Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Fitzgerland River National Park adventure.
This coastal national park features lots of rare plants but few human visitors.
On the southern coast of Western Australia, 470 kilometres from Perth, Fitzgerald River National Park is a seriously biodiverse place. The rocky coastal landscape contains many plant species, 75 of which can’t be found anywhere else. Hiking the park is one of the best ways of experiencing the flora and fauna, but you can also swim, snorkel, kayak, surf, fish, and—of course—camp at three basic campsites. It’s a quiet national park that doesn’t see too many visitors, which makes it all the more special, and is a good place to stop on road trips through southern Western Australia or when en route to South Australia via the Great Australian Bight.
Spring and summer are the best times to visit the Fitzgerald River National Park. The weather is generally warm in spring without being too hot, and you probably won’t encounter many other visitors. The park is especially busy during the Australian school summer holidays, but this is a good time to visit if you want to spend time on the beach and in the sea.
