34km from Coffin Bay · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Boston, SA

Set in a peaceful valley surrounded by native bushland, this 10-acre property offers the perfect balance of serenity and adventure. Just a short 10-minute drive from Port Lincoln, it feels a world away—offering hipcampers the ideal mix of seclusion and convenience. The landscape features open clearings, gentle rises, and shaded pockets beneath scattered eucalypts—perfect for pitching a tent or parking your van. Birdlife is abundant, and on still mornings, the only sound is the breeze rustling through the trees. Whether you're stargazing by the fire or watching the light shift across the valley at dusk, this is a place to slow down and truly reconnect with nature. Steeped in local history, the property was the first to be established in the area and was once used for commercial beekeeping. The original house on the site has its own unique story—it was formerly the Post Office building from Maralinga, relocated here in the 1970s.

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!

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.

One of the best campground and places we stayed on in our 6 months around Australia Trip. The koala are so near and absolutely gorgeous. The communication with the owner are easy and clear. A lot of space and even big caravan will fit. The road is a little bit rough for the last 1km but shouldn't be a problem. Fly's can be annoying but all the rest is just amazing. Highly recommend this place .

The Dam View campsite was peaceful with beautiful views, especially at sunset. Luke was a lovely host and even shared some cool history about the property and he also gifted us some fresh eggs from his chickens! Plenty of room & a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature.

Mikkira Koala Sanctuary was an amazing experience, camping in close proximity to Koalas. Listening to them communicate to each other during the night. So special . The property itself is lovely , quite expansive . We wandered around looking for koalas , we must have seen at least 20 individuals during our stay , also enjoying the wild flowers , Large grass trees . Loads of kangaroos and some emu. If you have overseas visitors it’s a must visit . Thanks Helen for hosting us . A 5 star experience.

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.

If you’re looking for a caravan park experience, this isn’t the place to find it. Yes the roads a bit rough, and the toilets are basic - at least they flush! But if you’re after the most wonderful wildlife experience - this is where you’ll find it. Koalas everywhere you look. Wild free koalas doing koala stuff. Not to mention the roos, emus, birds and lizards. Huge camping areas, with fire pots scattered (bring your own firewood). This place is absolutely magical.

This place was amazing kangaroos and emus everywhere. But when it comes to koala's. You had to look for lump in the tree. Then there was another in next tree and the next tree they were everywhere. Up high down low and waddling across the ground. Well worth the 16 km of dirt road to get there. Recommend this place 100%... will return again to walk and explore the history on this wonderful sanctuary.

A picture perfect campsite so secluded and so incredibly beautiful. We didn’t see a koala however loved watching the kangaroos at play and the spectacular colours of the many varieties of birds. My favi part was being immersed in the stars. It was like standing in a fish bowl with stars covering you from your feet until as high as you can see. Spectacular experience. Thank you

Kerri was very understanding about the weather conditions cutting our stay by day. It is a great campsite among the sugar gums within a rural setting.

There are very few places in the world, you can be sitting by a fire, having a morning cuppa and watching a koala walk by, another in the tree behind you eating, 2 kangaroos boxing, while another 20plus watch and the sounds of the Lincoln Parrots and Galahs chattering away in the trees. A magical place!

Enjoyed the wildlife & being able to see the koalas up close. Peaceful camp site until the weather turned a bit pear shaped on us (gusty winds that’s rocked the camper really badly). Not a negative about the campsite - just unlucky with the weather. Would definitely go back if we were in that part of the country.
