There’s something about pulling into a Kalbarri caravan park that instantly slows you down. The air smells different up here — saltier, warmer, freer — and before you’ve even unhitched the van, you already know this was the right call.
Kalbarri’s caravan parks sit at the sweet spot between rugged natural beauty and genuine comfort. You’re minutes from Chinaman’s Beach, the Murchison River, and some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Western Australia — yet you’ve got hot showers, a cold drink in the esky, and a campfire to look forward to when the sun goes down.
We’ve been recommending Kalbarri’s caravan parks to visitors for over 30 years. Here’s everything you need to know.
Kalbarri Caravan Parks — Our Top Picks
Tasman Holiday Parks Kalbarri
Kalbarri Tudor Holiday Park
Anchorage Caravan Park river
Red Bluff Tourist Park
Overlooking the rugged red coastline that gives it its name, Red Bluff Tourist Park is Kalbarri’s most dramatically positioned caravan park — and one of the most underrated stays on the entire Coral Coast. All powered ensuite sites are newly built with private bathrooms and secure storage, and the premium holiday units and spa units offer self-contained kitchen facilities for those wanting a little more comfort.
Why Stay at a Kalbarri Caravan Park?
Kalbarri’s caravan parks attract every kind of traveller — grey nomads clocking up the kilometres, young families on school holiday adventures, fishing obsessives who want the river on their doorstep, and first-timers discovering the Coral Coast for the first time.
What they all have in common is this: they leave wanting to come back.
The value is exceptional. For a fraction of what you’d spend on a hotel or holiday home, you get a spot in one of Western Australia’s most beautiful coastal towns, with everything you need within walking distance. Cook your own meals, meet your neighbours, watch the pelicans work the river at dawn — it’s a genuinely different way to experience Kalbarri, and most people who try it become converts.
Kalbarri’s caravan parks also put you in the perfect position for some of the best fishing on the Coral Coast. The Murchison River mouth is renowned for its bream, whiting, and mulloway — and you’ll find plenty of fellow fishing enthusiasts happy to share a tip or two over the back fence.
What to Expect from Kalbarri’s Caravan Parks
Modern Kalbarri caravan parks are a long way from the bare-bones camping grounds of years past.
