RAC Exmouth Cape Holiday Park

RAC Exmouth Cape Holiday Park is a popular family base for exploring Exmouth, Cape Range National Park and the Ningaloo Reef. Located within walking distance of town and only a short drive from some of WA’s best beaches, it suits a wide range of travellers, from families in cabins through to caravanners and campers.

For families wanting a bit more comfort in the Exmouth heat, the cabins are a great option. The two‑bedroom self‑contained chalets near the pool work especially well, with a queen bed in the main bedroom and bunks in the kids’ room. Having separate bedrooms gives everyone space, and the large TV and modern fittings make evenings easy after big days out. Strong air‑conditioning in the living area and bedrooms is a real bonus in summer.

The cabins include a functional kitchenette with fridge, cooktop and microwave, so you can self‑cater easily. When something’s missing or you need extra bits and pieces, reception staff are friendly and helpful. Simple pleasures like comfy beds and a decent‑sized, modern bathroom also make a difference when you’re staying several nights in hot weather.

If you prefer the camping or caravanning life, the park offers a big range of sites – powered, unpowered, slab and natural ground, plus ensuite sites with their own private bathroom. There’s also a section of powered sites where pets are welcome, which is handy if you’re road‑tripping with a dog. The campground is large, with plenty of room for families and groups, and there are multiple camp kitchens fitted out with everything you need. These shared spaces can be busy in peak times, but they’re also a great way to meet other travellers while you cook.

Kids have plenty to do around the park itself. There’s a Playground they can enjoy once the sun drops, and a central swimming pool that quickly becomes the hub of the park on hot days. Families often plan their days around the weather – heading out early for snorkelling or exploring, coming back to cool off in the pool and relax through the hot afternoon, then venturing out again for dinner in town.

The pool can get busy later in the day and the water a bit cloudy after hours of sunscreened bodies, so if you like a quieter swim, earlier in the day is usually best. Grabbing one of the shaded gazebo lounges around the pool is a nice way to keep an eye on the kids while still getting out of the sun.

On‑site, reception sells basic snacks and ice creams, and there’s a surf and clothing store next door if you fancy a bit of retail therapy or need to top up your beach gear. The park’s location close to Exmouth town centre means you’re only a short distance from cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and tour operators, while still having a relaxed, holiday‑park feel when you come “home” each day.

RAC Exmouth Cape Holiday Park caters for everything from couples on a quick escape to large families road‑tripping the Coral Coast. With cabins, motel‑style studios, budget family options, powered and unpowered sites, and pet‑friendly areas, it’s flexible enough to suit most budgets and travel styles. It’s also very popular, so if you’re aiming for school holidays or whale shark season, booking ahead is essential.

Overall, this is a comfortable, practical and family‑friendly spot to base yourself while you tick off Exmouth’s big adventures – from swimming with whale sharks or manta rays to snorkelling Turquoise Bay, cruising Yardie Creek or simply watching the sun set over the ranges after a day by the pool.
