Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Francois Peron National Park adventure.
This remote park boasts red cliffs, turquoise seas, and peaceful coastal campsites.
Located on Western Australia’s Peron Peninsula, 726 kilometres north of Perth and 335 kilometres from Carnarvon by road, the Francois Peron National Park contains some of the state’s most dramatic coastal scenery–and that’s really saying something. The red cliffs and sands contrast with the turquoise sea, looking as though the desert is tumbling right into the ocean. Visitors can drive four-wheel-drive vehicles along the sand (in certain areas), soak in an artesian hot tub in the Peron Heritage Precinct, and hike to Skipjack Point. A handful of coastal camping areas provide peaceful bases in the park.
Winter and the WA school holidays are the busiest time of year in the park. The Peron Peninsula is quite far north in the state, so it experiences a semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Most travellers will find the months between April and October the most comfortable time to camp in the park and to enjoy the outdoor activities.
