Howdy Hi,
I will be in
Perth in August as part of my 11 week Long Service Leave Tour, and I am trying to work out which is the best caravan park in
Perth. I will be staying in a cabin for a bit of comfort after 8 weeks in the camper, and before the trip
home via the Anne Beadell. Soft I know but so be it. I suppose I am after a CP with good facilities for 9 year old to have a ball, close to town and water and reasonably priced for a four night stay. Have looked at the following:
Perth International Tourist Park
Central CP
Karrinyup Waters Resort
Kingsway Tourist Park
Can anyone help me in this decision?
Cheers
Glenn

Hi Glen,
We have also stayed at Karrinyup Waters and would certainly vouch for it being one the very best CP I've ever stayed at - the
lake with beautiful swans that love to be hand-fed is a highlight for
young and old! It is located near Balcatta which is north of the CBD tucked away in a residential area. Whilst we found it ideal as we needed a 2 week stay whilst house-hunting when we moved here in 2000, it isn't exactly near anything touristy so may not be as convenient as you had hoped. Kingsway is too far east, and I don't know the other 2 which probably means they are further south as I'm not that familar with the southern suburbs. I do know that we tried to stay at Woodman Point CP when we were travellers, before being residents of
Perth, but it was booked out. This would still be worth checking out as it is right on
the beach just south of
Fremantle so there would be plenty to do. There is also a bus service that runs from Woodman Point to Freo which you might find useful.
Hope this helps!

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the info, I am sure James will love feeding the birds, as
well as
the beach.
Cheers

Hi Glenn,
I live in the Karrinyup Waters Estate (residential estate in Gwelup) and the KW caravan park is in a great location. I used to know the previous managers and the park is very
well maintained, has a great
pool and is certainly one of the best CP's around. It's centrally located compared to the other parks and while I have not stayed at any CP in
Perth (funny that!!), it would be my first choice if I did.
Walk round for a beer one night when you get here!
Cheers
Captain
