Karijini National Park is one of Western Australia’s most breathtaking destinations, offering dramatic gorges, crystal-clear swimming holes and vast outback landscapes. When it comes to staying at Karijini Eco Retreat, travellers can choose between traditional camping and comfortable glamping — each offering a very different way to experience the park.
So which option is right for you?
Camping at Karijini Eco Retreat
Camping is ideal for travellers who love simplicity, self-sufficiency and being fully immersed in nature. With easy access to the park’s iconic gorges, camping allows you to wake up with the sunrise and spend long days exploring before returning to your site under a star-filled sky.
At Karijini Eco Retreat we have:
64 unpowered, eco-friendly campsites
Suitable for tents, campervans & caravans
Facilities include: shared bathrooms with flushing toilets and solar hot showers, undercover bush kitchens (BYO utensils), an on-site restaurant & bar, and a kiosk for drinks, snacks, ice and souvenirs.
Good to know: no water or dump points on sites. One site per vehicle.
Families: children 12 & under stay free (with an adult); 13+ charged as adults.
Camping is perfect if you:
- Enjoy a back-to-basics outdoor experience
- Are travelling with your own camping gear
- Prefer a budget-friendly accommodation option
- Don’t mind shared amenities and outback conditions
Camping offers an authentic way to experience Karijini, especially for adventurers who value flexibility and independence.
Glamping at Karijini Eco Retreat
For those seeking comfort without sacrificing connection to nature, glamping at Karijini Eco Retreat delivers the best of both worlds. Thoughtfully designed eco tents offer proper beds, shaded outdoor spaces, some fitted with private ensuite bathrooms and aircon — all set against Karijini’s rugged landscape.
We offer 4 types of glamping options for our guests – Luxury, Premium, Deluxe and Standard.
Glamping is ideal if you:
- Want a comfortable place to relax after long days of hiking
- Prefer private bathrooms and indoor amenities
- Are celebrating a special occasion or travelling as a couple
- Want an easy, stress-free outback experience
Glamping allows guests to focus on exploring Karijini by day and relaxing in comfort by night, making it a popular choice for first-time visitors and those new to outback travel.
So which one are you choosing for your stay?
There’s no right or wrong choice — it all comes down to your travel style. If you love the idea of minimal gear and maximum comfort, glamping is the perfect fit. If you’re drawn to a camping style adventure, pitching a tent or parking up your van may be more your speed.
No matter how you stay, Karijini Eco Retreat offers a unique base to explore one of Western Australia’s most extraordinary national parks.
