The best camping near Edithburgh

·

Located at the heel of the Yorke Peninsula’s boot, Edithburgh provides an idyllic seaside escape. With its small-town charm and sandy beach, this windswept stretch of coastline is ideal for swimming, sailing, and fishing, as well as being a surprise hit with scuba divers and snorkellers. Cast a line from Sultana Point Jetty to hook a snapper or King George whiting; launch your boat from the all-weather boat ramp; or dive beneath Edithburgh Jetty to spot rare species of nudibranchs, seahorses, and octopus. Just off-shore, Troubridge Island has near-deserted white-sand beaches, a resident colony of penguins, and a Lighthouse Keeper’s cottage to rent. The long-distance “Walk the Yorke” hiking trail also passes right by the town. Edithburgh campers can check into the town’s caravan park, which has powered sites and cabin rentals, or park a self-contained caravan at the bush campgrounds and Hipcamps near Wattle Point or Goldsmiths.
