10 Top-Rated Campgrounds in South Australia

May 1, 2023 Jacquiline Darosa

Whether you're a culture vulture or nature lover, South Australia offers great adventures. Get a taste of the Outback with a hike through the Flinders Ranges, sample the amazing wines of Barossa or come face to face with koalas and sea lions on Kangaroo Island. The capital city of Adelaide showcases Aboriginal antiquities at the South Australian Museum and bustles day and night with events. Rent a car to cover the most ground, as the province is four times the size of the United Kingdom.

Pine Country Caravan Park

PEACEFUL

Reviewed By CaseyPerth

Lovely Caravan Park with a country feel. Not far from town or Blue Lake. Stayed in a cosy one bedroom cabin with ok facilities, although bathroom could do with an update. Window in lounge needs a day/night blind for privacy. Pricing ok. Would stay again.

Untidy and not clean Unit and Park

Reviewed By Jacinta B

We stayed in a cabin in the park. The couch was so dirty the arm rests were black and it sunk when you sat in it, hence we only sat in it once. The fire alarm wasn't connected to the ceiling in the kitchen area. The oven was in a cavity that was very in need of attention. The outside was covered in cobwebs, they need to sweep the outside of the cabins to clean away the cob webs. When you pay good money you expect to have a very clean cabin.

Once again a Pleasure

Reviewed By Candy-Will S

This time we didn't have the Van and were on a group trip so booked 3 x 2 bedroom cabins. I and our whole group have to commend the park on such beautiful accommodation. Our guests with us were from Canada and even they commented on how well appointed the cabins were and how they don't even have anything like this back in Canada. Must say a special thanks to the Reception staff as they were Super Friendly and made us feel very welcome. PS the Lemon water dispenser was a fantastic idea after a long hot drive.

Very disappointing Discovery Park, no internet or tv reception. Sites are very small and we were charged peak rate. When I asked the difference between peak and off peak the reception staff said don’t know we charge the peak rate whenever we are busy. Doubt I would be back

We stayed just one night in an unpowered area of the camp , more room here than other parks in town although a little further out but not too far Water is precious out in Coober so you can’t hook up to the water but you can fill up a 20 litre container for $1 which is cheap Showers are on a 5 minute timer and then 3 minutes break , so to have to be organised there but very reasonable Would stay there again , fenced off , staff friendly IGA in town reasonable prices for restocking You get 10c discount off your fuel as well from the camp , very handy !

Excellent Park & Loved the Superior Studio Cabin

Reviewed By Sandra S

We always stay in this Park when we have our van in tow, but this time without it, we chose a cabin for an overnight stay. It was so well equipped, with a very comfortable bed, and we were blown away with what was revealed when we opened what we thought were wardrobe doors where we found a trough, washing machine and dryer, how good was that! Reception staff are always very friendly and obviously enjoy their job and that is why we always return when passing this way!

Perfect walking distance from Fino and Seppeltsfield

We booked this accommodation as it was walking distance from Fino. We booked a tasting and lunch and we know driving was not an option. The cabins were self contained, quaint, comfy and have all the mod cons including wifi, Netflix and parking. The 2 alpacas, the pony and the sheep were a delight, well behaved.

great location and service, close to many things of interest,

Reviewed By soniam15

Booking was very very helpful after having all sorts of online problems and it said very limited space available. Lady was cheerful....yes we can help you. Great service ....nice little supply of essentials on the shelf. Parking was a bit tight in spots but we had a 4 wheeler. Facilities were SPOTLESS, CLEAN AND WELL SERVICED. Location was within coffee shops and bakeries and pub....bit of a walk but easy to do. Great late night shopping centre near by with car, close to Marion shops, movie theatre, restaurants and pubs. Very nice beach views and sunsets. Just need to keep eyes out for young children who seemed to be unsupervised.

We are open for business and working hard to ensure that our already sparkling amenities are even safer for you. We are disinfecting touch points multiple times per day. We have instigated contactless check in for those who wish to use it. We allow self isolation in cabins and powered sites but your van must be fully self contained. Give us a call for any queries - you will find us online - just google our name.

Great little town and very good park

Reviewed By Trevor S

Waikerie is a great little town. It has a small shopping centre with a big Woolworths together with another good local independent supermarket. The butchers' shop was excellent with a very good range of meat, vegetables and other products. The small number of shops caters for the needs of most people. The caravan park was excellent. The toilets and showers were some of the best and cleanest that we have seen. There was a choice of gravel, grass or concrete pads to park our van and the park is dog friendly. The park was very quiet. The park backs onto the Murray River. The local council has done a great job, constructing a walking track along the river for about 1km. It features BBQs, toilets, seats and the lawns are very attractive. It is a highly desirable area to visit. At $48.00 per night for a powered site, I thought that this was a little overpriced. Do yourself a favour and spend a night or two here,.
