Western Australia has some of the country's most dramatic landscapes, and glamping is the way to experience them without sleeping on a rock. From safari tents overlooking Ningaloo Reef to eco-domes in the Margaret River wine region, glamping in Western Australia covers everything from weekend escapes near Perth to bucket-list stays in the Kimberley.
Here are the best glamping spots across WA, organised by region.
Glamping near Perth#
You don't need to drive far from the city for a glamping experience. These spots are all within two hours of Perth:
Discovery Rottnest Island#
A short ferry ride from Fremantle, Discovery Rottnest offers eco-friendly glamping tents with ocean views across the Indian Ocean. Deluxe oceanside tents come with proper beds, linen, and a private deck. The resort has a pool, restaurant, and bar. Combine it with quokka spotting and snorkelling at The Basin.
Best for: Couples and families wanting a glamping experience without a long drive. Price range: From around $200 per night.
Lake Brockman Tourist Park#
About 90 minutes south of Perth, this adults-only glamping spot sits in the forest overlooking Lake Brockman. Each glamping tent has a queen bed, linen, basic kitchen equipment, and a private balcony with a BBQ. Peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by jarrah forest.
Best for: Couples looking for a quiet bush escape close to Perth.
Dwellingup Glamping#
In the heart of the Murray Valley, Dwellingup has several glamping operators offering bell tents, safari tents, and cabins among the marri and jarrah trees. The town is a gateway to mountain biking at the Dwellingup Trails and paddling on the Murray River.
Best for: Active couples and groups who want adventure during the day and comfort at night.
Margaret River glamping#
The southwest is one of WA's most popular glamping regions, combining wine country, towering karri forests, and stunning coastline.
Mile End Glamping#
Geodesic domes on a 144-acre estate with private outdoor bathrooms and sweeping views over the countryside. The domes are light-filled during the day and stargazing spots at night. Close enough to Margaret River town for winery visits, far enough to feel completely removed.
Best for: Couples wanting a design-forward glamping experience.
Soul Camping#
A unique setup where the Soul Camping team handles everything: they pack and unpack the tents, supply queen beds with warm blankets, and can arrange gourmet meals. You pick a location in the Margaret River region and they set up camp for you. More bespoke than a fixed-site glamping operation.
Best for: Groups and families who want the camping vibe without the setup.
Burnside Organic Farm#
Stay in a restored farmhouse or glamping tent on a working organic farm between Margaret River and Busselton. Collect eggs from the chickens, wander the orchards, and cook dinner with produce from the property. Genuine farm-stay glamping with substance, not just aesthetics.
Best for: Families and food-lovers who want a slower, hands-on experience.
Ningaloo and Coral Coast glamping#
The Coral Coast has some of the most spectacular glamping in Australia, with the reef as your backyard.
Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef#
This is the marquee glamping experience in WA. Wilderness tents sit in the dunes of Cape Range National Park, right on the shores of Ningaloo Reef. Each tent has a jarrah bed, cotton sheets, and an ensuite bathroom. Snorkel straight off the beach with whale sharks, manta rays, and turtles. All meals are included.
Best for: Once-in-a-lifetime stays. Prices reflect it, starting around $900 per person per night, but it includes everything. Season: Open March to October.
Bullara Station Stay#
A working cattle station in the Exmouth hinterland offering glamping tents, shearers' quarters, and bush camping. Less polished than Sal Salis but far more affordable and authentically outback. Join station activities, spot wildlife, and experience genuine WA pastoral life.
Best for: Travellers who want real outback experience with a comfortable bed.
Kimberley glamping#
The Kimberley is remote, rugged, and home to some of Australia's most exclusive glamping camps.
Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge#
Located right at the doorstep of the Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park, this lodge offers permanent safari tents with proper beds, hot showers, and meals. Helicopter flights over the beehive domes and guided walks through Echidna Chasm are available on-site. One of the few accommodation options inside the park.
Best for: Purnululu visitors who want comfort without the 4WD camping setup. Season: April to November (dry season only).
Kimberley Coastal Camp#
A fly-in-only wilderness camp on the remote Kimberley coastline. Tented accommodation on a private beach with fishing, whale watching, and Indigenous cultural tours. This is genuine wilderness glamping at the extreme end of the spectrum. Limited to a handful of guests at a time.
Best for: Adventurous travellers with a serious budget.
Karijini and Pilbara glamping#
Karijini Eco Retreat#
The only glamping option inside Karijini National Park, offering eco-tents and deluxe cabins perched on the edge of Joffre Gorge. The tents are semi-permanent structures designed to minimise environmental impact. Walk to the gorges and natural swimming pools from your tent.
Best for: Karijini visitors who don't want to set up a full camp in remote conditions.
Tips for booking glamping in WA#
- Book early for peak season. Margaret River and Ningaloo glamping books out months ahead during school holidays and the April-October whale shark season.
- Check what's included. Some glamping spots include meals and activities; others provide the tent and not much else. Prices can look expensive until you factor in what's covered.
- Consider the seasons. Northern WA (Kimberley, Karijini, Ningaloo) is only accessible during the dry season (April-October). Southwest WA is year-round but winter brings rain and cooler nights.
- Bring layers. Even luxury tents get cold at night in the southwest and inland. Pack warm sleepwear and a fleece.
Prefer a campsite over a glamping tent?#
If glamping prices are a bit steep, WA's national park campgrounds offer incredible camping at a fraction of the cost. Sites at Contos campground in Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand, and campgrounds across Karijini are bookable through Parks and Wildlife WA.
CampWatch also monitors WA national park campgrounds. If your preferred campsite is booked out, set up a free alert and we'll text you when a spot opens up.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does glamping cost in Western Australia?
Prices range widely. Budget glamping near Perth starts around $100-150 per night. Mid-range Margaret River options run $200-400. Premium experiences like Sal Salis or Kimberley Coastal Camp cost $500-1500+ per person per night, usually all-inclusive.
What is the best time to go glamping in WA?
Southwest WA (Perth, Margaret River) is good year-round, with autumn (March-May) being ideal. For northern WA (Kimberley, Karijini, Ningaloo), the dry season from April to October is the only practical window.
Is glamping worth it in Australia?
For locations where traditional camping would require serious 4WD setups and remote logistics, like Purnululu, Ningaloo, or the Kimberley coast, glamping gives you access to extraordinary places with minimal hassle. For spots closer to Perth where you could easily car camp, it depends on how much you value the comfort upgrade. --- Planning a WA camping trip?
