Peak Charles National Park is a national park in Western Australia (Australia), 507 kilometres (315 mi) east of Perth and 100 km (62 mi) north west of Esperance.
The park is named for one of the main features, Peak Charles, which is an ancient granite peak with an elevation of 651 m (2,136 ft) that dominates the park along with its neighbour Peak Eleanora. Both afford excellent view over the park which is primarily composed of dry sand plain heaths and salt lake systems.
No entry fee applies to enter the park but there are few facilities available to tourists. A car park, campground and toilets are available.

“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
