The Ultimate Campervan Road Trip from Perth: Where to Go and How to Plan It

Western Australia is built for road trips. With over 12,000 kilometres of coastline, ancient forests, red outback landscapes and some of Australia's most pristine national parks, there is no better place in the country to hire a campervan and just go.

If you're based in Perth or flying in, you are already in the perfect starting point. Here is everything you need to know to plan your ultimate Western Australian campervan road trip.

Why hire a campervan instead of staying in hotels?

The freedom of a campervan road trip is unmatched. You wake up where you want, you stop when something catches your eye, and you don't have to check in or out of anything. For couples and solo travellers in particular, a campervan offers intimacy, flexibility and a genuine connection with the landscape that no hotel can match.

The best campervan road trips from Perth

Margaret River and the South West (3–5 days)

Just three hours south of Perth, the Margaret River region offers world-class wineries, dramatic coastline, ancient caves and spectacular surf beaches. This is the perfect first road trip from Perth — close enough to ease into van life but packed with enough to fill a week.

The Coral Coast to Ningaloo Reef (7–14 days)

Drive north from Perth along the Brand Highway and you'll discover one of Australia's greatest road trip routes. Stops include the Pinnacles Desert, Monkey Mia dolphins, Shark Bay World Heritage Area and Ningaloo Reef — one of the best places on earth to swim with whale sharks. This route rewards those with time on their hands.

The South West Edge (5–7 days)

Head south east from Perth towards Albany and the Great Southern region. This route takes you through the Valley of the Giants, the beautiful town of Denmark, stunning Greens Pool and the rugged Cape Le Grand National Park near Esperance. A hidden gem that most tourists miss entirely.
