West of Ceduna lies South Australia’s most remote and deserted stretch of coastline. Venture off-road into the Nullarbor Wilderness Protection Area, where you can explore dramatic karst caves, hike along windswept coastal cliffs, and spot southern right whales along the shore. Bonus: self-sufficient motorhomes and campervans can enjoy free camping throughout the park.
South Australia’s inland desert lies just north of Ceduna in Yumbarra Conservation Park, a vast expanse of arid, rocky plains that give way to sweeping sand dunes and desert lakes. If you’re looking for an outback camping experience, this is it—head to the 4WD-only campground at Goog's Lake and pitch your tent beneath the desert stars.
South of Ceduna, the wild beaches and rugged headlands of the Eyre Peninsula are road trip gold. Drive your campervan down to the rustic campgrounds of Lincoln National Park and Coffin Bay National Park (tip: check accessibility first, as many require a 4WD), where spectacular coastal hikes and wildlife-watching opportunities await. Or head to seaside towns like Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, and Tumby Bay, where you’ll find sandy beaches and plenty of camping options.
Ceduna has year-round appeal, whether you’re taking a summer road trip along the Eyre Peninsula, catching the best waves at Cactus Beach in the fall, or winter whale-watching along the Great Australian Bight. Or perhaps you want to join the crowds for the town’s biggest event, the annual Oysterfest, held each October.
