Summer Creek

28 sites · Lodging, Tents100 acres · Bakers Hill, WA
Summer Creek was established in 1884 by Edward Vivian Harvey Keane. Keane was a prominent figure in the development of Western Australia, having constructed over 800km of rail around W.A. The property runs alongside the discontinued railway line, known as the Kep Track / Golden pipeline trail, which is part of the same railway network as the Bibbulmun track. The old winery building was saved by R and A Poulton, after a demolition order was places on it by the Northam shire in 2002. The property is now heritage listed, and the fight to preserve it from main-roads continues. Come along to Karaoke at the Restaurant every Saturday night!!! Our camping set-up is a work in progress so we would appreciate your suggestions and feedback, we now have a cold shower on site. When things dry out we will be able to do more work on the accessibility. Also, stay tuned for our glamping option yet to come :) Currently Adults only, no children. If you book during the week (Monday to Thursday) please arrive before 7:30pm and make sure you give us a call to we know you are coming, we don't always check these messages. Thank you :)

The property is well located to access many great wineries and cafes in the famous Swan Valley area, some within walking distance.

Avonbrook Wheatbelt creekside camp

3 sites · RVs, Tents44 acres · West Toodyay, WA
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. Avonbrook is ideal with its yearlong Creek and rocky outcrops for our Dexter cattle and Boer goats. We hope to enjoy for many years to come. 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 Avon Valley National Park 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
