City convenience: Perth Central Caravan Park

Perth Central Caravan Park is the go-to first or last night park for hirers flying into Perth. Located in East Perth, it's 15 minutes from the airport and walking distance to the CBD, making it ideal for travellers who need to sort supplies, pick up a hire vehicle, or drop off before a flight. The park isn't beachfront or scenic, but that's not why people stay here — it's about location and logistics.

Sites are compact and close together, but clean and well-maintained. Powered sites suit all rig sizes, and the amenities block is modern. There's a small camp kitchen, laundry, and undercover barbecue area. Hirers who've stayed here rate it highly for proximity to Woolworths (two minutes' drive), Bunnings, and other essential stops before hitting the road. Camplify owners who know Perth suggest booking at least a week ahead during school holidays — this park fills quickly with grey nomads starting or finishing big laps.

The real appeal is strategic: stay here your first night, sort out your campervan setup, grab groceries, then head south to Fremantle or Margaret River, or north to the Pinnacles. It's not a destination park, but it's a smart staging point.

• Distance: 15 minutes from Perth Airport

• Best for: first/last night stops, grey nomads, hirers flying in

• Key facilities: powered sites, modern amenities, camp kitchen, laundry

• Book ahead: school holidays and long weekends

Beachfront family favourite: Woodman Point Holiday Park

Woodman Point Holiday Park sits on Cockburn Sound in Coogee, 30 minutes south of Perth CBD. This is a family favourite among Camplify travellers — close to Fremantle, the ferry to Rottnest Island, and Perth's southern beaches. The park sprawls across grassed sites with coastal views, and kids rate it for the playground, jumping pillow, and direct beach access.

Powered sites are spacious and suit large family rigs. Unpowered sites back onto the beach, offering slightly more privacy. The amenities are excellent: multiple blocks, clean facilities, and a well-equipped camp kitchen. There's a small kiosk for basics, but Coogee village (five minutes' drive) has Coles, cafes, and bottle shops. Feedback from Camplify's community of owners and hirers consistently highlights this park for families with young kids — the beach is calm, shallow, and safe for swimming.

Book at least two weeks ahead for December and January. Summer school holidays see this park fully booked with Perth locals and interstate travellers. Peak season aside, it's quieter midweek in autumn and spring. Hirers planning a Rottnest Island day trip appreciate the proximity to the Fremantle ferry terminal (20 minutes).

• Distance: 30 minutes from Perth CBD

• Best for: families with kids, beach access, Rottnest Island day trips

• Key facilities: powered sites, beach frontage, playground, jumping pillow, camp kitchen

• Book ahead: December and January school holidays

Riverside escape: Guilderton Caravan Park

Guilderton Caravan Park sits where the Moore River meets the ocean, 90 minutes north of Perth. This is a quieter coastal alternative to busy metro parks, and Camplify travellers consistently rate it for riverfront sites, beach access, and a laid-back vibe. The town itself is tiny — a general store, pub, and not much else — but that's the appeal.

Riverfront powered sites are the pick here. You'll wake to water views and watch pelicans fish from your camp chair. Beach sites are also available, though slightly more exposed to wind. The amenities are basic but clean, and there's a camp kitchen with barbecues. The beach at Guilderton is popular for fishing, swimming, and 4WD access (if your hire agreement allows it — check with your Camplify owner first).

Camplify owners who know this area suggest visiting midweek in autumn or spring to avoid crowds. Summer weekends see Perth locals flock here for fishing and beach camping. The Moore River is calm and shallow near the estuary, making it safe for kids. If you're heading north to Cervantes or the Pinnacles, Guilderton makes a perfect overnight stop.

• Distance: 90 minutes north of Perth

• Best for: couples, grey nomads, fishing, quiet coastal escapes

• Key facilities: riverfront powered sites, beach access, camp kitchen, basic amenities

• Book ahead: summer weekends and public holidays

Airport proximity: Discovery Parks Perth Airport

Discovery Parks Perth Airport is exactly what the name suggests: a functional, well-equipped park five minutes from Perth's domestic and international terminals. If you're flying in late or out early, this park eliminates stress. It's not scenic or beachfront, but Camplify travellers recommend it for convenience when timing matters.

Powered sites are compact but adequate for overnight stops. The park offers cabins and ensuite sites as well, though most hirers stick to standard powered sites. Amenities are clean and modern, with a camp kitchen, laundry, and small pool. There's no grocery store on-site, but a Coles is five minutes' drive. Aircraft noise is noticeable during the day, but most flights stop after 9pm.

This park works best as a first or last night stop, not a base for exploring Perth. If you're picking up a Camplify hire at the airport, staying here makes sense — sort your setup, sleep, then head out in the morning. Grey nomads appreciate the proximity for early flights home after long trips north or south.

