RV Friendlies & Events

Just 108 km south of Perth at the foot of the Darling Scarp, Waroona is a relaxed, RV-friendly base that makes it easy to restock, recharge and explore from sea to scarp—water to wilderness. Signed, shaded long-vehicle bays are a short stroll from country shops and the train station, and you’ll find RV essentials on hand, including a free dump point and potable water at the Waroona Town Oval, plus convenient 48-hour RV sites at Railside RV on Fouracre Street and the Town Oval hard-stand. Many travellers call in on their way to the South West and end up staying longer. Discover small-town hospitality at Railside Park and in local stores and the Waroona Visitor Centre, then venture further afield across a shire that stretches from coastal Preston Beach to Yalgorup National Park and the world-famous Lake Clifton thrombolites. Adventure comes easy here: launch a kayak or throw in a line at Drakesbrook Weir, cast from the shore at Preston Beach, paddle and fish at Lake Navarino (Waroona Dam), wander forest trails under towering trees, tee off for a relaxed round of golf at Preston Beach, and time your visit for wildflowers and black cockatoos overhead. After a day outside, settle into country pubs, bakeries and cafés for hearty classics and local produce; weekend markets and seasonal menus showcase the district’s farm-fresh flavour. Stay your way with holiday parks and cabins around Lake Navarino, in-town hotel and motel options, B&Bs and cosy cottages across the shire. For maps, RV site details, what’s on, and more ways to discover, adventure, eat and stay, head to VisitWaroona.com.au and start planning your getaway.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Waroona Visitor Centre & Gallery37 South Western HwyWaroona, WA 6215P: 08 9733 1506E: tourism@waroona.wa.gov.au www.visitwaroona.com.auCasual Parking       Fouracre St, WaroonaShort Term Parking           Waroona Showgrounds, alongside SW Highway, nil charge, 48 stay maximumRailside RV Stop - Fouracre St (opposite Railside Park)Dump Point  Waroona Town Oval, off Millar StRailside RV Stop - Fouracre St (opposite Railside Park)Potable Water          Waroona Town Oval, off Millar StHospital        Mandurah (35min drive)Harvey (20min drive)Doctors Surgery     Harvey Medical Group, 22 Fouracre St Waroona, 08 9733 3007Pharmacy     Waroona Chemmart Pharmacy, 22 Fouracre St, Waroona, 08 9733 1315Supermarket            Waroona Supa IGA, Fouracre St, Waroona, 08 9733 1233
