1 night at Catninga Camps & Accommodation

Quiet, serene area among old gum trees. Loved the idea of the tree showers, but a bit too cold to try at the moment 😁

Weekend Trip to Catninga Camps & Accommodation

Camp 4 was lovely, nice little flat spot down by the toilet block to set up swags/tents. Heather was very approachable and helpful and it was a nice and private camp-site, just how we like it. Will definitely stay again, hopefully when the weather is better!

Weekend Trip to Catninga Camps & Accommodation

Our 2nd stay at Catninga. Campsite 2 had a great view of the Gulf, Port Augusta’s lights and the ranges behind us. Beautiful sunsets. The Peter Good Gully walk is a fabulous hike , with phenomenal views!! Very friendly hosts. We’ll be back.

Weekend Trip to Chestnut Grove

Amazing views of the hills and its greenery, starry night skies as had no light pollution, lovely host! The only recommendation would be a proper cover for the toilet.

1 night at Catninga Camps & Accommodation

A great campsite with lovely views and so peaceful. Road in a bit rough but I just took it slowly . I was the only one there and felt safe. Brian was very knowledgeable and helpful. Heather responsive in messaging - important as I only booked that morning. Much better than staying in Port Augusta.

Weekend Trip to Rawnsley Park Station

Amazing stay in the bush camping - great views and lots of space. Facilities were great and we will be back.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Rocks Farmstay

We had a truly amazing stay at Steve's camp. He was on hand to welcome us and show us to the site. This spot is beautiful and quiet, with amazing amenities (toilet and camp kitchen). Steve was extra accommodating when we asked to change our original booking dates due to bad weather. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Monarto South Park

One of my favourite camping spots for sure! Great location, flushing toilet, and really cute cabin. No other camp sites around so it’s very quiet and peaceful.

3 nights at Rawnsley Park Station

We loved our time at Rawnsley Park Station! Beautiful views, plenty of bush camping sites to choose from if you’d like to be closer to amenities or away from other people. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Catninga Camps & Accommodation

We loved camping here. It was so beautiful and peaceful - most of our stay it was just us, the cattle and the kangaroos.. Heather was a fantastic host. We definitely recommend this magical spot!

2 nights at Stockyard Plains, The Riverland

A lovely accommodating host, the serenity is beautiful. Would stay there again.

Weekend Trip to The Scrub Campsite - Inman Valley

It's always awesome in God's Country Rain, hail or shine it's beautiful, and Marc provides great amenities 🙂

3 nights at Coorong Island Retreat

This place was beautiful! Quiet, secluded and peaceful. Our family had a great time, sitting by the fire enjoying the kids do some fishing. The kangaroos made a brief appearance and we were also greeted by some livestock. A great place to be off grid for a couple of days!

Emu Bay Hideaway, Kangaroo Island

15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents400 acres · Emu Bay, SA

Welcome to your dream destination!! We have two different locations available in Kangaroo Island with some options of sites in each. FIRST LOCATION: EMU BAY HIDEAWAY-30 hectares of peace, mainly vegetated with Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaved Mallee (Eucalyptus cneorifolia, a nationally-protected ecological community). Kangaroos and wallabies are in abundance. It has a wonderful feeling of remoteness and seclusion yet is so close to iconic Emu Bay. Those with 4WD may choose sites overlooking Shoal Bay towards Kingscote. Alternatively, you may set up camp anywhere on the property. There is even one under-cover position with a concrete floor for those concerned about the weather. There are no amenities so guests need to be 100% self-sufficient (including BYO drinking water and toilet) and leave no trace. It is a wild block and only five minutes from the iconic Emu Bay, where the white sandy beach runs for 4kms, most of which is backed by 10 to 20-meter-high dunes. It is one of the best beaches on the island with crystal-clear water. SECOND LOCATION: Farm Stay about 15 km from Emu Bay and 20km from the main town of Kingscote. This is an operating small sheep farm of over 100ha. For security reasons the exact location is not advertised, but will be disclosed upon arrival on Kangaroo Island. There are several beautiful sites. This location is fairly central to most KI visitor attractions. It is a secure place to set up camp and have peace of mind that your belongings will be safe while you are away from the site. The host takes care to situate sites to give campers the feeling of exclusiveness. NOTES; Check with me before lighting a campfire - this depends on the season and risk. Dogs are permitted if well controlled (register visiting dogs with local council). IMPORTANT: As I have very limited access to the Internet, It is preferred that if you have questions, you can text or call me, Rosalie, on 0490485123. Please note - all bookings MUST still go through the Hipcamp system, no exceptions. Kangaroo Island is serviced by regular ferry - check SeaLink for details. As the service requires advance bookings, please secure your passage to the island before booking your site. Thank you.

