15 Amazing farm stays in WA
In my mind, there’s no better camping opportunity than on someone’s private property. Farm/Station stays are becoming hugely popular places to camp at in Australia, and for good reason.
It’s beneficial for both the station owners, and those looking for a great place to camp, and the experience is almost always better than being crammed into a caravan park like sardines.
We’ve got some amazing farm stays, and in this post we check out 15 amazing farm stays in WA!

Bolinda Vale
If bright green, rolling hills with a beautiful creek flowing through the valley is your thing, Bolinda Vale might just blow your mind.

Linga Longa at Lynton Station
We’ve had lots of pleasant surprises at different camp sites over the year, and Linga Longa was one of them. If you’ve ever driven to Kalbarri, you’ve probably been passed this place a few times, and we had been past it more than a dozen and never even knew it existed.
Linga Longa is a beautiful property opposite where the Hutt River meets the ocean. It’s got fantastic history, great amenities, lots of room to spread out and is like a caravan park without all of the downsides.

Mornington Wilderness
One of our favourite properties along the Gibb River Road in the Kimberley is Mornington Wilderness Camp.
Traditionally a cattle station, this property was purchased and turned into a wildlife sanctuary, with the eradication of cattle, cats and feral dogs a huge priority.
Today, its one of the most amazing places to see a variety of native (and rare) birds, dingoes, marsupials and rodents. We had an amazing time at Mornington, and would hugely recommend it.

El Questro
Last, and certainly not least is El Questro Station, which struggles to be called a farm. The property is at the end of the Gibb River Road, is home to a number of cattle and is also one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Kimberley.
On a busy night it will host 800 + campers, along with luxury accommodation and everything in between. It’s home to some of the most amazing gorges in the country, and money aside, its extremely well worth a visit.

There’s something truly magic about staying on another persons private property, especially when its well priced, has some of the amenities we love about a caravan park and is private and peaceful. I think this sort of camping is going to become huge in the future, and we love the idea of it.
Where else in WA is a next level farm or station stay? We’d love to check it out!
Thanks Vicky,
We are lucky to have lots of great places to enjoy
All the best
Aaron
