5 nights at Camp Toondilla (Clarendon SA)

Camp Toondilla was a great base from which to explore Adelaide. Steven was really friendly and helpful, and so were the wallabies! Nice flat grassy spot and our kids enjoyed the play equipment.

2 nights at Noorla Farm (Happy Camping Ground)

Chris and Sam were lovely hosts and introduced myself and my puppy to their animals which was amazing and much appreciated; would have loved to take Blueberry home. Only downside was my puppy turns out to not like cows 😬 however I loved my stay and would highly recommend!

1 night at Noorla Farm (Happy Camping Ground)

Had such a fantastic stay at Noorla farm, Sam and Chris were both so lovely and accomodating. It truly is such a special place with incredible views and all the animals are so cute!! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to Cockatoo Valley Tiny Vacations

Loved the quietness and views. Will be back .....next weekend! Loved the alpacas

Weekend Trip to Stone’s Summertown Cherry Farm

We had a really lovely stay at Stones Summertown Cherry Farm. It’s a peaceful spot with beautiful views. The new fire pit was a highlight. We spent time by the fire, watching the moon and stars appear. It was such a relaxing way to end the day. The setup is simple and surrounded by nature. The hosts were friendly and easygoing, and the whole place has a relaxed, welcoming feel. It was a memorable stop and we’d love to come back another time, maybe during cherry season.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Rocks Farmstay

We had the most relaxing stay at Sunset Rocks. We stayed right by the creek in our camper trailer, which was super easy to access. We enjoyed the sound of running water to fall asleep to and the sounds of birds in nearby trees to wake up to. We took our dog on walks along the creek edge, set up a campfire to keep ourselves warm and enjoyed a pack of Steve’s sausages for dinner. We can’t wait to come back sometime soon!

Weekend Trip to Noorla Farm (Happy Camping Ground)

Fantastic stay! The hosts where so welcoming and the farm experience was everything the kids could have asked for plus more. Everyone keeps asking when we can go back. Would 100% recommend this stay to anyone.

Weekend Trip to Gum Gully Heights, Rockleigh SA

Great stay and great location. Nice and open. Rock fire pit provided was fantastic to use. Walking trail has a really nice view at the top. Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to Bradbury Nature Retreat

Georgie and Georgie's property exceeded all expectations. A truly beautiful and peaceful retreat. Whether you're looking for action or simply a place to slow down, this property offers it all. If you are looking for action it's close to all of the Adelaide Hills attractions and wineries, you can explore the pristine landscape on the property on foot or just take in the tranquility and stay by the campfire and relax. Georgie’s hospitality was exceptional—attentive to your needs while also allowing you freedom, creating the perfect balance for a place to breathe and unwind. It's an ideal escape that you don't have to travel miles for and we had an amazing weekend. Thank you Georgie, Amanda & Phil

Weekend Trip to The Scrub Campsite - Inman Valley

Beautiful, quiet bush campground with well-spaced sites, composting toilets, and a real back-to-nature feel. Great for tents and camper trailers, with fire pits and plenty of shade. Surrounded by native scrub and wildlife, it’s ideal for those looking to unplug and unwind. A highlight for families – the kids loved being visited by the friendly cows and the farm dog! No power or phone reception – just peace, stars, and nature. Bring your own water and firewood. One of the best low-impact, eco-friendly camping spots in the Fleurieu!

Weekend Trip to Hay Valley Farm

Great spot. Beautiful view from The Landing. Nice touch with the farm animals. 5 minute drive to Lot 100 78 Distillery. Quiet and peaceful.

5 nights at Camp Toondilla (Clarendon SA)

Handy place to visit McLaren Vale. Easy to find and very quiet/safe. Great stay , thanks Steve

1 night at Stone’s Summertown Cherry Farm

Review: 5/5 – Loved it! Just spent some time at this campsite and honestly, it was one of the best camping experiences I’ve had! The area is peaceful, surrounded by beautiful autumn trees, and the whole setup just felt really relaxing. Loved how the tents were on stretchers—kept everything off the ground and made sleeping way more comfortable. The host was super nice and helpful, which made the whole trip even better. Everything was clean, well-kept, and easy to access. Whether it was chilling by the fire at night or waking up to that morning view, it felt perfect. Definitely coming back here again soon. Highly recommend this spot if you’re after a chill, nature-filled getaway!

1 night at Belair National Park Holiday Park

Everything is very clean, very friendly staff, area is beautiful for our first camping this was a success thanks to them.

Weekend Trip to The Scrub Campsite - Inman Valley

Was a great site to visit, Marc was nice and did a brief check in, the toilet was one of the nicest compost toilets I've used. Saw lots of animals and had a good time. Sites were relatively close and had good privacy screening. Was noisy until 2am both nights, as we go to bed by 9 it was disturbing. 10 years ago I would have been the one up till 2 so I don't hold it against anyone.