• Distance: 5 minutes from Perth Airport

• Best for: first/last night stops, early flights, grey nomads

• Key facilities: powered sites, pool, modern amenities, camp kitchen

• Book ahead: school holidays and peak travel periods

Coastal access: Sorrento Beach Resort

Sorrento Beach Resort sits in Perth's northern suburbs, 35 minutes from the CBD. This park offers direct beach access, family-friendly facilities, and proximity to Hillarys Boat Harbour (five minutes' drive). It's a solid base for families who want beach days, Rottnest Island trips, and easy access to Perth's attractions without staying in the city.

Powered sites are grassed and spacious, with most backing onto gardens or parkland. The beach at Sorrento is patrolled in summer and popular for swimming, snorkelling, and sunset walks. Facilities include a pool, playground, jumping pillow, and games room — kids stay entertained. The camp kitchen is large and well-equipped, and the amenities blocks are modern.

Feedback from Camplify travellers highlights this park for families with school-age kids. Hillarys Boat Harbour (the departure point for Rottnest Island ferries) is close, and Aquarium of Western Australia is a 10-minute drive. The park fills quickly during school holidays, so book at least two weeks ahead for December and January. Midweek in autumn offers better availability and quieter beach conditions.

• Distance: 35 minutes north of Perth CBD

• Best for: families, beach access, Rottnest Island day trips

• Key facilities: powered sites, pool, playground, jumping pillow, beach frontage

• Book ahead: December and January school holidays

Southern gateway: Mandurah Caravan and Tourist Park

Mandurah Caravan and Tourist Park sits on the Peel Inlet in Mandurah, one hour south of Perth. This park works well as a staging point for trips down to Margaret River, Busselton, and the South West coastal loop. Mandurah itself offers canals, waterways, and dolphin cruises, making it worth a day or two before heading further south.

Powered sites are flat, grassed, and suit all rig sizes. Waterfront sites overlook the inlet, though these book out quickly. The park's facilities are comprehensive: pool, camp kitchen, playground, and modern amenities. There's a small kiosk, but Mandurah's town centre (five minutes' drive) has Coles, Woolworths, and everything else you'll need.

Camplify owners who know the area suggest staying here if you're planning the classic south loop: Perth to Margaret River to Albany to Esperance and back. Mandurah makes a natural first stop, breaking up the drive and giving you time to finalise your route. Summer weekends see this park busy with Perth locals, but midweek availability is generally good year-round.

• Distance: 1 hour south of Perth

• Best for: grey nomads, couples, staging point for South West trips

• Key facilities: waterfront sites, pool, camp kitchen, modern amenities

• Book ahead: summer weekends and public holidays

Northern beachfront: Ledge Point Holiday Park

Ledge Point Holiday Park sits 90 minutes north of Perth in a small coastal town known for fishing, surfing, and 4WD beach access. This park appeals to travellers heading north to Cervantes, Jurien Bay, and eventually the Pinnacles. It's quieter than metro parks and offers a genuine coastal escape without the crowds.

Powered sites are spacious, and many back onto coastal scrub. The beach is a five-minute walk, and it's popular for fishing, swimming, and surfing. Facilities are basic but adequate: camp kitchen, clean amenities, and a small playground. The town has a general store and pub, but stock up on groceries in Perth before arriving.

Camplify travellers heading north often stay here their first night out of Perth, breaking up the drive to Cervantes or Jurien Bay. The beach at Ledge Point allows 4WD access (with permits), though hirers should confirm with their Camplify owner whether off-road driving is permitted. Summer weekends see fishing enthusiasts fill the park, so book ahead if travelling December to February.

• Distance: 90 minutes north of Perth

• Best for: couples, grey nomads, fishing, northern staging point

• Key facilities: powered sites, beach access, camp kitchen, basic amenities

• Book ahead: summer weekends and fishing season

Planning tips: Swan Valley stays

Maali Bridge Estate isn't a traditional caravan park, but it deserves mention for travellers who want a wine region experience close to Perth. Located in the Swan Valley (30 minutes from the CBD), this boutique retreat offers a handful of powered sites alongside glamping tents and cabins. The estate includes a winery, restaurant, and function space.

Powered sites are limited and suit smaller rigs or campervans. Facilities are upmarket: modern amenities, access to estate grounds, and proximity to 40+ Swan Valley wineries, breweries, and distilleries. This isn't a park for families or large groups — it's aimed at couples and grey nomads who want a quieter, wine-focused experience before or after a big WA road trip.

Camplify owners who've stayed here suggest booking well ahead — sites fill quickly, especially during vintage season (February to April). If you're planning the northern loop (Perth to Exmouth via Coral Bay) or heading to family camping destinations near Perth, the Swan Valley makes a relaxing first or last stop.

• Distance: 30 minutes from Perth CBD

• Best for: couples, grey nomads, wine lovers
