Travel to Denmark Ocean Beach
Fancy exploring Denmark, no air travel required? Yep, Denmark, WA, is about four-and-a-half hours’ drive from Perth, tucked away in a prime location to enjoy the magic of the coast, with bushland nearby, too.
Stop by the local caravan park for access to a range of facilities, including restrooms and showers, plus a well-stocked camper’s kitchen. Explore the surrounding bushland on foot or catch some waves out on the water. This is the ideal getaway if you want to really make the most of summer travel and get active in the sunshine.
Pay a Visit to the Kimberley
WA’s Kimberley region is iconic, boasting rich Indigenous history and stunning natural landscapes. Explore the ancient rock formations and take in the wonders of the great outdoors.
So long as you’re prepared for bumpy roads and river crossings, a visit to the Kimberly can open your eyes to the Aussie outback. Get all the way off-road along the edge of the Gibb River or uncover 350-million-year-old sandstone formations at Purnululu National Park. Out here, it’s just you and the open road.
PRO TIP: Make sure your off road camper is up to the job before you set off!
Explore Karijini National Park
What about a journey through the Pilbara? Karijini National Park offers sweeping views and lush landscapes that really show off WA’s best.
Check into a campsite for access to a variety of facilities, and don’t forget to appreciate the ancient history of the land. This place is rich with gorges and natural swimming holes dating back billions of years. If you’ve ever dreamed of a truly West Aussie adventure, you’ve found it at Karijini.
Journey to Jurien Bay
Jurien Bay is a classic destination for West Australian holidaymakers, just a two-hour journey from Perth.
