Perfect location to base yourself to explore the beaches and beautiful wineries/ breweries. Views from the property are stunning. We had pretty bad weather and still managed to enjoy walks around the property to see the wild life, hit up the local distillery and a drive down Myponga beach road which the owners suggested ( this has to be one of the most beautiful drives in all of SA and should not be missed!!) that surrounds this property. Stunning at sunset.
Still a work in progress for the guys here but the effort that Heath and family are putting in, Im sure this place will be fantastic!!

We’ve had the most lovely three-night reset, only a couple of hours from Adelaide, and it truly feels like we’ve discovered a hidden gem.
The property is fully fenced and gated, which meant our dog Kelly could be off-leash after a full perimeter inspection (of course). She was absolutely in her element. It’s incredibly dog-friendly and completely private, set on a peaceful lagoon fed by the Murray.
Access was easy in a 2WD, although we brought our 4WD towing our OPUS camper. Our site was shaded by a majestic gum tree right on the water’s edge – the kind of spot you don’t want to leave.
The birdlife is abundant – especially at dusk and dawn. Some might call it raucous, but we loved every minute of it. It added to the magic of the place.
The lagoon was safe for swimming and paddleboarding, and there are plenty of fish to be caught straight off the jetty. The host was truly delightful – welcoming us upon arrival, helpful with insights of the lcoal area and clearly proud of what they’ve created.
We take the opportunity to visit Walker Flat and Swan Reach for a swim at the beach and a picnic under the shade, watching the ski boats and jet skis go by. Picking up some more ice and a newspaper for our GNTs.
We were fully self-contained and made sure to pick up after Kelly – it was lovely to see that most other guests clearly do the same. It makes such a difference in a place like this.
Kelly was happy. We are chuffed. We’ll absolutely be back.

Great option to get away locally, but still able to take the dog with us and be close enough to home to get back for work quickly the next day. Great sunset and stars are epic also on a clear night. Great hosts all-round!

Allan was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The property has several flat spots to choose from. An incredible view of the ocean, beautiful sunsets and stargazing. It’s quiet and simple but has all you could need for a relaxing getaway. The koala and kangaroo walks are a lovely way to spend some time and feeding the donkeys and horses was a bonus. Would recommend and definitely return. We were off power as we’re self contained but there are provisions for power, water and a dump point. A cute sand playground for the kids too.

Beautifully kept grounds ~ you can see the work that is put into it to keep the grass so green and the amenities spotless.
Nicest laundry/toilets we have seen on our trip and recommend the walk down to the water’s edge.
Highly recommend but be aware that it is on a busy road so noise at the cliff top sites is dependant on the wind

Beautiful riverside spot in the Riverland. We camped right by the river and it was incredibly peaceful — waking up to the water and birdlife was the highlight. Plenty of space, very quiet, and felt nicely secluded without being hard to access.
Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend if you’re after a relaxed, nature-filled Riverland escape 🌿

When we (eight of us) arrived at Tipsy Hill, we stopped at the homestead, to let the host, Susan, know of our arrival. We were met with a warm and friendly welcome, after which we headed straight down to the camping grounds.
One thing I didn’t appreciate from the photos, was the size of the river lagoon - far bigger than we were expecting! Needless to say, we were glad to have brought our kayaks (though, there a few boats provided, on grounds).
However, where this spot really shines, is its ability to securely hold pets. We brought along two retrievers, and not once did we experience any issues with escapes, injuries, etc. in short, you can rest assured at Tipsy Hill, knowing your pets are free to roam off-lead - this was huge, for me. Watching them play in the water and enjoy the place to themselves was hugely rewarding.
In short, I absolutely recommend Tipsy Hill to anyone who wants a pain free, drive-in camping experience. We used to hunt up and down the river for free camping spots - with places like this available, why go hunting for spots, at all?

We loved our stay at Koala Coast Retreat Farm, camping on an unpowered hilltop site with beautiful views. We had access to clean water, a shower, a toilet, and a dump point if needed. The highlight was our interactions with the horses and donkeys. Heath was also a very friendly and helpful host.

We really enjoyed our stay at Koala Coast Retreat. Heath (and Possum!) were wonderful hosts, taking the time to show us around and helping us get our van positioned just right. The views across the coast are fantastic.
There’s a great sitting area outside the games room where campers naturally came together for happy hour chats before dinner, which created a really friendly atmosphere. There are several walks to choose from, including one that takes you to the donkeys and horse — feeding them carrots provided by Heath on arrival was a lovely touch.
The retreat is conveniently close to Myponga and Normanville, where you can find all the shops you need. One of our favourite outings was a beach walk followed by a stop at the microbrewery on the way back.
We loved our stay and would definitely consider returning.
