Just 1 hour from Perth, Harmony Retreat is a conscious camping space and wellness event venue, situated on 25 acres at the foothills of the Darling Range Escarpment just 10-15 minutes from Pinjarra and Dwellingup, 7 minutes from the southwest highway, and 3 minutes from Pinjarra-Williams Road. It's an easily accessible and picturesque private property with approximately 7 acres of forest, flushing toilet, hot outdoor shower, a winter creek, a swimmable spring-fed dam, and an abundance of bird and wildlife, nestled between cattle farms in the heart of the Peel region.
There are friendly free-ranging chickens and Guinea fowl, a mischievous mini pig, friendly goats, sheep, and family dogs on site. The owners Michelle, Troy, and Carolyne live and work onsite.
THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO BOOK IF YOU INTEND TO PARTY.
The camping area is easily accessed by most vehicles. There is a hot water outdoor shower and toilet available to use and within walking distance of each site.
CHILDREN - The dam on the property is currently unfenced and has steep sides when the water line is low, therefore this property is not recommended for those with small and wandering children. We also asked that older children are supervised, so as not to vandalise property, nature, gardens and fire-pits (this has been a problem in the past).
Friendly dogs are welcome, however, must be kept on a leash at all times, due to free-ranging chickens, livestock and wildlife on the property.
Our communal BBQ area is now open with a gas BBQ, picnic table and sink. We suggest bringing your own cooker, kettle, esky, etc, Bringing your own drinking water is a must, as the water from the taps comes from our spring-fed dam.
We do ask that you follow local fire regulations with no outdoor open cooking flames during fire bans.
All rubbish and waste needs to be taken with you. However, Peppa pig and our goats will always appreciate your veggie scraps.
Fires are permitted in designated fire pits during fire season. Anyone found having a fire during FIRE BANS will be reported to authorities and asked to leave the property immediately (we need to use firm words around this, as bushfire destroys homes and endangers lives).

Don't forget your mozzie coils, they're out and about at the moment!
And a bit of firewood while the season for it lasts...
We have 3 beautiful and secluded sites to offer, right in the heart of the Dwellingup State Forest, 1 of them on the banks of the Murray River.
All sites here enjoy a minimum of 100 metres separation.
We love all animals here at Nanga River Retreat and we'd love for you to bring yours along (Remember to book our pet friendly site – ‘River Camp’, and dont forget to bring your little yellow bags please). We also enjoy an abundance of wildlife traffic through the property.
We would love to see all the Witches, Wiccans, and other Weirdos out there, we encourage you to book in for a spell. (pun intended) You'll fit right in. 🧙♀️
We invite discreet devotees of herbs, and mushrooms, to visit for a while, you will absolutely love it here, with privacy you just cannot get at the park 🤙
Come and find yourself, or maybe lose yourself, down by the river in Dwellingup, forest getaways dont get much better.
Please Note;
Loud drunkenness, anti-social behaviour, and rude misconduct will lead to eviction without refund, and reporting to Hipcamp.
Also, no off-roading. No motor bikes, quads, buggies, or any other form of self-powered transport in the dirt. In-fact while you're here, any sort of hooning on the property will lead to eviction without refund and reporting to Hipcamp.
So folks, the idea of this campsite and indeed of the entire property, is that it's intended as a tranquil and quiet retreat for those that wish it to be so. Thanks for understanding.
A small advice for those bringing children, in fact for anyone that intends to swim in or be beside the water, this is a wild and unfenced river access area and all care should be taken in supervision. Please see the site rules.
One more thing, feel free to contact us via Hipcamp if you're interested in staying here but for some reason fall outside of the site parameters listed on this add, we're pretty flexible and in most cases will be willing to accommodate your needs.
Remember, this is camping by the river, not glamping by the pool!
We hope to hear from you soon, and we know you're going to love your stay whatever your endeavour while you're here.
Seeya soon, Shane n Deeg.

From the very start Shane was informative and great with the property map and welcome pack, we were so lucky to have had the whole campsite to ourselves we camped at the river campsite, the views did not disappoint, the river was wide and deep, the property is bursting with beautiful trees, wild emus, birds, ducks, pigs, geese just to name a few. Shane and his family have made this property thoughtful to the humble camper, little touches of a bin, a fire fit, a table, a rake and even a port a loo, the driveway entrance of farm memorabilia and the location of this place is epic andthere is lots to do or simply relax and let nature re-energize you. Thank you so much for letting us stay on your property I can't wait to visit again.

A beautiful property, only 1 and a half hours from Perth, and 5 minutes from the nice town of dwellingup. Not swimmable options all year round, but for the warmer months when river drys up, Lane Poole Reserve is just across the road. Sites were clean, and flat, bins in site, and toilet too. Didn’t get to meet Shane, it communication was good. I will be back to stay again.

The healing land of harmony retreat is beautiful. Camping amongst the bush, swimming in the dam, farm animals was so serene. The beautiful hot water outdoor showers and toilet block made the experience enjoyable with our toddler. Our hosts even popped in for a friendly visit to ensure we had all we needed. Highly recommend the beautiful harmony retreat. Close to dwelling up town, swimming holes of lane pool and country beauty.

A great location to just relax and recharge. The birdlife was amazing, so many varieties came by the campsite to say hello. We stayed in campsite 1. The river was just below. It was a lovely few days.

Great spot, plenty of shady tree cover and a large sized site situated next to a swimming dam. Nice campfire and not too far from toilets and shower. The hot showers under the stars were great to have. Owners seemed to take pride in the place and what they're offering. We would go back again for the peace and quiet and the option to cool down with a dam swim or warm up with a shower. Thank you to the hosts, we thoroughly enjoyed our two nights and so did our doggo. :)

We stayed at the Dam site for 2 nights and it was amazing. There was a bilby that came and said hello, and the dam was absolutely amazing to swim in.
The spaces are private and big, and the actual retreat is nice to go and walk around and explore.
Overall we had a great time and I would definitely recommend!
