Wongin Mia - 3912 Frankland-Cranbrook Road, Cranbrook Our property is a carbon farm which is a part of the Gondwana Link project. This is an environmental project which is endeavouring to create a green corridor from Augusta to the Nullarbor to allow the fauna to travel freely when migrating. Featuring 400 acres of revegetated bushland and 100 acres of remnant bush along a winter creek. It's a great place for bird watchers. We have wild flowers all year round but the spring months bring an abundance of Orchids and wild flowers. Bush lovers will be inspired with plenty of wildlife about. You can have a camp fire in winter although you will need to bring some firewood, there's plenty of kindling, or you can purchase a bundle from us if you wish. The campsites are level and grassy and suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water supply. We are about an hour drive north of Albany and 300 kilometres south of Perth. The property is pretty close to the Stirling Range National Park, Porongurup National park, Frankland wine district and lake Poorrarecup. Wongin Mia makes an excellent base for exploring this picturesque area. Birdlife is plentiful including parrots, wedge tail eagles, red breasted wrens, Carnaby's and Boudin's, Night jars, Willy wagtails, Barking owls and Welcome swallows. And of course there's plenty of kangaroos and wallabies. This is a unique property where you will experience a true bush environment with seclusion and tranquillity. There are many places to walk or ride and explore. We feel honoured to be able to share this beautiful peace of paradise. Your dog is very welcome to camp with you.

If your up for a bit of romance then the sunset site is for you. Overlooking farm land and remnant bush with the Revegetation behind. You get the best of both worlds. A great site which will produce spectacular sunsets. Easy to get to all year round. There is abundant kangaroos and bird life to see. Very secluded with no other camp sites near, complete privacy.

Pingelup creek Camp 1

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 13 m
Pingelup Creek camp is a large treed area close to the creek, which only flows in the winter. There is plenty of room, and two camp sites are available, which are at least 50 meters apart. A well shaded area in summer with barmy evenings and a wide open sky to star gaze. It is a great site for families as there is plenty of room for the kids to play and explore. There is a small shelter with a bench and chairs and in winter there is a fireplace provided. Spring is spectacular as the wild flowers are abundant. But please tread carefully as there are rare plants in the remnant bush, lower your eyes, and enjoy your walk. Along with plenty of wildlife and birdlife to see. This is a great site for a large group booking.

Camp Nuytsia is named so because of the large Nuytsia tree (Australian Christmas tree) that is growing there, it is very old and stands apart from the revegetation. The flower is spectacular, usually around December, January. This is a very easy site to get to with an open area to park a caravan, or you may want to tuck into the bush nearby. There is a fireplace provided for winter visitors. You may be visited by the very friendly sheep or the many kangaroos on the property. It's a great spot for star gazing. Its a good site for visitor's arriving late in the evening, as you may have to find it yourself. It is well Identified with signs

This campsite is a haven for those seeking peace and privacy amidst nature. Campers consistently praise the spaciousness and seclusion of the sites, perfect for families, pets, and those yearning for solitude. The hosts, Dale and Melissa, are frequently mentioned for their warm welcome and helpfulness, enhancing the camping experience. While most enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility, a few have noted the dry conditions during summer and the challenge of finding the entrance, but overall, the positive experiences prevail.

My stay at Wongin Mia was fantastic! I stayed at the Sunset Site. Which definitely did not disappoint, beautiful sunset overlooking paddocks and farm land, a nice spot under the tree for your swag or tent, plenty of room for a caravan. Loads of bird life! And even got to see a few kangaroos in the early hours of the morning. Incredibly private, and quiet. Perfect for anyone looking for a night or more away from the rat race of day to day life. Owners were very kind and respectful showed me to my site, said they were around if I needed anything and left me to enjoy the peace and serenity. Highly recommend!

Loads of space so you won’t feel like you’re crammed in. Owners kindly let us leave our trailer after check out time so we didn’t have to pull it round while we were touring. Good shower facilities at the Cranbrook vehicle rest stop 10 mins down the road.

Woodward Drive site
This site is really isolated. It would be good for anyone needing total isolation. It is a dry and uninviting area in the summer months. The picture must have been taken when there was significant rain, because there was nothing remotely inviting about the spot. No views no river nothing but scrub. I have found that many of the hip camps always seem to fail to identify the entrance. It is hard when you are towing a van on a hwy to identify a small tin number on the side of a hwy you are travelling along at 100 kms. This site is no exception. Even if the identifier for the properties was the orange hip camps sign that would be helpful. The host was friendly. We left early because it was hot dry and not a lot to see or do in the area after one day unless you wanted to go to every winery in the area.

This is a beautiful environmental farm stay. The host were lovely and accommodating. One of the first things I said to hubby was "this feels like home" The space we booked was spacious, flat and private. Perfect for the boy to run around and explore. It's also close to a wonderful town Cranbrook, which the general store and pub were great to stop in. And the boy loved playing at the local park. Thankyou for having us and I hope we can come stay again.

Great spot especially for a weekend Bluff Knoll hike. Its only 3 - 3.5 hrs drive from Perth, which is much more palatable after work on a Friday, instead of getting all the way to Bluff Knoll. You then have a cruisy 45-50 min drive to get to Bluff Knoll itself the next day which feels easy. Being close to Cranbrook for toilets is handy too, so I wouldn't be afraid of camping here without a portable toilet.

Absolutely lovley site, check which are 2wd/4wd pitches but they are all lovley, large and plenty of space between. Welcomed by the hosts who showed us round to our aot for the evening. Very peaceful, alittle road noise but the perfect spot to break up the journey to/from the southern coast. Lots of wildlife around, kangaroos spotted in the morning. Wish we had time for a longer stop here. There are no facilities so you do need to be fully self sufficient, but this is clear on in all information. 10/10

We had a great time at Dale & Melissa’s farm! The site was beautifully located on the edge of the original bush land and the revegetated area, it was very quiet and peaceful. We have hardly saw any other campers, since the sites are so far apart. We loved the beautiful bush for walks with our dog and the location was great to visit Stirling Ranges too. The terrific phone reception (even Optus) was a bonus. We will be back, since we think it will be spectacular in Wild Flower Season.
