Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Kalbarri National Park adventure.
Hike to inland gorges, fields of wildflowers, and dramatic sea cliffs at this WA park.
It might be a day’s drive from Perth, but the remote wilderness of Kalbarri National Park is still one of Western Australia’s most-visited parks. Hikers have plenty to get excited about here—windswept walks along jagged sea cliffs, epic photo ops at natural wonders like Nature’s Window, and inland gorge trails teeming with wildlife. Don’t miss the view over the Murchison River Gorge from the Kalbarri Skywalk and a swim in the Indian Ocean at Red Bluff Beach. There’s no camping in the park itself, but you’ll find private campgrounds and caravan parks in nearby Kalbarri and Port Gregory.
Dazzling displays of wildflowers bloom throughout the park in winter (June through August), and if you don’t mind the rain, the cooler weather makes it a good time for hiking. Summer temperatures can soar to 40°C, especially inland, so plan outdoor activities for early morning or late evening. The sweet spot lies in-between (March through May) when the warm, dry days are perfect for exploring. Just don’t expect to have the place to yourself—this is peak season.
