Tucked away among the olive trees just 10 kilometres east of Margaret River town, Olive Hill Farm RV Campground is a peaceful base for anyone who wants to explore the region without the feel of a busy caravan park. The setting is one of its biggest drawcards, with spacious bays spread through the grove and enough room between sites to create a real sense of privacy. It feels relaxed, quiet and wonderfully rural, yet it is still close enough to town, wineries, breweries and beaches to make day trips easy.
This is a self-contained campground, so it suits travellers who are comfortable off-grid and come prepared. There are no toilets, showers, camp kitchen or powered sites, but there is an onsite dump point, bins, potable rainwater available to purchase for topping up tanks, and plenty of non-potable water. Silent run petrol generators are permitted between 8am and 5.30pm, which is helpful for topping up batteries on overcast days. The campground is suitable for rigs of all sizes, including large motorhomes, caravans, fifth wheelers and camper trailers, and there is room for trailer parking if needed.
One of the loveliest parts of staying here is the atmosphere. Guests can wander through the regeneration area down to the Margaret River at the foot of the property, and the farm setting brings with it birdlife, open skies and the occasional glimpse of livestock. Campfires are also permitted when regulations allow, provided they are off the ground and self-contained, which adds to the appeal on cooler evenings. It is easy to see why so many visitors describe the place as tranquil, spacious and a favourite stop in the South West.
Olive Hill Farm is also pet friendly and family friendly, but there are firm rules in place to keep the property running smoothly. Dogs must stay on a lead at all times and go with their owners if they leave the campground. All guests must bring their own chemical or composting toilet, and if showering outside the van, a shower tent or privacy cubicle is required. These conditions are part of the Shire licence, so it is worth paying attention to them before booking.
The location makes this a particularly handy base for exploring beyond Margaret River itself. From here, it is easy to head south towards Augusta or north towards Busselton and Dunsborough, while still enjoying a calm, nature-filled place to return to at the end of the day. If you want a campground with generous space, a rural outlook and practical facilities for self-contained travel, Olive Hill Farm remains a standout option in the region.
Current fees listed on the official site are $35 per night for two adults, with additional charges for children and infants, and rates may vary seasonally. There is also day parking available for $5 if you want to leave your van somewhere safe while you head off exploring. Bookings can be made online in advance, and that is a smart idea during busy periods as bays are limited. The campground also closes for winter during July, August and part of September, with minimum stays applying over Christmas-New Year and Easter.
