Macleod, WA · 20 sites · Tents, RVs
Quobba is a family operated, working pastoral station that borders 80km of Western Australia's spectacular coastline. The 187 000 acre station was established in 1898 and is bounded by Gnarloo Station to the North, Lake McLeod and Boolathana Station to the East/South and the Indian Ocean to the West.
The Meecham’s have been on Quobba Station for over 40 years, with Tim, Sara and family here for over 22 years. The Station runs approximately 10 000 damaras (South African meat sheep) after originally running merino (wooly) sheep.
All campsites have access to:
- Fresh water (top up supplies only. Please bring sufficient water for your stay)

- Long drop toilets
- Daily rubbish collection (please bag your rubbish before putting in bins)
- Fire pits (fire wood sold in store, wood collection on Quobba NOT permitted. If you would like to have your own fire, it must be contained in your own fire pit. No ash/coals to be left on site.)
- Tennis court
Pets are welcome however they must remain on a lead at all times. 1080 baits are used on the station.
*This is remote camping on a station, please come prepared!*
While the Front Beach is perfect for walking along, collecting shells and watching the sunset, the beach itself goes straight to reef and is not suitable for swimming. The closest swimming/snorkelling locations are The Blowholes Beach (10km South) and 2 Mile (3km North).
*Please note: NO fishing/spearing is allowed on the Front Beach!
Quobba is home to incredible marine, bird and wildlife including (but definitely not limited to):
Leatherback turtles; snorkel with the turtles all year round, watch them lay their eggs on the numerous beaches (~October - December) and enjoy seeing the baby hatchlings make their way back into the Indian Ocean (~January - February).
Humpback whales (~ May - July)
Manta Rays
Australian bustard (bush turkey
Chiming wedgebill ('Did-You-Get-Drunk bird)
Thornie devils

Hyden, WA · 11 sites · Tents, RVs
The Camp - Wave Rock Short Stay is located 2 km from the Hyden town site and 2 km from Wave Rock. Both locations are easily accessible by car or by using the walking/cycling trail. To access the walking trail please head back to Aylmore Road, turn right and when you reach the intersection cross the highway to meet the walking/cycling trail. Left will take you to town and right to Wave Rock. Please be mindful that our property neighbours a working sheep and cropping farm.
Wave Rock is a granite cliff 15 metres high and 110 metres long. It’s rounded-like shape has been caused by weathering and water erosion which has undercut the base and left a rounded overhang. Water from the springs running down the rock during wetter months dissolves minerals adding to the colouring of the wave. In 1960, crystals from Hyden Rock were dated at being 2700 million years old, which are amongst the oldest in Australia.
A 15 minute drive north of Wave Rock you will see a “giant” lurching out of the bushland. This massive granite rock formation is known as the Humps – grab your hat, sun screen and water bottle and explore!
Be sure to visit Mulka's Cave.
The name “Mulka” comes from an Aboriginal Legend associated with the cave. As you enter the cave (take a few moments for your eyes to adjust) and look at the walls and note the many hand stencils believed to representing adults and children.
Close to Lake Magic, a large local salt lake, Denis Collins constructed a 20m round, 6m deep swimming pool-like gypsum pond whose buoyancy and therapeutic properties are greater than those of the Dead Sea.

Derby, WA · 1 site
Welcome to Savannah Campground, a privately owned 10-acre property just 20 km outside of Derby, near the iconic Gibb River Road.
There is one private campsite available — perfect for solo travellers, couples, or small groups. The site suits 4WDs or AWDs with single axle camper trailers with space for up to two vehicles (no caravans) private access directly off Bungarun Road. While the road is often corrugated, taking it slow makes for an easy and manageable trip.
Tucked away in a quiet section of the property, the campsite offers peace, privacy, and a rich connection to nature. Surrounded by native bush and shaded by trees, it's an ideal spot for birdwatching and wildlife encounters — Agile wallabies are regular visitors. A basic campfire is in place, and plenty of dry firewood can be gathered from the surrounding bush. Fresh water is available from a tank fed by a pristine local aquifer.
The property owner lives onsite in the main house and is happy to assist with water access or share local tips and knowledge.
Nearby, enjoy scenic walks along the Derby marsh or visit the historic Bungarun Leprosarium. Savannah Campground also makes an excellent base for day trips to Windjana Gorge or local fishing spots such as Blue Holes, located less than 20 km down the road — great for casting a line, setting a crab pot, or launching a tinny when the tides align.
Derby town is well-equipped with essentials and amenities. You'll find Woolworths, IGA, a chemist, hospital, hardware stores, and three petrol stations. There’s also a public library, several cafés, and a variety of takeaway options - everything you need for a comfortable stay or a quick resupply.

We absolutely loved our stay at Nambung Station. We were lucky to get there after busy season and was just us there, which we always enjoy. Nice quiet place.
We also took the tour to Pinnacles offered by the host and were so impressed by it. The Pinnacles and the sand dunes, absolutely beautiful place. Definitely recommend to stay there and take the tour with them.

Really down to earth experience, beautiful sunsets, take a leisurely walk on the trails on the property and feed the animals. The owner even came down one evening to serenade campers with a bit of country music!
Basic but all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay.
Only a half hour drive to cervantes or 40mins to Jurien.

During my travels around Western Australia, this absolutely my favourite place to stay on their- would highly recommend it to any camper looking for a peaceful stay in the middle of nature and who loves animals! It offers the best of both worlds with nature and outback in abundance with the lovely company of friendly hosts! It also had all the amenities you could ask for and the starry nights out there are unmatched! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and peaceful stay in the Australian countryside! Thanks for having me and hope to return soon!

We loved our stay at Nambung Station. Sheree and Mark were great people who couldn’t do enough to help us out during the first night of having our camper, with issues we had with it and getting used to the experience! The site is well equipped, they offer free and paid activities, including animal feeding and trips to see parts of the national park with pinnacles that most people wouldn’t get the chance to see. We’d love to get the chance to come back and stay again and would recommend anyone to do so too 😊

One of the only options available in town given how small Hyden is but definitely does the job! Multiple sites set up in a circle with a 2-toilet block set up with a small sink for washing dishes (no hot water). We had to change our plans last minute and Chloe was kind enough to accommodate for a change in our booking date. Located across the road from the Wave Rock entrance and a short 2min drive from town centre. Highly recommend checking out the local pool in town if you're looking for something to do on top of Wave Rock. We stopped over on our way back to Perth from Esperance to split up the drive and are glad we did.

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful place! Will definitely be back!
So under rated by description online( on this site) in my opinion.
Was my fave place to stay and set up of our whole holiday!
The station is so beautiful and the sites are amazing! Facilities are so clean! And the best showers we had in any place! There is a store on site too! It has a camp kitchen with
Everything you need!
Gas stove, bbq, fridge and freezer, sink to wash dishes- all you need is drinking water!
The drive in is also completely fine! The 10km dirt track- is not soft gravel or sand! I did it fine in 2wd- as did others there too. No need
For 4wd unless you want to go further past.
