2. Murray Valley Camping

97%

(531)

69km from Bunbury · 12 sites · Tents, RVs

Murray Valley Camping features campsites that are completely open in nature. Each site is close to the Murray River and is surrounded by nature, so you truly feel far away from the rest of the world. The property is close to the famous Bibbulmun track, with Harvey and Boddington equal distances away, so options to explore the region easily. Campers can go for walks along the river, relax, and enjoy the sounds of nature. Throw your kayak in for a paddle. Throw a line in and try your luck at fishing. As the day slips away, catch a beautiful sunset, as you toast marshmallows by the campfire (outside of fire restriction times). There are no toilets or amenities, so all campers need to be fully self-contained in that respect, with their own camp toilet and water, and we ask you to take all waste when you go. There’s also little to no cell reception at the sites. There is background noise from the nearby conveyer belt that goes on and off randomly. Some people take it as soothing white noise while others think it’s overbearing. Pet-friendly, so you're welcome to bring your four-legged friend along. Unplug from everyday life, escape and reconnect with friends and family in nature.

3. Harmony Retreat

(158)

73km from Bunbury · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Just 1 hour from Perth, Harmony Retreat is a conscious camping space 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 a family dog on site. The owners Michelle, Troy, and Carolyne live and work onsite (this is a working farm). 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. There are no cooking facilities available. Therefore, you will need to be completely self-sufficient including cooker, kettle, esky, etc, and also bringing your own drinking water 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 flames during fire bans. All rubbish and waste needs to be taken with you. However, Peppa the Pig 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).

All sites here enjoy a minimum of 100 metres separation.

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.

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.

In the early days, Roebank was used for livestock grazing and had the largest shearing shed this side of Bridgetown used by the neighbouring farmers.

We really enjoyed our stay at this camp - it just may have gone to the top of our favourites list ! It is just so peaceful and relaxing, listening to the cicadas and birds, with the occasional sheep. Beautiful spot we had near the creek bed, next to the trees. Great spot for our dog as well. Was private and perfect for us. Mick is very friendly and warm, and also provided a great folder (returnable) with all the local attractions around the area. Brilliant. Short drive to Capel and Donnybrook, and a nice drive to Forrest Beach for some saltwater therapy. Definitely recommend a stay at Amber Ridge. We will be back for sure!

7 nights at Murray Valley Camping

An idyllic camping spot right on the banks of the Murray River and ideal for a swim or kayak. The site was spacious with gravel, suitable for both caravans and tents, offering plenty of room to relax and unwind. Being access-only for campers meant it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful, with no through traffic or crowds. There is fire pit on hand which will be a real highlight in season and perfect for evenings by the river under the stars. Yes, you can mildly hear the conveyor but it wasn’t an issue for us - half the time it wasn’t running. A great place to switch off, enjoy nature, and soak up the serenity. We’ll definitely be back.

The best great views camping near Bunbury guide

Where to go

Bunbury, Australind & Vicinity

Pretty much the definition of the best of both worlds, Bunbury’s caravan parks offer pool-side cabins, campsites, and caravan pitches just a stone’s throw from the beach and the city, while Australind has some tranquil riverside campgrounds and caravan parks. If you prefer your camping to be a little wilder, you can head further north onto the Leschenault Peninsula, where you’ll find a handful of campgrounds sandwiched between the estuary and the ocean.

Busselton & Dunsborough

Follow the sweeping shores of Geographe Bay south and you’ll soon stumble upon Busselton, where you can stop to explore the two-kilometre-long wooden jetty and soak up the holiday vibes or head south still to Dunsborough. Two of Western Australia’s best-loved holiday destinations, both Busselton and Dunsborough offer visitors an array of camping and lodging options, from 5-star retreats on the edge of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park to campsites with 5-star views.

Ferguson Valley & Wellington National Park

East of Bunbury lies the rolling hills and vineyards of Ferguson Valley and the towering forests of Wellington National Park. Home to the biggest dam mural in the world, as well as some great mountain bike tracks, riverside camping, and plenty of opportunities for swimming and paddling, Wellington National Park is a great spot to switch off and get away from it all.

When to go

With a Mediterranean-style climate—hot, dry summers and cooler, wetter winters—Bunbury is a great time for camping all year round, although you might have to bring warm layers and a rain jacket in the winter. Summer is the most popular time to go camping in Bunbury, but this also means the caravan parks and campsites fill up well in advance. If you don’t mind slightly cooler weather, spring is even better, with great weather, wildflowers, and quieter campgrounds.
