About this park

Murchison House Station is a riverside caravan park near Kalbarri in Western Australia's Shire of Northampton, set on pastoral land with access via bitumen road and a corrugated track.

Stargazing and community activities feature regularly. The park suits caravanners comfortable with basic outback camping and those exploring coastal Western Australia. Site sizes are generous, though expect minimal vegetation between sites.
