Lakeside camping in Western Australia guide

Overview

Australia's largest state affords plenty of ways to get on the water, whether you're seeking a tranquil spot to fish and paddle, spotting freshwater crocodiles on a cruise, or cooling off at an outback swimming hole in the Kimberley. Check into a holiday park or cabin along the shores of Lake Argyle, the largest manmade lake in the southern hemisphere; marvel at the bubblegum pink waters of the Hutt Lagoon and Lake Hillier, or pitch your tent by the shores of Stockton Lake or Black Diamond Lake, both within easy reach of Perth. When summer (November through March) temperatures soar, snagging a lakeside campsite will keep you cool, but water sports can be enjoyed year-round. Perhaps check into a rustic unpowered site at Wellington National Park, find a scenic spot by Jasper Lake at D'Entrecasteaux National Park, or escape the crowds at a private lake campsite.
