Peedamulla Campground

Peedamulla, meaning ‘plenty water’ in local Aboriginal language, is where the Cane River runs through 226,000 hectares of cattle station.

Peedamulla’s newly built campground has modern amenities, powered & unpowered sites, wonderful views of the expansive countryside, with opportunity to explore isolated coastline, wetlands and heritage listed ruins, along with the warm hospitality of local Aboriginal owners, the Parker family.

Peedamulla Campground was developed under Tourism Western Australia’s Camping with Custodians program. Camping with Custodians is an Australian first initiative which allows visitors to stay on Aboriginal lands and engage with Aboriginal people. For communities, Camping with Custodians creates income, employment, training and the opportunity to showcase local culture.

The campground office is a beautifully restored stone heritage building, surrounded by a collection of objects showing some of Peedamulla’s rich history. Take some time to visit the remains of other buildings around the office, which are listed on the State heritage register for their significance. Visitors to the campground in mid-July may be lucky enough to see the annual muster herding hundreds of cattle ready for market.

Peedamulla offers 20 campsites (5 powered & 15 unpowered), lighting, hot showers, unisex toilets, communal fire pit, drinking water, a covered BBQ area, dog friendly and expansive views.
