The best camping near Busselton with campfires

·
The west coast of Western Australia, especially the section stretching from Busselton south to Cape Leeuwin, is one of the country’s most remote and prettiest areas. Here, you can swim at sandy beaches and check out the wildflowers. The compact Margaret River region is a hot spot for foodies, with local wines, craft brews and heaps of gourmet treats. The area’s coast is perfect for whale watching. Convenient camping options, from caravan parks to bush retreats dot the coast along Bussell Highway, and inland. Holiday parks have powered sites, plus cabins and chalets. Wilderness-lovers can ‘go remote’—National Parks and Wildlife’s campgrounds have basic campsites within incredible nature settings.Busselton, three hours south of Perth, is the region’s low-key commercial centre, stretched around Geographe Bay. Its main attraction is the 150-year old Busselton jetty that measures more than 1.8km long. Busselton has plenty of camp sites, parks and holiday villages that offer everything from a tent site, to chalets. Ocean-facing camp grounds, are dotted along the coast road.

But visitors tend to head here for the attractive beaches, the pride of locals. Ask for their picks? Meelup, Eagle Bay and Bunker Bay. The Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park explodes with wildflowers and colour in Spring. Snuggle in for the night at the DIY- Boranup Camp, nestled amongst towering karri trees.If visitors come to Western Australia only once in their lives, they’ll usually head to Margaret River (and its town of the same name).

Campgrounds, including holiday parks with full facilities, are located within the township, as well as surrounds.

Toobs are serviced by a shared safari-style wash house with hot water shower and composting loo. Our block is on the Rails to Trails beside the Margaret River. Main Street and cafe strip are a short 10 minute forest walk away. We are popular with mountain bikers due to our close proximity (ride to trails) MR's MTB trails. Surfer's Point and Prevelly are 9kms away. We have laying hens, horses, a large and active Ring Tail possum tribe and vegetable garden. CAVEATS: -Just to be clear, we encourage our guests to eat out and we do NOT have kitchen and/or cooking facilities. - Our Toobs are tiny spaces and they are not everyone's cup of tea. Please read the reviews for a fair assessment of what we offer. - Also, we are NOT party people and value your privacy and respect for our rural lifestyle and those of other guests.

We are a family homestead on 5 acres planted out to permaculture principles back in the late 70's with some 40 different varieties of fruit and nut trees to graze on. Our Toobs are repurposed 2.1m diameter by 2.4m deep concrete pipes with one way glass, a queen size bed, 2 small bedside tables, light, power points, electric blanket(winter), pedestal fan (summer)all linen, towel and curtains for privacy. Internal volume is just over 9m3. They've been called glamping pods, concrete tents, micro habitats, sleep stations. . . .but at heart, they're an immersive experience. How they look, where they are, the way you sleep and where you wake up is an altogether novel experience that we feel most people will enjoy. Toobs are serviced by a shared safari-style wash house with hot water shower and composting loo. Our block is on the Rails to Trails beside the Margaret River. Main Street and cafe strip are a short 10 minute forest walk away. We are popular with mountain bikers due to our close proximity (ride to trails) MR's MTB trails. Surfer's Point and Prevelly are 9kms away. We have laying hens, horses, a large and active Ring Tail possum tribe and vegetable garden. CAVEATS: -Just to be clear, we encourage our guests to eat out and we do NOT have kitchen and/or cooking facilities. - Our Toobs are tiny spaces and they are not everyone's cup of tea. Please read the reviews for a fair assessment of what we offer. - Also, we are NOT party people and value your privacy and respect for our rural lifestyle and those of other guests.
