Honeymoon Pool

Honeymoon Pool in the Wellington National Park is one of the best-known swimming and camping spots in Western Australia, having repeatedly been voted amongst Australia’s finest.

Situated a couple of hours south of Perth, Honeymoon Pool makes a great weekend or midweek getaway. Twenty shady campsites are nestled amongst the weeping peppermint trees on the banks of the Collie River below Wellington Dam. A large deck extending out over the river offers good views, with steps providing easy access to the water.

Swimming and canoeing are popular. The water temperature can be quite cold but that doesn’t seem to stop most people from enjoying a good refreshing swim. The stretch of river flowing past the campsite is perfect for kayaking and if you want a bit more of a thrill, there are several sections of rapids further upstream.

Honeymoon Pool is extremely popular and gets quite busy during school holidays and long weekends. If you are planning to stay at the campground, visit Explore Parks WA’s online system to book and pay for your site before you leave home.
