More farmers and graziers are opening their gates to travellers every year. We have been on the road around Western Australia since 1992, so the guidance here comes from travellers who have actually stayed.

When to go: farm stay camping by season
Western Australia is a big place, so timing shapes both the weather and how busy it gets. Here is the rough rhythm of the year.
May to October, dry in the north
Chase the northern dry
The Kimberley, the Pilbara and the Coral Coast are at their best over the dry, with warm days and open roads. This is peak season up north, so popular spots fill and rates lift.
Good for: The Kimberley, the Pilbara and the Coral Coast.
September to November, southern spring
Wildflowers in the south
Spring brings wildflowers and mild days to the South West and the Golden Outback. Summer is hot inland but glorious on the southern coast around Margaret River and Esperance.
Good for: The South West, Esperance and the Golden Outback.
