1. Murray Valley Camping

96%

(501)

69km from Bunbury · 12 sites · Tents, RVs · Bunbury, WA

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 nights at Shukuru Farm, Wellington Forest WA

Here’s a refined, polished version of your updated review, keeping your voice and enthusiasm: ⸻ A beautiful spot! The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The property is close to the dam. The weather was a bit too chilly for swimming, but that didn’t stop our furry friend from jumping in and having an absolute ball! There’s also a paddleboard and a rope swing available for use. Our furry friend loved having plenty of open space to explore. The National Forest is nearby, so it’s best to keep dogs on a lead in that area due to baiting — but there are no baits on Shukuru Farm itself. Being a farm, there were a few flies, but nothing a fly net couldn’t fix. The wind was strong during our stay, so most of them were blown away anyway. The fire pits were a lovely bonus, and the starry skies at night were absolutely stunning. Such a relaxing, peaceful stay — I would definitely recommend staying here!

Second time at this spot. It's a nice secluded spot with good views. The host was great.

Helps getting out when the bank is wet, dont forget to chuck it in the water before you jump in. We suggest you have a look where the logs and branches are under water before you get in and the water gets muddied.

Weekend Trip to Murray Valley Camping

Loved this site. Completely isolated from other campers. Private, peaceful and picturesque. Nice little walk along the water in the bushland. The ground is VERY hard, was only able to get the tent set up a little in front of the bins, no biggie. Would be worthwhile bringing some heavy duty pegs, had a few casualties. The conveyer wasn’t constantly running but when it was it was subtle and actually nice to drift off to sleep to. Flies were friendly and there are bull/meat ants roaming around, bring some Bushman’s. Pay for the firewood add on or bring your own. There is some to collect around camp but it’s mostly small branches and bark. Our host come by to welcome us a little after check in, very friendly 😊 Will definitely be back, hopefully for a longer stay next time.

1 night at Murray Valley Camping

Excellent private camping spot for small a camper van. The site has gravel which can be slippery so you need to take care while walking. The river views are excellent and will visit again.

Weekend Trip to Amber Ridge Estate

My wife and I loved our weekend at the Amber Ridge Estate, staying at the Valley Vista ground. Was very secluded, private, quiet, and relaxing. Nestled a the top of the grounds, at the back, we didn't see anyone all weekend once we went through the gate. Could birdwatch, listen to the kangaroos in the state forest, and play with our dog in the field. Weather was wet, windy, sunny - all 4 seasons in one day, but that is Donnybrook and the south-west. Mick greeted us as we entered and gave us a folder of things to do in the area, which was very much appreciated. Great little spot to get away for some off grid.

Weekend Trip to Parkland Bush Camp Mapanap

Lovely secluded camp site. Beautiful trees providing shade but also letting sun through. Fire pits provided and also a picnic table. Easy access and clear instructions on how to get there. Plenty of lovely wildlife to see. I would highly recommend this property and would love to return soon.

The best private sites caravan 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.
