The best luxury caravan campgrounds near Yallingup, Western Australia

Ringed by crashing waves, rolling vineyards, artist studios, and old-growth forests, Yallingup offers picture-perfect views everywhere you look—even underground. Just three hours south of Perth, the town sits on the edge of Western Australia’s Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, between Dunsborough and Margaret River, and above a labyrinthine network of limestone caverns. Meaning “Place of Caves” in the local Noongar language, Yallingup is home to the popular Ngilgi Cave, although most campers tend to stay above ground, with plenty of caravan parks and campsites on offer, from waterfront holiday parks to secluded tent sites in groves filled with peppermint trees.

I’ve done a lap and a half of this country and this is one of my fav caravan parks. Spacious sites, on the river, great amenities, heaps of friendly wildlife, you can literally give a kangaroo and it’s Joey pat while the Joey is on the pouch. The bird mafia of ducks, parrots, magpies and kookaburras will raid you though so keep on eye on those sneaky little buggers. Staff were awesome. Recommend getting a powered site they are bigger and provide more sun if you need solar. Unpowered section is nice but under trees and pretty intimate with your neighbors.

Best camping experience we ever had in Western Australia. We were a group of 5 motorcycle riders from Perth and did a 3 day, 2 night stay in the park. It was an epic motocamping experience for the whole trip. The best part of it was the host and staff namely Denise and Michelle were so accommodating, helpful and friendly. Friendliest staff I had ever met. Their smiles will make your stay a memorable one. The park itself is an excellent place to do camping with families, friends, workmates and riding buddies. Facilities is top notch and clean. Love the animals around the park as well. 5 star for our motocamping experience.

The best luxury caravan camping near Yallingup guide

Where to go

Yallingup Surrounds

Whether you like bush campsites, waterfront caravan parks, or beach camping, Yallingup has it all—though the latter may involve a little hiking, with some of the best tent sites found on the popular Cape to Cape walking trail. If you’d prefer something more luxe, Yallingup is also great for glamping, with family-friendly chalets, quirky bell tents, and kitted-out caravans complete with cosy firepits and swimming lakes. You’ll be close to popular spots like Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, Yallingup Beach, Canal Rocks, and Injidup Natural Spa.

Dunsborough & Margaret River

On one side of Yallingup, you’ll find Dunsborough, and on the other, Margaret River, Western Australia’s wine capital. Two of the state’s most popular holiday destinations, both have a range of caravan parks, holiday parks, and campsites to suit everyone from families with dogs to couples after a quiet Indian Ocean beach break. Some local wineries and breweries even offer on-site campgrounds, so you can enjoy all the fruits of the land without worrying about how to get home.

Busselton

The gateway to the southwest, the coastal town of Busselton is another popular holiday destination and a great option for campers who want to stay slightly closer to the city lights but still have the bounty of the Margaret River region on their doorstep. Known for its 2-kilometre wooden jetty—complete with train and underwater observatory—Busselton features beachfront caravan parks and holiday parks with fully kitted out camp kitchens, as well as nature-based campsites and hidden chalets.

Blackwood River & Nannup

East of Yallingup lies a (semi) untouched wilderness, with towering karri forests and farmland rolling on alongside the meandering Blackwood River National Park. Further inland, the chocolate-box town of Nannup has plenty to offer, from kayaking and outdoor adventures to campsites next to lavender farms and natural pools in the forest. Barrabup Pool is one of our favorites, although to be a little closer to Yallingup, you’ll find some great camping areas near Canebrake Pool as well.

When to go

The summer months are the most popular time to go camping near Yallingup, with most campsites filling up well in advance, especially between December and February. If you don’t mind a little wind, spring in the southwest is spectacular, with migrating whales passing by and wildflowers blooming along the Indian Ocean coastline. Autumn is usually fairly dry and cool, while the wetter winter months offer quieter campgrounds and national parks, secluded beaches, misty mornings, and star-studded nights around the campfire.
