Sandy Cape used to to be a hidden secret but now its favourite location. Its in a sheltered bay area with great snorkelling and ideal conditions for using a stand up paddle board!

Get the most from your road trip!
”Went to Esperance, camped in Cape Le Grande national park, we climbed Frenchman’s Peak, drove our 4WD on the beach, camped on the beach for 3 nights, absolute paradise, If you are driving from Perth I suggest you head down to Margert River, then Albany and hit Esperance, on the drive back to Perth you can go more direct but make sure you stop past Wave Rock on your way home.

Camping/Glamping
Lake Kepwar
We camped here for only a night although the booking is a 3 night minimum, we wished we had stayed longer but due to our kids getting ill and needing to see a doctor we cut it short, we paid $90 for the 3 nights and it was such a lovely quiet site which had great walking trails and the lake was amazing, if you have a boat or paddle board I recommend taking it. The camp site is dog friendly which you have to pay extra for but it’s not a lot, there is also another camp site the other side of the lake which is a free camp but you would have to get there mid week to get a good spot. Around the camp site there’s some 4×4 tracks you can take for a bit of off-roading if you fancy it and the bbq and toilet facilities are great there. They also have fire pits on most of the sites, firewood is available from the shop/cafe they have onsite which is great for incase you forget anything and the lady’s that run it are so helpful.

Perron Estate, Bunbury
It’s got the most wonderful secluded little camp site. It’s got two sides there’s a side with a few camping spots but very privately spread out or if you’re self sustainable then there’s a spot completely by yourself. The only neighbours are the wild kangaroos that are literally a stone through away from where you sleep. There’s also the opportunity in the morning to feed the Scottish Highland Cattle. The hosts are wonderful and even provide a pack of biscuits for the kids to keep them quiet while you set up. They can also provide a camp fire and wood ready for you for when you get there at an extra cost which is well worth it by the time you finish setting up you can just sit around a camp fire and relax, also dog friendly!
Yanchep
Yanchep is a relaxing weekend away with the option of being busy. The beach is stunning and the wild life is amazing. Perfect for Camping or there are a few other accommodation choices near by. Snorkel, hike or head in to town.
Check in at the visitors centre to see what events they are having whilst you are there as they run cultural and cave tours through out the year.
There are helicopter tours, mini golf and tree top adventures all available so you can enjoy your stay with the whole family. If you are looking for hiking trails there are multiple length hikes so you can explore and see the wild life, caves, woodlands and wetlands in the area.
Make sure you pack comfortable shoes, sunscreen and water bottles for your adventures!
Romantic
Busselton
”Busselton is beautiful and quiet beach side town, its Jetty is the 2nd longest in the world at just under 2km, we caught a train to the end where there’s an underwater viewing point of the jetty where you can see the coral and beams below sea level. There’s many lovely restaurants that over look the sea and a great brewery which you can get a drink from and watch the ocean.
