Quick Overview

Kalbarri is a stunning coastal town at the mouth of the Murchison River in Western Australia's Coral Coast region, famous for its dramatic river gorges, spectacular coastal cliffs, world-renowned wildflower displays, and a relaxed town atmosphere that draws grey nomads back year after year.

Caravan parks provide powered sites, dump points, camp kitchens, and laundry facilities, with some parks offering river frontage or ocean views that make settling in for an extended stay particularly appealing. The town is accessible from the North West Coastal Highway via a sealed turnoff about 66 kilometres west, suitable for all caravan and motorhome sizes with good road surfaces throughout. Caravan Caravan park options range from well-equipped parks in the town centre to more basic camping within the surrounding national park for those who prefer a bush experience. The Kalbarri National Park itself is a major drawcard, featuring the famous Nature's Window rock formation that frames the Murchison River gorge below, and the newer Skywalk lookouts that cantilever out over the gorge providing vertigo-inducing views straight down into the ancient river valley. Over 800 species of wildflower have been recorded in the Kalbarri region, making the July to October wildflower season one of the most spectacular natural displays anywhere in Australia and a primary reason for the peak season crowds that fill every available caravan park site.
