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.

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.

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.

The facility is well looked after and the shower block is very well maintained.. It's a charming and beautiful location just out of Port Augusta where you can find good coffee and shops. Check-in was easy and the tent site was perfectly situated and spacious. Great views! Only thing, they charged us $20 for firewood but the amount of wood was little. Recommend you bring your own bag of firewood as it is not aloud to collect firewood in the reserve. Very convenient and lovely with bush walks and pristine views.

I had a lovely stay at Pitchi Ritchi park. Hamish showed me to a great spot on arrival. There was a school group on site but I didn't see them much. Some road noise but it wasn't intrusive.

We loved Pichi Richi Park. We stayed at a campsite and bought wood for a fire. Binky the dog was a favourite with our kids. We walked up to the heysen trail just before sundown. It was a good short walk and a great view. It rained overnight. The only down-side to our stay was the sticky clay. Overall, a great stay.

Great spot with excellent facilities. We shared an unpowered site with friends a short drive from the main area. The kids loved the table tennis and exploring about the camp area. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet spot that's not too far from Quorn. Both the pubs are great, the gin distillery is pretty good as is the Scrubby Fella (superb cocktails). The IGA is well stocked.
