Steve has a couple of really nice camp spots, sheltered in the valley from the winds and sun if required. I would recommend Site 2 for a good mix of shade but gets enough sun to charge the caravan battery up with the extra portable solar panel. It was a good central location for us to visit Monarto Safari Park and have a day out in Adelaide. The Clarendon Valley is picturesque location with plenty of wineries to visit.
Steve was a great host who came to visit us a welcome us to his Hipcamp. He has a wealth of knowledge for things to do and see in a greater part of SA. I would highly recommend staying here.

A quick few days away in the van to relax and do absolutely nothing before heading back to work on Monday.
Back at Carolyn’s Farm for a couple of nights away — such a lovely spot and so easy to set up 🌿🚐

We loved having a van at Steven’s place. Flat, quiet and beautiful trees surrounding. It was a bit tight getting in and out but enough room to manoeuvre once on the flat. Easy walk to town, and short drive to plenty of attractions in the area. Steven was a great help with local knowledge and tips on places to visit.
Would recommend.

Had an excellent time at this spot, tucked away on a nicely grassed area. Steve was more than welcoming. There was a zipline and swings for the kids to play and there are also some resident koala’s you can spot in the trees. We would definitely stay again if we head to South Australia again!

Steve Was a wonderful host land was beautiful and shady plenty of room. Bit tricky to get into but if you follow Steve’s instructions which were great you will be fine. Close enough to Adelaide to enjoy the city but still far enough away to be in piece and quiet

We had a lovely stay at Toondilla 1. Beautiful spot, a wonderful nature getaway. The instructions were very helpful and accurate, the 2 sites are well maintained and far enough apart to ensure peace and privacy. There was plenty of level space for the set up of our camper trailer and annexe. Steve was a very welcoming host and provided great suggestions for exploring the surrounding area. We walked to the bakery for a coffee and pastry each day and enjoyed a meal from the hotel one evening. Would definitely recommend as a lovely camping spot and keen for another visit in the future.

A lovely peaceful spot.
Steven owner was very helpful & responsive to text messages.
A narrow and little steep descent to the site but rewarded when you get down there, perfectly ok if you are a competent driver.

This spot is a lovely hidden gem. Surrounded by lush green trees and hillside for privacy, I would highly recommend. We even had a little visitor (koala) the first night. The only thing I would say is we found it very hard (with our 22.6ft off road van), to get out, due to a overhanging gum tree at the exit. It was mm from hitting. Other than that, highly recommend.

We had a great time with our dog & kids. Entry was a bit tricky with the longer van (21ft) but once we were in it was lovely. Steven popped over to say hi and told us to where to look for koalas & possums.