Kuitpo Winter Wetlands Sanctuary

7 sites · RVs2 acres · Kuitpo, SA

Hello! We would love to share the Winter Wetlands Sanctuary in Kuitpo with you. The little sanctuary has been specifically designed to accommodate Campervans and Self-driven motorhomes WITH ON-BOARD TOILETTING & GREY WATER TANK. Please understand that our business model licence and insurance policy has stringent conditions attached to it. *WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ACCEPT SELF-DRIVEN CAMPERVANS/MOTORHOMES THAT ARE 7.5m OR LESS IN LENGTH* They must be equipped with their own toilet facilities and grey water reservoir due to governmental zoning regulations. Do NOT book unless you have your own toileting amenities and grey water tank. No human waste policy applies. If you have to cancel your booking because you do not meet these requirements, you will NOT be refunded. It is out of our hands. Our Insurance policy disallows the following:- *NO CARAVANS, TRAILERS, OR TENTS.* *NO CHILDREN* *NO PETS* Now that THAT is all said: Forest Gate B&B has been receiving guests on the property for nearly 40 years and the Winter Wetlands is a small private sanctuary that we share with our guests who enjoy both privacy and open air. We run a small mixed farm in the Adelaide Hills, and over the past 10 years, have been developing this little safe haven in the Southern corner of our property. We are trying to encourage the proliferation of local wildlife that everyone can enjoy both now and in the future. The Winter Wetlands is NOT a 'caravan park'. It is a small, private, sanctuary, which is at it's best in the cold wet Winter months when the pond/ dam comes to life. Guests can kick back around the campfire overlooking the dam, as they listen to the crickets and frogs in the evenings. There is a resident Western Grey kangaroo, many possums (both ring-tail and brush-tail), native burrowing rats, koalas and an occasional wandering echidna (if you are lucky enough to see one). There's a plethora of birdlife, including favourites such as blue wrens, fairy wrens, and a resident family of white-winged choughs. The Sanctuary caters for a maximum of seven bookings (2 guests per booking) at any one time. Usually, you will have the Sanctuary all to yourselves. There are many little picnic spots. We request that guests leave no sign of visitation, and take all waste with them. CAMPERVAN SITES: As stated previously, regulations only allow the following: *SELF-DRIVEN CAMPERVANS OR MOTORHOMES THAT ARE 7.5m OR LESS IN LENGTH* *NO CARAVANS, TRAILERS, OR TENTS.* We have 7 independent, unpowered, sites that are suited for Class A or B campervans or motorhomes ONLY. ACCESS: There is easy, main road access into the 'Winter Wetlands Sanctuary' from Brookman road. GPS: -35.21694, 138.6970. There is a clearly marked, one-way, loose stone road that leads to all available sites. Look for the reflectors on the big gum trees on Brookman Rd, and the gate with the notice of Conditions of Entry denoting the way in. COMMUNAL AREAS: The communal shelter shed, picnic areas, and two communal camp fires offer a variety of places to relax and watch the local birds enjoy the area. NEARBY FEATURES include: - Directly across the road from the Heysen Trail in the beautiful Kuitpo Forest. - 3-4 minutes to exceptional SA wineries including K1 (4 mins down the road), and Perrini (in the nearby township of Meadows) . - Near Echunga Goldfields (Jupiter creek) (20 km away), and Prospect Hill (4 km away) for fossicking. - Kuipto Forest TreeClimb is only 2 km up the road and has thousands of visitors per annum. - Easy access to tourist townships of McLaren Vale (15 mins), Hahndorf (25 mins), Mt Barker (25 mins) and Willunga, which is well known for its Saturday Morning Market (15 mins). - Facilities such as Pharmacy, Medical clinic, Petrol Station, Hotel, and Bakery can be found in Meadows, only 5 mins away. The Winter Wetlands are fully fenced ensuring privacy. In the interest of the wellbeing of local wild life, nearby stock, and neighbours, we ask that you do not play loud music at night. WASTE: NO HUMAN WASTE. Guests staying in the Winter Wetlands must have self contained toilet facilities and grey water tank. There is a Waste Dump Point in Meadows (6 km away) near the footy oval (Brooks street rec. ground, GPS: -35.180278, 138.76). SIZE RESTRICTIONS: Due to the nature of the vegetation in the Winter Wetlands, and manoeuvrability of vehicles, size restrictions apply. Sites will suit campervans (7.5 m or less), but will NOT be suitable for caravans. Caravans, trailers and tents are NOT permitted. UNSUITABLE for CHILDREN and PETS: Forest Gate is a working farm. There are regularly livestock in the paddocks adjacent to the Winter Wetlands. There is also an open dam and a communal fireplace in the Winter Wetlands. Due to our insurance policy, we can not allow children or pets. Therefore, stays in the Winter Wetlands are only available to adults.
