Camping
Whether you prefer a well-equipped caravan park in town or a remote bush campsite by the ocean, camping is one of the best ways to experience the region’s natural beauty.
From December to May, Esperance is very busy, and accommodation often books out well in advance. Planning ahead is essential.
Please avoid travel to Esperance without a confirmed booking. If you arrive without a reservation, accommodation cannot be guaranteed.
