Pichi Richi Park is our family owned and operated property, 13km south of Quorn in the heart of the Pichi Richi Pass.
We have plenty of campsites, including bush campsites that are secluded and private, along with campsites that are much closer to our bathrooms, group accommodation, kitchens and bush cabins.
Here at Pichi Richi Park, there are a number of signposted walking tracks ranging in distance from a few km up to a 10km+ loop. The Heysen Trail comes through our property for nearly 7km and some of our own walking tracks link with the Heysen as it meanders through our property.
You can also ride your mountain bike around and the Mawson Bike Trail is not far away.
We have over 1,000 acres of land around our accommodation that we do not graze as we are allowing this beautiful piece of Aussie outback to return to its original and pristine state.
We are not a caravan park, so all campers and caravanners that come here get a fair bit of space and nobody is on top of anyone else.
Quorn is our local town and is 13km away to the north. Quorn has 2 pubs, a number of cafes and a little supermarket that is open from 7am to 8pm 7 days a week.

Ranger’s Rest – Overnight Outback Stopover
Welcome to Ranger’s Rest, a simple and peaceful overnight stopover near Carrieton in the southern Flinders Ranges.
Perfect for travellers, campers, caravans and self-contained rigs looking for a safe place to pull up for the night, stretch their legs, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the outback.
As the name suggests, Ranger’s Rest is designed as a convenient drive-through site where you can arrive, relax, and continue your journey refreshed the next day.
What You’ll Find Nearby
• Community toilet facilities and town water are located just a few hundred metres from the campsite.
• The area’s only petrol station and corner store are nearby, stocking fuel and many everyday essentials for travellers.
• A dump point is available at the local caravan park a short distance down the road (currently $5 per use).
A Real Family Property
Ranger’s Rest is part of our family’s outback property. You’ll likely spot our friendly resident chocolate Labrador, Honey, and hear our chickens going about their day in the area behind the campsite.
We’re a busy neuro-affirming family building our dream home in the outback, so this may not be the place for those seeking complete silence. We ask that guests appreciate the sounds of family life, children’s laughter and play, and the everyday happenings that come with living in a small country town.
Explore the Creek
Just 30 metres from the site is a beautiful seasonal creek that winds through the landscape. It’s a wonderful place for a stroll, rock-hunting, photography, birdwatching, or simply taking in the unique scenery of the southern Flinders region. Every bend offers something different, from interesting stones and native plants to classic outback views.
Supporting Our Family’s Dream
Your stay directly supports our family’s goal of building a neuro-affirming home and sustainable future in the outback. Every booking helps us develop the property and create a place where our children can learn, grow and thrive surrounded by nature.
Whether you’re stopping for a single night on your journey north or south, we hope you’ll enjoy the fresh country air, star-filled skies, and genuine outback hospitality.
Pull in. Rest well. Explore a little. Continue your adventure. 🚐🌅🐕🐓
Please note: Ranger’s Rest is currently a basic overnight stopover site. Guests should be self-sufficient and leave no trace so future travellers can enjoy the space too.

Such a beautiful spot not far out of Quorn. Hamish was super helpful getting us settled in spot accessible via 2WD. Site is very clean and well maintained. Nothing better than going to sleep under the stars and waking up to birds and sun rising over the mountains! Hope to be back soon.

Lovely stay in our trailer at Pichi Richi over the long weekend. Stunning scenery and lots of walking trails around. Hamish was very welcoming and drove us out over to our spot even though we arrived after dark. Clean new bathroom facilities. Would recommend to all 😊

We loved our stay! PRP was the perfect balance—slightly rugged, yet still comfortable. The amenities were exceptionally well maintained, and it had everything we needed. It also made me realise we had overpacked for this camping trip.
Our time there was too short, but we cherished so many moments: the view from our campsite, the sunrise behind the rugged hills of Mount Brown, and the scarlet hues painting the hills at sunset. We loved watching the Pichi Richi Train pass along the track right in front of our campsite, waking to the sound of birds in the morning, and taking in the lush green fields.
Hamish made sure we were well settled, even though we checked in later than planned (2 pm). The other campsites were spaced far apart from ours, which added to the sense of peace and privacy. When they say it’s a massive place, you’ll believe it when you arrive.
The cozy town of Quorn was equally charming, and the locals were so lovely.
Lastly, Binky came back to hang around on our first night - right after my friend secretly asked her to guard us while Hamish was checking in on us during setup. Ah. She now calls herself a dog whisperer.
Loved our stay, and I look forward to coming back next time. Thank you, Hamish!

The views were truly impeccable. Waking up surrounded by the Flinders Ranges felt so special. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife during our stay, including sheep, big birds, kangaroos, and emus, which made the whole experience even more memorable.
The location is perfect, with a short drive to some truly stunning lookouts and walks. We also highly recommend checking out the Woolshed Restaurant - the food and wine were absolutely amazing and such a great addition to the stay.
Such a special place with an incredible atmosphere. We will most definitely be back.

Lovely, spacious place with beautiful views. We stayed over Christmas and the campground was empty, which made it extra special. The facilities are clean and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. There are also great 4WD routes nearby. We would happily come back again.

Good stopping off point for the Flinders Ranges. We were there at the end of the spring season when it was quiet and empty and weather was a bit warm, so we had the kitchen shed all to ourselves which was great. Facilities were basic but served us well. We also had the pool to ourselves which was lovely to cool down in. Slept in swags on gravel ground and was perfectly quiet overnight, just a few kangaroos hopping around.

The view of the mountains is absolutely breathtaking from the campsite. Also, if you climb up onto the big hill next to the camp for sunset, you may just witness the most beautiful campsite of your life as I did. The owners were great as well! Very responsive and helpful. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved our stay at Rawnsley Park Station, we like our own space, so chose a spot away from most in an unpowered site. Positioned on the lake/dam, we had peace and quiet and the most majestic sunsets on the water and sunrises on Wilpena Pound, sheep, emus and birdlife in abundance. Staff in the shop were lovely and bathrooms were maintained to a very high standard. We took a helicopter flight from the main office over Wilpena Pound and further up the Flinders Ranges and Will, our pilot, was very knowledgable and professional.

We had the best time with our 3 kids and dog! The site Hamish suggested was close enough to the toilets but we still felt secluded. Kids loved the volley ball court, riding bikes and exploring. Lovely to have a fire and the hike up the hill is excellent. Loved Warren Gorge as a nearby dog friendly hike.

We loved our stay at Pichi Richi Park. The view we had was beautiful and got to see lots of wildlife. We went on the Pichi Richi train and could see our swags through the hills as the train went by. I would recommend staying there.
