of places to explore, dig and play and we were able to explore some of the walk paths in the forest. Having the site to ourself was an absolute highlight. The tyre swing was a big big with kids of all ages. Dean was a great host and had the fire going for us when we arrived. He was helpful and checked in throughout our stay. The property was peaceful but not too remote which was handy for daily outings and visiting local wineries and beaches in the region. Would absolutely stay again (maybe this time when the wind wasn’t arctic and the water was warmer).

We had a wonderful three-night stay at this private farm campsite in Denmark, WA. The setting was absolutely stunning — scenic, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, with incredible views that made every moment feel special. It was the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect with my partner and toddler. The campsite was spacious and very private, which made it feel like our own little slice of paradise. Super quiet, with just the sounds of birds and the breeze. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful place to stay.

Great little park. Suit the grey nomads, beautifully maintained grassed site with lovely trees and plenty of room. Power and water hookup and use your own toilet and shower. Hosts are lovely and friendly and we enjoyed wine tasting with Russell and his knowledge. About a 20 minute drive into Denmark with other points of interest locally. Very enjoyable stay.
