Walpole Camping

Did I mention it rains a lot in Walpole, which is why the big red tingle trees grow so prolifically?  This means that Walpole camping is not a good idea year-round. 

In fact, we suggest that the best months are December through March when there isn’t too much rain. 

Also, Walpole is a great place to see wildflowers.  Read our guide to finding the best Wildflowers in Western Australia.

One of the area’s best Parks and wildlife campsites is Fernhook Falls. It allows for bush camping in a beautiful setting right near the falls. There are no showers here.

Other places for Walpole camping include the Coalmine Beach Caravan Park, which is located on the edge of the Nornalup Inlet. 

Rest Point Caravan Park Walpole also provides powered or non-powered sites in a lovely location.  There is plenty of fishing or kayaking close to both Walpole Caravan Parks and a nice ambience.

If you have a 4WD and are looking for a truly spectacular Walpole Wilderness camping experience, then Rame Head has a hut, which is an awesome place to get away for a few days.

If you are interested in camping in Walpole, please send us a message. We are planning to elaborate on this information and would be happy to do so!
