5 beautiful acres in the Swan Valley with horses, we run a horse rehoming charity from here where all proceeds from hipcamp go to support our facility. Along with plenty of horses, you'll also see kangaroos at certain times and our pet sheep Jamima who thinks she's a horse! A superb property with a winter creek and an open paddock where the horses live. It's very peaceful. There are only two camping sites available on this wonderful property at any time so privacy is assured. There is also a dam on the property so please mind any children with absent swimming abilities. Campfires are allowed during the season, and there is a toilet and shower available in the shed 100 meters from the camping area. Smaller groups booking the campsites will have full access to the toilet and shower. Please note, however, we offer a group camping option for larger groups but those booking this option must be fully self-contained as our facilities are not enough to support a large group. We have a strict Leave No Trace policy here, we kindly ask that you take all rubbish with you when you leave. We also ask that you please do not feed the horses. The property is well located to access many great wineries and cafes in the famous Swan Valley area, some within walking distance. Security here is taken care of by Mr security guard "aka" Smoky our pet dog. He's very safe and timid. If you get a pat from this boy I know you're good, so beware! We are dog friendly here, so you're welcome to bring mans best friend and we also have a secure yard to house any pets if you need a break, so long as they don't hassle the horses. We may also be able to accommodate your horse - please discuss this with us prior to booking. We look forward to welcoming you to Everything Horses ltd where you can enjoy one of the last pockets of peace left in the Swan Valley area.

Our family moved to Toodyay 3 years ago after spending 8 years in Kalgoorlie, we dreamt of space to keep animals and raise our children.

We have 2 campsites at the moment, site 1 is the smaller of them. There are unfortunately a few ants nests around so please be aware and pitch up anywhere around the site thats best, even on the paddock side if suits... thanks, Sarah PS the cows can be naughty and like to chew cords so keep the gate shut to resist temptation! Hope you enjoy your stay on our land. We appreciate it so much as an exchange of services and an amazing contribution towards raising our family thankyou Please no camp-fires during shire restricted periods of 1st Oct till 30 Apr thanks

The best camping near Walyunga National Park guide

Overview

About

Located in the hills north-east of Perth, the small Walyunga National Park is easy to reach from the city and is a great destination for day tripping. There’s also a small campsite for travellers who want to stay a night or two. The Avon River runs through the park, providing a peaceful backdrop for picnics, hikes, or more active canoeing and kayaking. It’s also an important site in local Aboriginal culture and history, with one of the largest known Aboriginal campsites around Perth. The Walyunga Campground is the only campsite in the park and has five sites that are suitable for tent and swag camping. Visitors interested in learning more can hike the Aboriginal Heritage Trail, one of several hikes in the park.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. The park’s only campsite, the Walyunga Campground, should be booked in advance online at the Explore Parks WA website. 
  2. Choose your dates carefully as a cancellation fee applies, and is higher in peak season. 
  3. The camping fee must be paid by credit card when booking, but the separate vehicle fee can be paid on arrival in the national park.

When to go

Spring is an especially good time to visit Walyunga National Park because wildflowers bloom, adding colour to the landscape. The park is especially busy during school holidays and on weekends, so visit or camp here mid-week for a more peaceful experience and greater chance to snag a campsite. Note that during and after heavy rain (most common in winter), the rivers in the park can become full and run rapidly through the park. The park is open daily from 8am until 5pm.

Know before you go

  • The toilets at the Walyunga Campground are non-flush pit toilets only. 
  • Generators can be used between 8am and 9pm only. Bring your own firewood as collecting it within the park isn’t allowed.
  • Walyunga Pool and Boongarup Pool are good places to paddle a kayak or a canoe.
  • Dogs and other pets aren’t allowed in the national park.
  • Hikers have several choices within the park, from the 4-kilometre Kangaroo Trail to the 11-kilometre Echidna Trail. Consider hiking with a personal locator beacon (PLB) for extra safety.
