3. Deepdene Farmstay Camping

74km from Busselton · 16 sites · RVs · Augusta, WA

Deepdene Farmstay is a beautiful rural property with a fabulous view! We have a number of unpowered camp sites located approximately 5 minutes drive from Augusta, which offers a number of tourist attractions and great fishing spots. We are also located a short 800m from Jewel Cave, which is a very popular tourist attraction and café. Our campsites overlook paddocks of cows and horses, with a lovely breeze and a number of large trees to offer shade in the summer, while being protected from the harsh winds in winter. If you are pretty much self contained and would like to camp out away from the hustle and bustle, in a tranquil and peaceful setting...then this is for you. However, if you like life's luxuries, then this won't be your cup of tea. One of the reviews said nice but a bit wild, I think they must be used to caravan parks or something. We try our best to fit in with the environment, so we have a couple of compost toilets and solar showers (for private not public use, for more info on this, please enquire ) and compost and recycling bins to try and do our bit. Dogs are permitted but this is a working farm with livestock so uncontrolled dogs chasing wildlife or stock which cant be controlled will be dealt with as needed including euthanised. If its hard to control don't bring it please!

We loved our stay at Deepdene Farm Stay. We were greeted by the friendly host on arrival which was a nice touch. A great set up well worth the price with composting toilets, warm showers, rubbish bins and a camp kitchen. It was quiet, with an excellent view down the paddocks where horses, cows and sheep are kept. A short drive to nearby sights and amenities made it really convenient.

We all really enjoyed our stay! We were allowed to pitch wherever we liked as long as safe. We had a group of 11 and it was perfect for us. Showers were warm and compost toilets were clean. Was amazing to be so close to horses and donkeys and a brilliant view of the land. The site manager was very friendly and very helpful too.

1 night at Busselton Lazy Days Caravan Park

We had a great stay! The site was organised and the staff who attended to use was very accommodating. We're a group and requested for our friend's site to be located next ours and the receptionist found us a good spot. There's a communal kitchen, bathroom and toilet too. I can't say anything about the kitchen because we didn't use it, but the toilets and the bathrooms were well-maintained. Hot shower is available too. It's just a few minutes drive from Busselton Jetty. We loved the campfire. We've been looking forward to that. We even brought our own firepit and firewood. Unfortunately, that wasn't allowed. We had to rent a firepit (this comes with firewood, lighter and firestarter) so it's all good. I'd definitely recommend!
