The best mountainous campgrounds near Denmark, Western Australia

Steeped in natural wonders, Denmark is the golden city of Western Australia’s Rainbow Coast. Wild forests, burly coastal cliffs, and pristine beaches stretch along the shore, while inland, cool-climate vineyards climb up into the weathered mountains of the Great Southern Region. Outdoor adventures are easily found, whether cycling the Munda Biddi Trail, wine-tasting at cellar-door wineries, or taking in the views along the Mount Shadforth Scenic Drive. Camping is the obvious choice to get back to nature, so park your motorhome on a local farm or a tranquil riverside campground, check into a tourist park or caravan park, or pitch your tent by the beach.

Welcome to Rocky's Retreat! Our little hobby farm is 28 acres with views to the Porongurup Mountain Range. Tucked away in quiet Takalarup, we are surrounded by nature, in particular - amazing bird life! Kangaroos are often seen jumping through the paddocks on dusk. The sunsets from the campsite over the Porongurup Ranges are a great way to finish each day at Rocky's Retreat. Meet our friendly resident sheep - pellets available to feed them, and they love pats! We only accept one booking at a time to allow our guests privacy and plenty of space. Well-behaved, socialised, on-lead pets are welcome too. We are located approx. 40km from Mt Barker, 50km from Albany, 15km to Porongurup National Park and 45km to Stirling Range National Park. Within a short drive you can find incredible local wineries, cafes and restaurants. The property makes a great base camp for day trips to Denmark, Albany, Mt Barker, Stirling Ranges and the Porongurup Ranges. If you are wanting to cool off at the campsite, a swimming spot on the upper Kalgan River is 800 metres down the road. Please note - we have recently undertaken significant native revegetation around the camp site, planting approx. 6,000 native seedlings for native flora and fauna habitat. Therefore, the site looks different to some of the previous photos showing open paddocks. Please refer to the photo in our listing taken in Summer that shows the native revegatation with tree guards around each seedling. Campers must be self-contained, with their own in-built camp toilet, and leave no trace. Dump points are available in Mt Barker and Albany. Telstra works in most areas. We don't take bookings for tents/swags by themselves at this stage. We look forward to welcoming you to stay at Rocky's Retreat. The property is new for camping and we are always looking to improving our offering, so we would love your feedback. More information available about the campsite, on the 'Mountain Sundowner Paddock' booking section.

Weekend Trip to Shady Block, Sleepy Town

I found it to be a real nice place to stay, it’s in a very quiet township that is quite easy to get to. Shell is real nice to talk to and great with her communication, the people around the area are also really lovely. The site itself is nice, it has a fence around it so I didn’t have to worry about my puppy running off, it’s private so I didn’t have to worry too much about being disturbed. Even whilst being within a little township it still felt like bush camping. It was a great stay and I would definitely stay again if I am around the area, I highly recommend.

Mates and i tent camped at the site and it was beautiful. Host was communicative and helpful. Only heads up is maybe bring a jerrycan of diesel for the generator incase it runs out like ours did. No real towns nearby and had to throw away our refrigerated food, but it’s all part of the experience haha

Weekend Trip to Rocky's Retreat Bushcamp

As two family groups, we had the most fabulous stay at this family-friendly Hipcamp! From the moment we arrived, Kaysanne and her family went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their genuine country hospitality made us feel right at home, and nothing was too much trouble. The site itself was peaceful and perfect for families. Our kids loved exploring, and we all left with big smiles and memories. Thank you so much, Kaysanne and family, for creating such a warm, memorable experience — we can’t wait to come back.

Great experience, the paddock had great views of the Porongurups and was only a short drive from the Stirling ranges. The owners were lovely and had left out wood for us to use on the fire, they even helped us look for my phone which went missing. They had a very cute dog which visited us a few times. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone visiting down south.

Weekend Trip to Rocky's Retreat Bushcamp

This quiet campsite near the Stirling Ranges and Porongurups was the perfect base for a few days of hiking. Surrounded by nature, it was peaceful and well-maintained. The campfire setup was a highlight—complete with firewood provided, making it easy to relax under the stars after a big day on the trails. A lovely little spot I’d definitely return to!

First hipcamp review! There is a big gate to enter into the backyard, spacious backyard. No locks on the back gates or front and the neighbors can see in but it's a nice spot to park up for a night or two to explore Walpole.

Weekend Trip to “Clear View” Farmstay and Camping

Great camping experience on the Parson’s farm. Generous sized camp sites, some beautiful native scrub to wander through, dogs allowed on lead, provided a fire pit for a camp fire, and some truly special sunrises and mornings that make everything golden. Also, the stars were incredible and there was a decent amount of privacy. Communication with host was easy, they were responsive and provided clear directions. Porta-potty on site for a toilet, but also a close dump point at Mount Barker visitor centre if you have your own. Under an hour to Albany and Denmark in either direction and a great access point for heading to the Porongurups and Stirling Ranges National Park. It was a pleasure staying here, had a great time and would do it again! Cheers.

An absolutely beautiful spot and such incredible hosts. Even provided us with a lot of firewood so that we could enjoy a warm fire in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay here. We would most definitely be returning at some point. 😊

Where to go

Rainbow Coast

Rocky coves and rugged headlands give way to white-sand beaches and idyllic inlets along the Rainbow Coast. Nearby Albany is the gateway to the natural wonders of Torndirrup National Park, while West Cape Howe National Park has spectacular coastal hikes, paragliding, and beachside camping. Further west, enjoy swimming, snorkelling, and camping at William Bay National Park, where the star attractions include the Green Pool, Elephant Rocks, and Parry Beach.

Walpole Wilderness

Ancient karri forests, soaring granite peaks, and sprawling wetlands make up the vast Walpole Wilderness area, which stretches north and west of Denmark. Set out to explore the walking trails of Mt Lindesay National Park, go fishing and kayaking at Walpole-Nornalup National Park, or camp right by the beach at D’Entrecasteaux National Park. Hiking highlights include the Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk and the long-distance Bibbulmun Track.

Stirling Ranges

Denmark sits at the foot of Western Australia’s mountainous southern region, affording plenty of options for mountain hikes and backcountry camping. Marvel at the giant boulders of Porongurup National Park on a scenic drive or bushwalk, or head further afield to hike and camp at Stirling Range National Park. The park’s seasonal campground has unpowered sites suitable for campervans and camper trailers, but there are also glamping cabins and caravan sites nearby.

When to go

The most popular time to visit Denmark is during the summer months, when the warm and dry weather is ideal for leisurely beach days and outdoor activities. The distinctive seasons and changeable weather along the Rainbow Coast make for some impressive views all year-round, especially during winter, when the low-lying sun and frequent rainfall combine to give the coast its name—rainbows can often be spotted throughout the day.
