There is a small creek running threw the middle of our property and 2 farm dams. Drummonds nature reserve is not far away and has 2 clay pan wetlands and some unusual native flowers. Our camp site is nestled amongst the wandoo and York gum trees near a small winter creek. There is classic wheatbelt cropping happening in the surrounding paddocks. There is a large flat area to pitch your tent or park your van. In winter there is green grass and as the seasons change so do the colours of the landscape.

One Green Sheep is a 500 acre working farm north of Bindoon, Western Australia, with beautiful breakaways and valleys, patches of natural vegetation and old stand trees in amongst pockets of cropped land. We are just over an hour from Perth at the very north end of the Darling Range with enormous starry night skies. My husband Kim and I have a strong focus on the environment and sustainability in our every day lifestyle and care for the land. Over the last 12 years or so we have planted almost 79,000 trees and shrubs successfully establishing wildlife corridors right across the property. We now also have 20 artificial nest tubes to support the Carnabys black cockatoos who return each August to breed. Our intention is to leave the land in a better state than when we first came here and we now want to share the wonderful environment with others, providing a place to get away and recharge as well as get excited about nature and all its wonders. In line with our environmental focus, we ask campers to Leave No Trace. This means you will need to have your own toilet facilities with you, you will need to take all your rubbish away with you and leave your car parked for the duration of your stay. As fallen timber is precious habit for small creatures (it’s not firewood!) you will need to purchase firewood from us for your stay. Please note that due to the Perth area now being in the Polyphagus Shothole Borer quarantine area you are no longer be able to bring firewood with you from the city. This is to safeguard our precious site and the surrounding bush. (Please get in touch with us if you aren't coming from Perth). Dogs are welcome but please keep them with you and don’t let them chase stock or wildlife. You are welcome to bring push bikes (or ebikes), or to explore on foot, but motorbikes are not permitted. We’d love to welcome you to this wonderful ecosystem. You will be camping in an area natural bush that feels a million miles from the city. We are open from 1 June to 30 September each year, the months when campfires are permitted. Please be sure to read the 'Rules' prior to booking for the finer details about what you need to know.

Weekend Trip to Sandalwood Downs Farm Stay Toodyay

One of the best experiences I’ve had with animals! I highly recommend the animal tour. I really appreciate Mark and Jane’s efforts in caring for and helping the animals. They are fantastic hosts who genuinely care about their guests, with clear instructions and great communication before arrival. Overall, it was an amazing experience, especially with kids. Highly recommended and worth every penny!

A fantastic hip camp that continue to come back to. The kids loved it for roaming the farm land, hanging with the animals and the stars at night. Great place and highly recommend. The animal feeding tour is something we do every time and the funds help to keep the animals going.

Weekend Trip to Evergreen Bush Stayz

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a lovely stay at Evergreen Stays The accommodation was exceptionally well maintained, beautifully presented and incredibly comfortable. It was also fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, which made our stay so easy and enjoyable. The whole place was thoughtfully laid out, clean, welcoming and clearly cared for. You can really see the pride that the Host Mark takes in maintaining the property and creating a comfortable experience for guests. Mark made our stay even more special — so kind, thoughtful and genuinely welcoming. It’s not often you come across accommodation where both the property and the hospitality are this exceptional. A huge credit to the host. We’re very grateful for our stay and would absolutely love to return. We highly recommend Evergreen Stays to anyone looking for somewhere relaxing, comfortable, beautifully maintained and genuinely welcoming. ❤️

Weekend Trip to Sandalwood Downs Farm Stay Toodyay

Wonderful weekend on the farm! Kids loved the marshmallows, playground and roaming friendly llamas. Farm tour was also great and Toodyay is only 10 minutes away. Each site was well spaced and relatively private and we enjoyed the star gazing at night. It’s been a dry winter so billabong was lower than we expected but obviously not the hosts fault. A fold out table is provided which was very handy but not the table and chairs in the pic. Would definitely stay again.

Secluded little spot only 15km out of the city, great for a quick getaway. Scenery was perfect with bushland and Birdlife. Our dogs had a great time exploring down at the stream and up at the lookout. The owner was very considerate and came to check on us daily if we needed anything.

Weekend Trip to River Run At Fettlers Crossing

This a is stunning spot with great access to the Kep Track for walking and cycling. Lots of wildflowers and stars at the moment so really relaxing. Great that dogs can be off lead and the space between sites is sufficient enough that they weren’t interacting with other campers. Bit up there on pricing considering the lack of facilities but I wouldn’t let that put you off if you’re self sufficient.

Weekend Trip to River Run At Fettlers Crossing

Great property just an hour out of Perth. Mark is a great host - welcoming, helpful and very responsive. Sites are nicely spaced with ample room - we managed to bag the last night for fires in the Shire so had a great fire in the fire pit provided. Wood is available to forage for on the property but we always carry our own. Fresh eggs available to order for that morning brekkie. Highly recommend this property - thanks again Mark - we will be back.

3 nights at Bungarra Wines

What an idyllic spot to camp for a long weekend. Sitting by the lake, with a camp fire, sipping on wine made within a stone's throw of your campsite was a perfect way for us to unwind. Chris is an excellent host and made us feel welcome. The site is large, clean and well maintained. Access is easy for any size vehicle. Fire wood provided as well as chairs and the lights around the lake are great for spotting the local critters. 100% we will be back.

The host was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. It’s a lovely, quiet place, with the added bonus of Mellie the dog, who was very friendly and loved saying hello. The location is also great and very close to Mundaring. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

Avon Valley National Park camping guide

Overview

About

Whether you’re scrambling up to granite outcrops to gaze out over the Avon Valley, hiking along native forest trails, or canoeing along the Avon River—the Avon Valley National Park is all about getting back to nature. Try your hand at white-water rafting, go hot-air ballooning over the Avon Valley, and look out for kangaroos, echidnas, and more than 90 species of bird along the way. Little over an hour’s drive from Perth, the park is a popular spot for a weekend getaway, with plenty of scenic picnic spots and four campgrounds to choose from.

Notable campgrounds

Best for tent campers: Drummonds Campground has shaded tent sites with picnic tables, fire rings, toilets, and untreated water supplies.
Best for valley views: Bald Hill Campground sits right by one of the park’s best viewpoints.
Best for caravanners: Homestead Campground has spacious flat-ground campsites suitable for caravans and camper trailers.

Tips for snagging a campsite

All park campgrounds are non-bookable and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Head to the self-registration station on Quarry Road to secure your campsite.
Arrive early (when the park opens) to snag a spot on weekends and holidays.

When to go

Summers are scorching in Western Australia, and exploring the national park is much more enjoyable from autumn through spring. White-water rafting is only possible in winter when water levels are high, and the annual Avon Descent rafting event in August pulls in the crowds. Wildflowers, including orchids, bloom throughout the valleys in spring (Sept-Nov), and this is also the perfect time for birdwatching and camping.

Know before you go

Avon Valley National Park is set 65 kilometres northeast of Perth, or about a 70-minute drive away. Park roads are unsealed and not recommended for caravans, especially after wet weather.
There is no vehicle access to the river within the park; the closest river access is at Cobblers Pool.
The park charges a per-vehicle entry fee, or you can use your Western Australia Park Pass. Camping fees also apply.
Avon Valley facilities include drop toilets, picnic and wood barbecue areas (bring your own wood), running water, and parking. There is no power at the park, and you’ll need to bring all supplies with you.
