Need a caravan park near Perth

Caversham is on the north eastern outskirts. Woodman Point is on the south western fringe.

Seconding Karrinyup Waters, which is close to public transport (rail and bus) for easy city access with no parking problems. My daughter chose it for holidays with her young children and was very happy with the park and location, and the ease of using public transport to visit the city as well as other tourist attractions around the metro area.

I agree Karringup is an ideal spot. Bus at the gate direct to shopping centres and train station.

I stayed at this park on the first couple of nights of my recent trip. The main attraction for me was that it was only 1 or 2 km from the place where I rented the RV; I didn't want to drive too far on the wrong side of the road after a 24+ hour journey from the USA. I booked online about three weeks in advance and paid $42/night for a powered site with just myself.

You can walk one block to the main road and catch a bus to go downtown - but I recommend checking the Transperth website online (or calling their helpline) to know which bus you need. The folks at the caravan park office were helpful with a printed bus schedule but when I got to the bus stop, the number on the bus didn't match the schedule. I let the first bus go by, thinking the "right" bus would be along soon, but it didn't come; half an hour later I got on the next iteration of the "wrong" bus and it took me right downtown, like I wanted.

There is a BP station on the main road (right next to the bus stop) for snacks, etc; I'm not sure how close other amenities like grocery stores are, as I ended up shopping in a different part of Perth. From what I remember from looking at maps online, the closest Woolworths, Kmart, etc are in Redcliffe, 3 or 4 km away. You can walk out the back of the caravan park and southwest (towards downtown) a couple of blocks and get onto the walking/bicycle path that goes along the Swan River.

It seemed reasonably OK at the time, considering it was the first park in Australia I'd ever stayed in. On the rest of the trip I had some better and some not as good; the $42 might be a little optimistic but then again it *is* right in Perth.

I hope this helps!

Yes - Caversham was the one we stayed in - easy to find, plenty of room, lovely area - we drove to a railway station, left car and trained it into the city - easier than driving around not knowing where you are going. Enjoy Perth.

This would be my choice too. Easy access to Roe and Tonkin Highways, big shopping centres eg Belmont, Carousel not too far distant. And head up the Hills to Kalamunda for yummy cafes.
