Experience Jarrahdale
Jarrahdale has been named an RV Friendly Town, becoming the 46th WA location to achieve the designation from the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia (CMCA).
The RV Friendly Town program aims to encourage travellers to stop, shop and enjoy different areas, boost local economies, promote partnerships between RV users and towns, and expand tourism infrastructure and services.
The new short stay area is near the corner of Jarrahdale Road and Kingsbury Drive and has a dumping point as well as space for about 30 self-contained RVs.
