Why Start in Exmouth?
Exmouth is the gateway to Ningaloo Reef, one of the few places on Earth where you can swim with whale sharks and snorkel a World Heritage reef straight off the beach. Perched at the tip of the North West Cape, it puts Turquoise Bay, Cape Range National Park and the Coral Coast right on your doorstep — a bucket-list starting point for a Western Australia campervan adventure.

Practical Info for Exmouth
Pickup & Depot Info
Exmouth has limited local depots, so most travellers pick up their campervan in Perth and drive up the Coral Coast (about 1,250km / 13 hours), or fly into Learmonth Airport (LEA), roughly 35km south of town. If you are short on time, look for one-way hire from Perth to Exmouth, or a relocation deal heading north. Book well ahead — vehicle supply this far north is tighter than in the capital cities.
Driving Tips
The drive up from Perth is long and remote — fuel up at every town, carry extra drinking water, and avoid driving at dawn, dusk or night when kangaroos, emus, cattle and road trains are most active. The Minilya-Exmouth Road is sealed and well maintained. Inside Cape Range National Park some tracks are gravel, so check your rental agreement for unsealed-road restrictions before you go off the bitumen.
Caravan Parks & Campgrounds
Exmouth is well set up for campervans: RAC Exmouth Cape Holiday Park, Exmouth Escape Resort and Ningaloo Caravan & Holiday Resort all offer powered sites close to town. For a wilder experience, Cape Range National Park has a string of coastal campgrounds (Osprey Bay, Ned's Camp, Yardie Creek) right on the reef — these are unpowered and must be booked in advance through WA Parks, especially in peak season.

Explore Exmouth tours on Dundee AdventureBest Time to Travel
The best time to visit Exmouth is the dry season, April to October, with warm sunny days (25–30°C) and mild nights ideal for camping. Whale sharks arrive on Ningaloo Reef from mid-March to around August, and humpback whales pass by from June to November. Summer (December–February) is very hot (often 35–40°C) and falls within the cyclone season, so many travellers plan around the cooler, calmer winter months.
How Much Does Campervan Hire Cost in Exmouth?
Budget campervans from $50/day (off-peak). Mid-range 4-berth $100–$170/day. Motorhomes $130–$260/day. Most vans are supplied from Perth, so factor a one-way relocation fee of roughly $150–$500. Campground costs: $30–$55/night powered in town, ~$11–$15/night unpowered in Cape Range National Park. Fuel: ~$1.80–$2.00/L this far north — budget generously for the long Coral Coast drive.
Prices are shown in AUD (A$) — the currency of the country where the campervan is hired — and are indicative, varying by season, vehicle type, and rental duration. Compare live prices above for the most accurate rates.
