THE DEPT - DPIRD - Agriculture - has advised us to stop campers bringing wood onto our property due to the outbreak of the SHOT HOLE BORER. It would be devastating if this dreadful bug should come this far. We appreciate your co-operation.
Pinegrove is a small property of 107 acres nestled in the forest away from traffic and suburbia, 14 kilometers off the Brookton Highway.
We run Merino sheep and have pure bred Border Collies for sheep work and dog trialing, which is Ivan's sport . It's a natural bush block with cleared areas.
We welcome campers and people wanting to park their caravan or RV. Campfires are permitted (except when fire bans are on). Free firewood to collect.
We ask that campers do not use the bush as a toilet please, this is not acceptable and please do not empty caravan toilets on any part of our property please. There is a toilet in the shed at the Homestead or please bring a portable toilet,
We do have to limit the use of the toilet if our water supply runs low as we depend on rainwater for all our needs.
We appreciate campers to be self contained if possible.
Well behaved dogs are welcome, they should be on a lead if coming anywhere near the sheep or Homestead please. There are no swimming spots at our place, there is a pool in town which is 30 minutes away.
There is plenty to see and do in the area such as Boyagin Rock you can climb, we are only 30 minutes from Brookton, 40 minutes from Beverley and about 45 minutes from York. You are also welcome to watch host Ivan training the sheepdogs!

Welcome to Salt & Ember – A Hidden Camping Escape.
**TEMPORARILY CLOSED | We’ll be back soon better than ever. Stay tuned!**
Tucked among the trees, Salt & Ember offers a peaceful retreat for Caravans, Campervans, and Tents—the only local campsite with uninterrupted vineyard views. With the Thorny Devil Brewery right next door, you can stroll over for a beer-tasting paddle and a smoked meat platter before heading back to unwind under the stars.
By day, explore the nearby Thrombolites, a natural wonder just a short 5-minute walk away, or take an early morning stroll to the Secret Giant, a hidden gem nestled in the landscape. You'll often wake to the sound of parrots and kookaburras, with other native wildlife making their presence known throughout the day. There are plenty of rabbits to spot, and if you’re lucky, kangaroos and emus might pass through.
The campsites offer stunning views of the vines, and are set within the trees for a secluded and tranquil experience.
At this stage, the road is a little uneven, so we recommend a 4WD for access. Once you’re here, you can kick back, take an afternoon nap under the trees, and enjoy the peaceful charm of this one-of-a-kind escape.
For supplies, there’s a convenience store just down the road, and if you’re after a beach day or need more amenities, Falcon is only a 15-minute drive away. Perth is just 1 hour and 20 minutes from the campsite, making this the perfect weekend getaway.
Whether you're here for a weekend of relaxation, a brewery visit, or a base to explore the region, Salt & Ember is the original escape—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm.
NOTE: A residential property is located at the far end of the acreage. Please respect the privacy of the homeowners by avoiding the area near the shed & house. Your campsites are situated several acres away, ensuring both your privacy and theirs.

We booked both sites at Paperbark Retreat for 5 caravans over New Year.
Lots of room and flat areas to park up the vans and not be on top each other with shaded areas to sit under.
Great location to just chill out with friends only just over an hour from Perth.
Will definitely be back!

Great place to stay, loads of grass and open space whilst still feeling private. I will recommend this to any friends looking for somewhere just out of the metro to get away for couple days.

This was the perfect 2 night getaway in our camper trailer to rest and recharge. We stayed on site 2 which was flat, shady and pre-raked ready for our arrival. Although we couldn't have a campfire due to the time of year fire restrictions, this site would be perfect for when open fires are allowed. The sites are distanced far enough apart that you still have privacy.

Our second visit, and will go back again for sure. Our dogs l9ve it there. Huge camp sites with plenty of flat areas for tents. Peaceful and pretty. During campfire season there's plenty of free wood. Margery and Ivan are the ideal hosts. There if you need them, but leave you to set up, spread out, and camp as you like it. Highly recommended.

Second review after a second stay, I have to highlight what a gem Margery is. After arriving to my site and realising it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, she was so accomodating and willing to swap me over to another available site. I stayed at site 4 this time and it was perfection. Surrounded by a ring of trees and rocks and nearby the dam that the sheep hang around. Felt very private and very green at this time of year. It is on quite a slope but I made it work with my tent set up. Did have some very noisy neighbours on the other side of the property playing loud music all night until mid next morning on both nights of my stay, which made getting a good nights sleep a challenge. Love thy neighbour folks, consideration and courtesy for each other ensures we all get what we are looking for during our stay. The sites are well spread but loud music travels.
I will definitely be back again. I love this place. Not too far from Perth, beautiful scenery and lovely hosts.
