RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort

Mid way up the Western Australia coast is the RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort within the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, home to one of the world’s best-known dolphin encounters.

Kick back and watch waves crash at your beachfront powered campsite or cabin, within walking distance to resort-style comforts. Or choose a large powered campsite with a firm surface close to the water and amenities in a central location.

Unpowered tent and camper sites and ensuite sites round out the extensive camping options.

CAMPING AT RAC MONKEY MIA DOLPHIN RESORT

You’ll find a volley-ball and tennis courts and barbecue facilities at this family camping and holiday resort. Enjoy free access to a large pool precinct with a kids wading pool or explore the bay with a snorkel or kayak for a small hire fee.

Pets are welcome on-site in the caravan and camping areas. Fishing is permitted on the nearby pier, away from the dolphin experiences.

Then, to break or end an active day, freshen up he Monkey Bar and the Boughshed restaurant. Enjoy quality down time in the recreation room, upload the day’s play via WiFi or catch up with likeminded travellers at the camp kitchen.
