Experience the natural beauty and immaculate beaches of Perth by making your next holiday a caravanning adventure.
Perth is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes that are perfect for caravan parks. From parks nestled in historic wine regions and on the doorstep of national parks, to those perched right on the sand with direct beach access (and hours worth of kids’ activities), these are the best caravan parks in Perth and its surrounds for your next adventure.

The coastal Guilderton Caravan Park is an hour north of Perth. Its beaches are perfect for swimming, fishing and surfing, while the Moore River provides cruises, canoeing, fishing and a safe swimming spot for the kids. The park includes spacious camping bays, self-contained chalets and a BBQ area with a fully enclosed camp kitchen. And if you’re after a little luxury (or simply don’t want to set up your own campsite) the park also has one of Perth’s best glamping experiences. Simply arrive and immediately start relaxing in your comfortable bell tent with a queen bed, bath towels, chair and table, cutlery and crockery, and bathroom supplies – they even supply a Bluetooth speaker, mosquito repellent, and camp lantern.

A caravan park that doesn’t feel like a caravan park at all is how you’d describe Swan Valley Caravan & Holiday Park. The modern Hamptons-esque cabins are sophisticated, sun-drenched and inviting, and some of the powered caravan sites even have their own private ensuite. There are the usual amenities like BBQs, laundry and kiosk-come-general store. And the kids will be happy with the playground, swimming pool and big stretches of lush green grass. They have dog-friendly options, and the Swan Valley wine region is right on your doorstep.
