Lovely rural setting amongst established trees with a great view. Peaceful and quite, we had the place to ourselves. The best portaloo and shower set up I have seen and a thoughtful addition for campers who aren't self sufficient or don't want to poo in the van loo. Friendly and helpful hosts, we are lucky Hipcampers to have hosts like these!

Weekend Trip to Parrara View

Absolutely worthwhile making the effort to get to Parrara View. We stayed on the Sugar Gums site. What a fabulous location in a grassy field of aged Sugar Gum trees. Excellent, clean (incredibly clean) amenities, cool little fire pits, flat campsite. Was our favourite ever Hipcamp so thoroughly recommended. Our host was excellent and really informative about their area and happy to have a chat. Short drives to both Port Lincoln and Coffin Bay. Loved our stay at Parrara View.

We loved our stay at Tiatukia campsite by the sea, the views were sensational. We had amazing sunrises over the ocean. It was a short drive into Port Lincoln. Debbie gave us clear instructions and no question was a problem. It was nice to have a good chat to Ashley and get to know a bit about the farm. Highly recommend this property.

2 nights at Red Gum Park

We wanted a spot close to Coffin Bay that offered a quiet respite in the evening. This was perfect. Settle in for a Sundowner next to a blazing fire ( depending on Fire Ban season). Sarah happily provides fire wood for the two evenings we spent there. Quiet and secluded. No issues at all with access, but approach the driveway from the west i.e. from the Streaky Bay side.

Amazing spot. Booked Lincoln for a week and was amazed at the location. Kerri is awesome and offers any help (like when your water pump suddenly stops working & you have battery issues also) We will be back and pushing for the whole family to join in.

1 night at Tiatukia Farm Campsite by the Sea

We enjoyed our overnight stay at Tiatukia. The views are spectacular. There was lots of open space and strategically placed stacks of hay bales providing both protection from the wind and privacy from the other sites. We had a toasty little campfire in the evening. The hosts are delightful and provided clear directions to the campsite and were very responsive with all communications.

We had a great 4 nights Tiatukia, the views were awesome, the site was quiet and well located for exploring Port Lincoln and surrounds. Debbie was amazing to deal with, we were able to come in a night early with very little notice, it’s the small things that make you feel very welcome.

Weekend Trip to Parrara View

Site: this was a beautiful camp-site with stunning views of the ocean and surrounding farm land. We stayed at the site Sugar Gum which was very spacious and facing the farmlands where we were able to see cows, sheep and alpacas. The campground is close to town as well. The toilets and showers were very well maintained and equipped. There was also a basin to wash utensils. Definitely recommend staying here. Caution: we travelled in April and our site was extremely windy as it is open from most sides. Make sure to pitch your tent in a safe spot (we didn't, and ended up breaking our tent). But other than that, it's a great place to stay :)

Well, after staying our original two nights, we loved this place so much that we stayed for another two nights! So glad we did. This place is just the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the view and the fabulous hosts, Debbie and Ash, are wonderful. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. Thank you again Debbie and Ash for four great nights. We will miss this place !!

What an absolutely fabulous stay near Port Lincoln. We have stayed at many Hipcamps and without a doubt, our stay at Debbie and Ashley's property was simply the best! The views to Boston Bay and the coast from any of the 5 sites are stunning. The sites are very peaceful and quiet and private. We experienced the most incredible moon and sunrises we have seen on our travels from here. The bales of hay as windbreaks and privacy screens are ingenious. Debbie and Ashley are brilliant, lovely attentive hosts and we really looked forward to our chats with them, and of course, meeting Tex! So easy to get into Lincoln and surrounds. Definitely come and experience this amazing stay. Thank you so much Debbie and Ashley!

We loved the place. Annette is a very good host. The view from the campsite is lovely. you can use a kitchen, toilet and shower and you are amongst very nice animals, 2 friendly dogs, cats, some horses and a lot of goose and hens.

Amazing area to camp, amazing views. Very relaxing and peaceful at night. Better than a caravan park. Kerri-Ann a lovely host. Will definitely come back. If you like living among tree with ocean, hills and vineyard views you will love it. Just wish we could have had a fire in the supplied open pit fire (couldn’t due to fire ban season). About 11 minutes from Port Lincoln. Winery next door has great wines also which is a bonus. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Paul and Alma 👍🍷
