Nestled in the jarrah forest near Dwellingup, about 100km south of Perth, Lane Poole Reserve is a natural playground perfect for families seeking outdoor adventure. This stunning 55,000-hectare reserve features the meandering Murray River at its heart, creating multiple family-friendly camping areas along its banks. The reserve offers both basic and more equipped campgrounds, with Nanga Mill and Baden Powell being particularly popular with families due to their amenities and river access.
Stand Out Feature
The Murray River is the crown jewel of Lane Poole Reserve, offering safe swimming spots, canoeing opportunities, and excellent fishing spots. The dedicated rope swing areas and natural swimming pools are particular highlights that kids absolutely love during the warmer months.
Top Tip
Book a spot at Nanga Mill campground if you’re camping with young children – it has better facilities including drop toilets and picnic tables, plus it’s closer to Dwellingup town (about 7km) in case you need supplies. Visit in spring to see stunning wildflowers or autumn for perfect camping weather, and always book ahead during school holidays as this is an extremely popular spot for Perth families.
