The best glamping pods near Adelaide

Summertime (December through February) is Adelaide’s busiest period, when crowds descend on the city to enjoy its summer festivals. To avoid peak season, the best camping times are spring (September through November) and autumn (March through May), when the weather is typically warm and dry—ideal for hiking, road tripping, and outdoor activities. Springtime is also best for wildlife watching, when baby kangaroos are often seen roaming the bushlands of Kangaroo Island.

• Having your own vehicle is a big plus around Adelaide—public transport is limited in the surrounding areas.
• Fire bans are common during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations before lighting your campfire.
• Adelaide Central Market is one of the largest in the country and a great spot to pick up picnic supplies and fresh produce.
