Camping around Perth with your best Friend

Spare a cup of coffee. Donations Save Lives, especially little ones.

There are so many places you can take your beloved friends.

Nanga Brook

Nanga Brook – Nanga Brook flows through the campsite meeting the Murray River. There are many lovely little paths and shallow waterways for the children to play in.

In 1909 a townsite was laid out and built by Millars, complete with 56 homes and several other lodgings, a store, butcher, hall, billiard room and school. Later, three tennis courts and a sports oval were added. A thriving timber mill town. Sadly the Great Depression took its toll on the once-flourishing township.

Bookings are essential and can be made up to 180 days before arrival and for one campsite only. Eight campsites are available on a first-come-first-served basis.

It is the closest one to Treetops Adventures.

Nanga Mill

No prior booking required.

The Nanga Mill was the biggest in the area for many years and at times employed over 100 men at the jarrah saw mill. Sadly the mill burnt down in a case of suspected arson in 1941 and, although rebuilt, the town never recovered its former glory. What was left of it was destroyed by fire in 1961, but the remains of the town can be seen among the trees.

Nanga Mill is now a spacious campground with space for 55 large tents, camper trailers or caravans with the Murray River within walking distance.
