The best dog-friendly camping near Kingscote

·

Bringing your pets to Kingscote? You’ll find over 80 campsites that welcome furry mates, with prices starting at just $10 a night and most hovering around $30. Kingscote’s dog-friendly spots range from quiet bush blocks to sites just steps from the sand. Top picks include Marion Bay Bush Camping (84 reviews), PURA-VIDA by the beach (42 reviews), and Marron Bush Escape (34 reviews). Expect basics like toilets and showers, plus the bonus of campfires at many sites. Fishing, hiking, and wildlife-watching are local staples—keep an eye out for kangaroos at dusk and pelicans along the coast. Most places are relaxed about pets, but always double-check the rules before you book. This part of South Australia is made for wandering, and with so many pet-friendly options, you don’t have to leave anyone behind.

1. Dees Villa

71km from Kingscote · 1 site · Lodging
This purpose-built Greek-inspired villa with sunset views as far as Kangaroo Island provides the perfect getaway retreat. One hour south of Adelaide, en route to Kangaroo Island, and close to McLaren Vale and lots of fantastic wineries. Situated in a secluded rural setting on an 80-acre horse stud. Dee's Villa is a short 10-minute drive to Normanville or Yankalilla. We are close to Myponga Beach, Lady Bay, and Carrickalinga as well as the popular Normanville beach. Dogs and Ponies welcome. The Villa is independent of our home, and is on its own 5-acre plot, nothing in your view except the occasional horse, the paddocks, and the sea. We have resident kangaroos and the occasional echidna that visit plus lots of bird life. We have hosted weddings, many anniversaries, and lots of special occasions plus guests who live in Adelaide and appreciate being able to hop in the car, drive for an hour and find themselves in our little bit of heaven, a real rural retreat but only ten minutes to two small towns with supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and most everything else you might need. You have the entire Villa, which is very private, a verandah out front to enjoy the view out to sea and Kangaroo Island, and a fully enclosed courtyard in the rear to chill and enjoy the sunshine. The Villa is also wheelchair friendly, all entrances are wide, including French doors to the lounge and both bedrooms, a very large double shower with sliding doors, a raised toilet for people with issues, two toilets, and a separate vanity area. It is ideal for two couples as there are two bathroom areas, one with a vanity and toilet and the other with shower, vanity, and toilet. We are pet-friendly and have a lovely shady paddock for your pony and an enclosed yard for your dog. We do allow pets inside but ask that you let us know if you intend to bring your pets with you. There is a cleaning fee if there is dog hair over furniture and soft furnishings, please bring their bedding and don't let them on beds and sofas.
