Welcome to Salt & Ember – A Hidden Camping Escape.
Tucked among the trees, Salt & Ember offers a peaceful retreat for Caravans, Campervans, and Tents—the only local campsite with uninterrupted vineyard views. With the Thorny Devil Brewery right next door, you can stroll over for a beer-tasting paddle and a smoked meat platter before heading back to unwind under the stars.
By day, explore the nearby Thrombolites, a natural wonder just a short 5-minute walk away, or take an early morning stroll to the Secret Giant, a hidden gem nestled in the landscape. You'll often wake to the sound of parrots and kookaburras, with other native wildlife making their presence known throughout the day. There are plenty of rabbits to spot, and if you’re lucky, kangaroos and emus might pass through.
The campsites offer stunning views of the vines, and are set within the trees for a secluded and tranquil experience.
At this stage, the road is a little uneven, so we recommend a 4WD for access. Once you’re here, you can kick back, take an afternoon nap under the trees, and enjoy the peaceful charm of this one-of-a-kind escape.
For supplies, there’s a convenience store just down the road, and if you’re after a beach day or need more amenities, Falcon is only a 15-minute drive away. Perth is just 1 hour and 20 minutes from the campsite, making this the perfect weekend getaway.
Whether you're here for a weekend of relaxation, a brewery visit, or a base to explore the region, Salt & Ember is the original escape—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm.
NOTE: A residential property is located at the far end of the acreage. Please respect the privacy of the homeowners by avoiding the area near the shed & house. Your campsites are situated several acres away, ensuring both your privacy and theirs.

This campsite is a blend of convenience and nature's charm. It's nestled among beautiful trees, offering a scenic and shaded environment, while being strategically located next to a brewery and several local attractions. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the friendly critters that drop by, though some campers noted the sandy aspect of the site. While it's ideal for caravans given its flat terrain, those relying on solar might find the tree cover a bit challenging.
Nice big flat site and lots of shade.
Lots of friendly wildlife visiting.
Right next to brewery and the thrombolites. Also within short drive of the peel estuary and also the white hills 4WD beach.
For us we rely on solar there are a lot of trees and we have a camper trailer the sand is very dirty . If you want to see this part of the world it is very central to all the sites. Don’t recommend the brewery’s choices on music but their bear not bad.
We had a good time and the site was secure.recommend for caravans not camping.
