Camping Grounds

Pitching a tent behind the Rottnest dunes is a memorable island experience – your childhood summer-holiday dreams come true.

Under a leafy canopy just a short walk from the cafes, shops and restaurants of the main settlement, Rottnest’s campsite is a brilliant budget option. There are 43 sandy tent sites here, each with room for up to six people in two tents – ideal for families or groups of friends enjoying Rottnest in all its laidback beachy splendour.

Just over the dunes is The Basin swim spot – a natural sandy-floored ocean pool encircled by reefs, with the gentle Indian Ocean swell rippling through.
