Flaxmill Caravan Park, Boyup Brook, Heritage caravan park in Boyup Brook, Australia
Flaxmill Caravan Park sits where the Blackwood River meets Boyup Brook and offers accommodation with 6 ensuite sites and 25 powered locations. Facilities include a camp kitchen, free sewage dump points, undercover storage, laundry facilities, and showers.
This site operated as Australia's only flax mill from 1939 to 1965, retaining original structural elements from that industrial period. The mill supported the nation's wartime production needs during World War II.
The caravan park office displays scale models created by Robert Jamieson depicting how the mill operated and the railway network that once served the region. These models help visitors imagine the working life of the area in earlier times.
The park is most accessible during warmer months when weather is most stable and outdoor activities are most enjoyable. Check-in starts at 2 PM and check-out is at 10 AM, giving you time to explore the nearby walking trails and local attractions.
The grounds connect with the Bicentennial Walk Trail and Bridle Trail, leading visitors to the striking Skeleton Bridge nearby. A Music Park with outdoor exercise equipment sits close by, combining historical experience with modern recreational facilities.
