Cooinda Retreats - RV and Camp Stay

9 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Victor Harbor, SA
PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS TO ENSURE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. Cooinda Retreats is pleased to offer our newest addition to nature based camping. Cooinda Retreats RV and Campground Stays provides an exclusive nature based immersive alternative to big park stays. Cooinda Retreats is a 100% Not for Profit organisation. Our Stays park, as with our Group Accommodation is our only source of funding to provide valuable services to disadvantaged and marginalised groups of our community. When you stay at Cooinda Retreats, you get a great experience and know you are supporting many worthwhile community programs. Please remember we are a Hipcamp bushland stays site, not a caravan park. Hipcamp provide very helpful Hipcamper information on their website if you want to understand the difference. Our sites are not massive, we know that, but they are really well cared for, and we offer a spectacular overall environment and level of service. The views are gorgeous. Please read individual site details, as not all are appropriate for big caravan rigs and massive towing vehicles. Situated at the foothills of stunning Victor Harbor, on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Cooinda Retreats RV Park and Campground comprises 10 dedicated sites, all with a unique aspect of bushland and ocean views. Cooinda Retreats is a multipurpose site, with group accommodation and RV/Camp Stays. There will be times that both services are in place, it makes the site uniquely wonderful. Please keep this in mind. You will need to be predominantly self contained, with new portable showers and toilets conveniently located throughout the park for those requiring as a back up. Best to bring your own toilet paper, as these facilities are an added bonus in a self contained stays environment, although we do maintain them to a clean standard.☺️ The Council of Victor Harbor provide a Dump Point approx 3 Kms from our stays park. Site 1 is both electric and dog fence friendly. Its a premium site. All other sites are Non Powered, all have potable water supplies available. You will need to take your rubbish away with you as we don't provide a rubbish service. Spacious lawned areas designated to your group are provided and your support in maintaining this is appreciated, as we don't allow floor mats on established lawn areas. Each site is specific to size requirements of your RV and camping outfit, please take note of the sizes in site details as not all sites are suitable for large vans, some are suitable for campers and tents only. Please check the details before booking. If you have a big van (20 foot or more, please only consider sites 1, 2b, 6, 8 and 9. If you book others be prepared for a bit of fun in the set up process. We offer an extensive Camp Kitchen, which will be shared amongst all guests. This truly is Victor Harbor's best kept secret. While only a few minutes from the township, you will feel the beauty of nature and the serenity of ocean views. Maintaining a balance of nature and activity means that we have a no noise policy after 10:30pm. Naturally we love reviews. We do however ask that you consider all of the above detail and that we are a 100% genuine Not for Profit Charity before smashing out something negative. Particularly something we have already mentioned above anyway. We find a simple private message can generally solve issues. We also have a resident Caretaker couple that take great pride in the park and will assist if appropriate. To summarise: - Our sites are different sizes and not all appropriate for big vans, please check the individual details. - Our sites are not open bush blocks, they are designated sizes, with plenty of open space areas. -We are a multipurpose site, we have a group accommodation service adjacent to the Stays Park. Sometimes they make some noise, but they also abide by the same curfew rules. Its really lovely to know that (predominantly children) are outside in nature for a bit. We think that is pretty special! - Our demountable toilets and showers are awesome, they are 100% a bonus as we ask our guest to be self contained where possible. Bring some loo paper just in case the person before you used in all up. - Water (potable) is available on all sites. - Please take all rubbish with you, its a condition of booking. - There are bugs and ants around us, its a bushland setting. We suggest you bring some stuff to manage this. -We have CCTV cameras discretely situated across our entire site, they are there to keep us all safe. We cant wait to see you, this is really something special!

Blombery Road Campground

11 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Arno Bay, SA
Blombery Road Campground is located just 3km north of the relaxing beach town of Arno Bay. The grounds are set on beautiful, undeveloped coastal land with direct beach access. It's basic, but it's natural, and that's how we like it. And our guests do too! We offer unpowered sites closer to the beach and powered sites set back from the beach on a slight rise with a view. Both options have access to our shared toilet and hot shower facilities. We also have two ensuite sites where you can enjoy your own private ensuite with a flushing toilet, hot water shower, and power. The land here is very sandy in parts, with low scrub in some areas, but access to most sites is still good for all types of vehicles. There is also plenty of space for larger vehicles to turn around, and to park boats etc. Children under 12 stay free, however, please ensure they are still booked in as we need to cap our total camp capacity at 20 people at any one time due to the delicate nature of the grounds. This also helps keep the campground quiet and relaxing for everyone.
