Just 1 hour from Perth, Harmony Retreat is a conscious camping space situated on 25 acres at the foothills of the Darling Range Escarpment just 10-15 minutes from Pinjarra and Dwellingup, 7 minutes from the southwest highway, and 3 minutes from Pinjarra-Williams Road. It's an easily accessible and picturesque private property with approximately 7 acres of forest, flushing toilet, hot outdoor shower, a winter creek, a swimmable spring-fed dam, and an abundance of bird and wildlife, nestled between cattle farms in the heart of the Peel region. There are friendly free-ranging chickens and Guinea fowl, a mischievous mini pig, friendly goats, sheep, and a family dog on site. The owners Michelle, Troy, and Carolyne live and work onsite (this is a working farm). THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO BOOK IF YOU INTEND TO PARTY. The camping area is easily accessed by most vehicles. There is a hot water outdoor shower and toilet available to use and within walking distance of each site. CHILDREN - The dam on the property is currently unfenced and has steep sides when the water line is low, therefore this property is not recommended for those with small and wandering children. We also asked that older children are supervised, so as not to vandalise property, nature, gardens and fire-pits (this has been a problem in the past). Friendly dogs are welcome, however, must be kept on a leash at all times, due to free-ranging chickens, livestock and wildlife on the property. There are no cooking facilities available. Therefore, you will need to be completely self-sufficient including cooker, kettle, esky, etc, and also bringing your own drinking water as the water from the taps comes from our spring-fed dam. We do ask that you follow local fire regulations with no outdoor open flames during fire bans. All rubbish and waste needs to be taken with you. However, Peppa the Pig will always appreciate your veggie scraps. Fires are permitted in designated fire pits during fire season. Anyone found having a fire during FIRE BANS will be reported to authorities and asked to leave the property immediately (we need to use firm words around this, as bushfire destroys homes and endangers lives). You can find details and learn a little more about what we do at here at hwcommunity.org

Don't forget your mozzie coils, they're out and about at the moment! And a bit of firewood while the season for it lasts... We have 3 beautiful and secluded sites to offer, right in the heart of the Dwellingup State Forest, 1 of them on the banks of the Murray River. All sites here enjoy a minimum of 100 metres separation. We love all animals here at Nanga River Retreat and we'd love for you to bring yours along (Remember to book our pet friendly site – ‘River Camp’, and dont forget to bring your little yellow bags please). We also enjoy an abundance of wildlife traffic through the property. We would love to see all the Witches, Wiccans, and other Weirdos out there, we encourage you to book in for a spell. (pun intended) You'll fit right in. 🧙‍♀️ We invite discreet devotees of herbs, and mushrooms, to visit for a while, you will absolutely love it here, with privacy you just cannot get at the park 🤙 Come and find yourself, or maybe lose yourself, down by the river in Dwellingup, forest getaways dont get much better. Please Note; Loud drunkenness, anti-social behaviour, and rude misconduct will lead to eviction without refund, and reporting to Hipcamp. Also, no off-roading. No motor bikes, quads, buggies, or any other form of self-powered transport in the dirt. In-fact while you're here, any sort of hooning on the property will lead to eviction without refund and reporting to Hipcamp. So folks, the idea of this campsite and indeed of the entire property, is that it's intended as a tranquil and quiet retreat for those that wish it to be so. Thanks for understanding. A small advice for those bringing children, in fact for anyone that intends to swim in or be beside the water, this is a wild and unfenced river access area and all care should be taken in supervision. Please see the site rules. One more thing, feel free to contact us via Hipcamp if you're interested in staying here but for some reason fall outside of the site parameters listed on this add, we're pretty flexible and in most cases will be willing to accommodate your needs. Remember, this is camping by the river, not glamping by the pool! We hope to hear from you soon, and we know you're going to love your stay whatever your endeavour while you're here. Seeya soon, Shane n Deeg.

This vacant block is located on the opposite side of the main dwelling, relatively flat with a winter-flowing creek, surrounded by native trees and local habitat. Kangaroos are often seen frequenting the property along with kookaburras the odd echidna. Sleep amongst the beautiful sounds of the local bird wildlife. Located only a 2-minute drive from the popular Lake Leschenaultia where you can have a swim, take out the kayak, or enjoy one of the bike trails. Drive 5 minutes to downtown Chidlow to indulge in a beer and a meal at the local pub and also visit the local grower's mart to purchase food supplies or alcohol. There are plenty of walking and mountain bike trails to keep you entertained for your stay.

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.

Another great stay! Peaceful camping near the river with awesome bird life - saw Rainbow Bee Eaters, Blue Wrens, red tail black cockatoos and kookaburra daily while sitting back and relaxing. Shane is a great host and will be back again!

A great location to just relax and recharge. The birdlife was amazing, so many varieties came by the campsite to say hello. We stayed in campsite 1. The river was just below. It was a lovely few days.

Great spot, plenty of shady tree cover and a large sized site situated next to a swimming dam. Nice campfire and not too far from toilets and shower. The hot showers under the stars were great to have. Owners seemed to take pride in the place and what they're offering. We would go back again for the peace and quiet and the option to cool down with a dam swim or warm up with a shower. Thank you to the hosts, we thoroughly enjoyed our two nights and so did our doggo. :)

We stayed overnight at River Camp. It is a beautiful secluded spot. Plenty of wildlife. We saw kangaroos, a quenda, blue wrens, parrots, kookaburras and of course some friendly magpies. We are planning to go back shortly.

We stayed at the Dam site for 2 nights and it was amazing. There was a bilby that came and said hello, and the dam was absolutely amazing to swim in. The spaces are private and big, and the actual retreat is nice to go and walk around and explore. Overall we had a great time and I would definitely recommend!

Lovely little secluded place next to the river and surrounded by trees. It was beautiful, so quiet with just the sounds of nature. The little piglets were so cute too that would come and say hello.

We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the camping lot. Very spacious, with a play swing set for kids (note to self for bringing the grandies next time) Transportable loo clean and operating. Lovely 2 minute to walk down the embankment to the river. Much more privacy than in the National Park. Geese, pigs and little piglets in their pens a good distance away and it was a delight to visit them. Lots of activities to do around the area or just do nothing and enjoy the peace and quiet, the trees and the birds. Spotted a Splendid Blue Wren close to our camp! Yay! Prompt communication from Shane throughout. Thank you Shane, it was just what we needed.

A beautiful property to explore. Lots of privacy at the river camp site. Huge site. The later check out time meant we could enjoy our last morning and the tent was dry by the time we packed up. We only got home this afternoon and we're already trying to figure out when we can go again. Thanks for having us!

We had the most wonderful stay at Nanga River Retreat. The setting is beautiful and so peaceful, surrounded by wildlife. Each morning we woke up to the sound of birds, and in the evenings we spotted baby pigs wandering about which was such a sweet surprise. The river and walking tracks made it easy to explore, but it was also the perfect spot just to sit back and soak up the quiet. Everything felt serene, private and relaxed, exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend if you’re after a calm nature escape

We camped at the harmony dam site and it was beautiful!!! We had the best time. My 6 year old daughter was in her element feeding Peppa the pig and getting to see the sheep, chickens, rooster and birds everyday!! The toilet and shower facilities were immaculate and very well kept and the natural spring dam and trampoline were a hit too. If you are wanting to head out some places are recommended and honestly the magic barn and play grounds are worth it!!! We will absolutely stay there again!
