The Cottage Garden

1 site · RV2 acres · Woorree, WA
This property was owned by an Italian family who came to Australia in the 30's. We bought the house in Aug 2021 and fell instantly in love with it and all its quirkiness. The original cottage is still on site and is a long term renovation project for us, it may be old but holds lots and lots of history behind them walls. The verandah area is yours to use, if you wish, for a bit of extra room to escape the rain or provide a bit of shade (depending on season) it has a powerpoint and light for your convenience. Unfortunately, as there are building works happening at the back of the cottage we have closed access to the toilet area for your safety at this time.

Hill River Farm

5 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Moonyoonooka, WA
At Hill River Farm you will experience a secluded area right close to the Chapman River amongst the gumtrees, with the Kookaburras and many other bird life. Horses roam in the paddocks, and it's fields of green for as far as the eye can see. We provide potable water, and a pristine setting, but other than that we ask you bring what you need to be self-sufficient. Only 15 minutes to the city of Geraldton and the beaches yet far enough away to enjoy time out in nature. Go for a stroll through and around the river area or the farm, and enjoy the peace and quiet. We look forward to welcoming you to Hill River Farm.

Valentines Ridge

4 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Greenough, WA
Enjoy this peaceful 10 acre bush block, just a 15 minute walk to the local beach! The property is located 20 minutes to Geraldton and a 15 minute drive to woolies. There’s a beautiful ridge that requires 4x4 to access but plenty of space in front of it for those who don’t. There are no amenities so you’ll need to be self contained, there is a dump station about an hour out of town at a rest stop. Due to winds it’s not recommended to have an open fire but a gas stove will be fine!

Camping near Geraldton guide

Overview

The happening hub of the Midwest, Geraldton is the epitome of country-meets-coast. About 4.5 hours north of Perth, the city itself has plenty to offer—from historic architecture to street art and white-sand beaches to rock lobsters—but it’s the attractions around Geraldton that put it on the map. From the Abrolhos islands to the western wildflower trails, the rolling hills of Chapman Valley, the vibrant pink hues of Hutt Lagoon, and the red rocks and rivers of Kalbarri National Park, Geraldton is the jumping-off point to some of Western Australia’s must-see sights. It’s also a dream spot to go camping, with options ranging from ocean-view campsites to family-friendly holiday parks and cosy chalets.

Where to go

Geraldton & Vicinity

The only city in the Midwest, Geraldton is a great spot to base yourself if you like to be close to the action. Dotted around the city’s CBD and foreshore, you’ll find a handful of caravan parks, holiday parks, and 24-hour car parks, where campers in self-contained motorhomes can stay overnight. If you prefer being on the outskirts, there are plenty of options too, from historic homesteads to relaxing river-front camping areas, where you can pitch up and enjoy all the beauty of the bush, especially during wildflower season.

Horrocks Beach & Port Gregory

Once voted one of Australia’s best beaches, Horrocks is a quaint coastal town north of Geraldton popular with campers and 4WDers. Offering plenty in the way of holiday parks and campsites, it’s a good spot for a bbq and a relaxing camping trip. Alternatively, you can continue on the northwest coastal highway to Port Gregory, where you’ll find funky campsites and caravan parks sandwiched between the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean and the flamingo-coloured waters of Hutt Lagoon.

Greenough & Dongara

While Geraldton is known for its rock lobster, Western Australia’s official rock lobster capital is actually a quirky town called Dongara, which is 45 minutes south. Complete with a giant red lobster, caravan parks, and beaches, Dongara is a great place to set up shop, although there are plenty of accommodation options between Dongara and Geraldton, including Greenough, a living 19th-century ghost town with funky windswept trees.

Kalbarri & Kalbarri National Park

Just under two hours north of Geraldton on the north west coastal highway, the town of Kalbarri is another popular camping spot with a relaxed, holiday park vibe and plenty of accommodation options to suit campers, backpackers, and glampers alike. The jumping-off point to Kalbarri National Park, Kalbarri is a best-of-both-worlds kind of town, where you can enjoy camping on the foreshore and hiking through the dramatic red-rock landscapes of the national park.

When to go

The coastal breeze makes Geraldton a balmy year-round destination, with warm winters and warm summers with a few hotter days here and there. School holidays are especially busy, with campsites around Kalbarri and Geraldton filling up fast in the summer and winter holidays. Wildflower season—from the end of August to mid-October—is also pretty popular, with Western Australia’s prized carpets of wildflowers attracting campers and nature lovers from around the globe.
