Planning a holiday to Francois Peron and Kennedy Range national parks is now easier, with campgrounds in the popular Gascoyne national parks the latest to transition to online booking and payment.

• You can now book for stays from 1 April 2026 using the Park Stay WA booking system for:
  Big Lagoon, Bottle Bay, Gregories, Herald Blight and South Gregories campgrounds (all located in Francois Peron National Park)
• Temple Gorge Campground (located in Kennedy Range National Park).

The move follows the successful transition to online bookings for more than 20 WA campgrounds in the last two years.

Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions Gascoyne District Parks and Visitor Services Coordinator Angela Johns said online bookings gives campers peace of mind.

“Holidaymakers can travel to these remote sites with confidence knowing they have a campsite waiting for them when they arrive, and they may cancel or change their bookings up to one day before arriving if plans change,” Ms Johns said.

“Because these parks are remote, having accurate booking information helps our rangers and campground hosts prepare for the number of visitors expected and provide the best possible experience.

“It also allows us to manage facilities and allocate resources appropriately during busy periods, ensuring a safe and enjoyable stay for everyone.”

Bookings and payment can be made up to 180 days in advance via the Park Stay WA booking system.

There are now 101 campgrounds and 2590 individual campsites across WA’s national parks and reserves available to be booked via Park Stay WA.
