Edgehill Farm Stays is located between Barossa and Clare Valley, 7km out of Riverton, and 1 hour north of Adelaide. We run a sheep and cropping farm which creates beautiful camping grounds at the foot of the hills, just below the Heysen Trail.
The campsites are located on the pasture paddocks of the farm with sheep roaming the area, so dogs on leashes at all times, and please pick up after them. With large distances between other campers, each site can cater for large groups, with no close neighbours. The sites are at least 2km away from busy roads, so absolute peace and privacy!
There's a beautiful push bike ride from Riverton to Clare Valley and all the wineries are along the way. Plenty of room at the property for kids to ride their push bikes.
Fantastic sunsets and sunrises from all sites, and at its best at the SUNSET BAA. Beautiful bird noises, including the kookaburras having a laugh.
There's a very very basic "long drop toilet" pit toilet located near the Gumtree paddock

Canoe Trees and the Marne River
Take a stroll along the river, looking for canoe trees. First Nations people of the lower Murray River formerly made large canoes from the bark of Red Gum trees. They used canoes to transport goods and move long distances along the river system.
The Marne River in southeast South Australia starts below Eden Valley at an elevation of 366m and ends at an elevation of 5.06m flowing into the River Murray.
The Marne River drops around 361m over its 69.5km length.

History of Eden Valley
The land of the Ngadjuri People, Traditional Owners of the Eden Valley region.
South Australia’s beautiful Eden Valley, known as the garden of grapes and gums, is one of Australia’s premier cool climate wine regions characterised by its rugged beauty and varied topography.
Eden Valley was named by the surveyors of the area after they found the word "Eden" carved into a tree. The beautiful rolling hills of the region create a natural diversity in mesoclimate determined by altitude, aspect and slope, which also naturally impacts the soil type. It is therefore critical to match the correct grape variety and site. Overall, the region is characterised by cooler conditions than its famous neighbour, the Barossa Valley, and as such the final stages of ripening and harvesting take place in cooler temperatures.
Eden Valley wines are distinctive in their character, displaying wonderful aromatics, elegance, complexity and finesse.
Eden Valley shares a proud German heritage with it's neighbour the Barossa Valley, collectively known as the Barossa region. English and German immigrants settled here in the early to mid-19th century, establishing the township in the 1860s.
With a wine-making history dating back to 1847, Eden Valley is home to some of the world’s oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards.
We are a family of 5 with 3 children who love to explore and learn about the history of the places we visit. So, we hope you enjoy this little snippet!
CFS Fire Ban 2024 starts NOVEMBER 15th 2024 and ends APRIL 30th 2025 no campfires between these dates. BBQs and other cooking methods information can be found here https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/restrictions/what-can-i-do-what-cant-i-do/

We love camping here. Close to the city but feels like a million miles away. Beautiful hosts and big sites far enough away from each other that you don’t notice anyone else around you. Clean long drop toilets too.

It was so peaceful and beautiful. Trish was super helpful on arrival and guided us to our site. Not another person around for miles. Stunning scenery and plenty of wildlife around for the kids to enjoy. It was well setup with a fire pit and long drop toilet only a short walk away. There was also a large area nearby set up with sporting equipment, football posts, golf equipment, frisbee etc. Would definitely recommend staying here!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better campsite host! From the moment we arrived, Darren was incredibly responsive, accommodating and welcoming, making us feel comfortable and right at home.
He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and gave us some fantastic recommendations that really helped us make the most of our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and Darren’s friendly, helpful nature made the whole experience even better.
We would absolutely recommend staying here and would happily come back again. A genuinely wonderful host who went above and beyond! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The site is as picturesque as the photos suggest, it's quiet and peaceful, plenty of room for the kids to run around and the property owners were salt-of-the-earth good people!
We've stayed at few placed better than this one.
Highly recommend.

This place was just wonderful! We stayed in Gumtree Paddock and it was so quiet, accessible to 2WD and a long drop toilet with a fantastic view. The hosts are absolutely lovely, the farm gorgeous and easy to find. Thoroughly recommended

Absolutely stunning views from Darren’s campsites. Extremely relaxing we enjoyed watching the sun go down over the sea. Darren was lovely and checked in on us a couple of times to make sure our stay was going well. Only a short drive from all the nearby wineries which was an added bonus!

Decided on an overnight weekend hike along the Lavender Federation Trail and wanted a nice spot to camp. This was that nice spot; except it wasn't nice, it was incredible. Such a stunning spot and the facilities for a bush camp were amazing. Thank you for having me

Wonderful time on the Wally site in our caravans. Views are amazing and it was so peaceful. A little on the pricey side but the good times outweighed that. Easy booking and great communication.

Georgie is a fantastic host, so friendly and accommodating. The camp ground was level and peaceful. Natural camp firepit, and bonus picnic table was very convenient. Feeding the farm animals (sheep and a lama) was a highlight, being woken up by roosters and kookaburras added to the experience.

Lovely hills location, welcoming hosts, great weather, so no complaints at all. Notes on campsite: mostly sloped main area with a flat section for trailer., did present a few challenges selling up chairs & table etc. View of adjacent public road from camp but passing traffic is minimal. Fire pit supplied is excellent, with some wood offered on arrival. All in all worth the stop, close to some easy to medium (in winter) grade 4WD access roads plus the usual hills towns to make the visit worthwhile.

It has a great view, plenty of space to kick around or throw a frisbee. The cellar door staff are lovely and the pizza I highly recommend. Will definitely go back to this gem of a spot again.

Camping at Pymbroke was excellent.
A stunning spot.
Clean and flat campsites. Nicely shaded.
Drop toilet.
Managed to get in with a HiAce camper van. 2wd accessible if it's dry. Might be a bit trickier if it's wet.
We're already planning our next trip.