Weekend Trip to The Scrub Campsite - Inman Valley

The Valley of Eden - Barossa

1 site · RV, Tent160 acres · Eden Valley, SA

A working cattle farm with beautiful Poll Hereford cattle roaming the 160-acre block. The Marne River flows down through the block with ancient indigenous canoe trees dotted along the river which flows for approx 10 months of the year. Walk to the the top of the block for 180 degree views of Eden Valley and surrounds. Your booking will give you exclusive rights to camping, so no need to worry about noisy neighbours! Canoe Trees and the Marne River Take a stroll along the river, looking for canoe trees. First Nations people of the lower Murray River formerly made large canoes from the bark of Red Gum trees. They used canoes to transport goods and move long distances along the river system. The Marne River in southeast South Australia starts below Eden Valley at an elevation of 366m and ends at an elevation of 5.06m flowing into the River Murray. The Marne River drops around 361m over its 69.5km length. https://www.acmi.net.au/works/111350--aboriginal-canoe-trees-of-the-murray/ History of Eden Valley The land of the Ngadjuri People, Traditional Owners of the Eden Valley region. South Australia’s beautiful Eden Valley, known as the garden of grapes and gums, is one of Australia’s premier cool climate wine regions characterised by its rugged beauty and varied topography. Eden Valley was named by the surveyors of the area after they found the word "Eden" carved into a tree. The beautiful rolling hills of the region create a natural diversity in mesoclimate determined by altitude, aspect and slope, which also naturally impacts the soil type. It is therefore critical to match the correct grape variety and site. Overall, the region is characterised by cooler conditions than its famous neighbour, the Barossa Valley, and as such the final stages of ripening and harvesting take place in cooler temperatures. Eden Valley wines are distinctive in their character, displaying wonderful aromatics, elegance, complexity and finesse. Eden Valley shares a proud German heritage with it's neighbour the Barossa Valley, collectively known as the Barossa region. English and German immigrants settled here in the early to mid-19th century, establishing the township in the 1860s. With a wine-making history dating back to 1847, Eden Valley is home to some of the world’s oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards. We are a family of 5 with 3 children who love to explore and learn about the history of the places we visit. So, we hope you enjoy this little snippet! CFS Fire Ban 2024 starts NOVEMBER 15th 2024 and ends APRIL 30th 2025 no campfires between these dates. BBQs and other cooking methods information can be found here https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/restrictions/what-can-i-do-what-cant-i-do/ Please note - we have made the tough decision to list this individual property FOR SALE, camping will continue until sold and possibly ongoing depending on if the new owners wish to continue. Please continue to love this place as much as we have!

We are close to the McLaren Vale wine region as well as wineries throughout the Hills and 35 minutes to the coast of Victor Harbor.

At present, we offer two areas for camping. Topspot which has lovely views and is quite secluded amongst the tree tops. This site is suitable for tents and camper trailers (need reasonable backing skills and 4WD) The Laneway which is close to the babbling creek is suitable for those with a small caravan, or motorhome, 2WD etc, along with tent campers. (but would struggle with large caravans/motorhomes - please check with hosts) (The Lookout/Highview has spectacular views Please note this site is currently closed due to stock rotation.) If you have any doubts about which to book, please ask. AUTUMN/WINTER MONTHS: if we receive considerable rain the trek up to the hill sites could become slippery and not accessible as it is a farm paddock, therefore unfortunately your booking may need to be cancelled. NOTE: On our farm there is limited phone coverage in the valley (The Laneway). Pets are welcome, however, please ensure they are kept under control (unless discussed with the host) at all times. Please note: This is an active small farm, therefore work may need be continued throughout your stay possibly necessitating the use of machinery and tending to our livestock. If you wish to see some of the animals up close, please let us know and we will try to accommodate. We ask that all fires be contained within the fire pit provided and a portable toilet is available for your use. BUSHFIRE SEASON: Wood and open fires are not permitted in the bushfire season, therefore you will not be able to use the fire pits.

Cockatoo Valley Tiny Vacations

11 sites · RVs, Tents23 acres · Cockatoo Valley, SA

This 20 acre working property is dedicated to our horses, dogs, birds and relaxing! You are welcome to wander into the big paddock and get a close up view of the system that services the property. It is also through this gate you go to access the walking trails and continue on to explore the scrub area where many native birds come and go including kookaburras. The line of trees planted in the gully area are dedicated koala forage trees so also wander down there and have a look and see if you can spot one. Your relaxed property walk will take you past paddocked sheep (they may run up to you if they think you have something for them to eat. Cut apples or carrots into pieces for them ) Rams and Whethers are together in their own paddock, alpacas and Bobby are in with the Ewes and any lambs at the time protecting them from predators in another paddock. There are horses, Dallas the mule (please do not enter their paddocks) , wild ducks at the dam, as well as our ducks and geese if they are out of their enclosure that day. There are raceways between all paddocks to continue your walk all around the property. Beware of the electric fencing though, it hurts if you touch it! We also have some very friendly chooks and turkeys that LOVE to say hello and be hand fed chopped up pieces of apple, carrot, grapes and especially watermelon! Feel free to give them any food scraps you might have. We also have a family of magpies will enjoy any meat scraps you leave for them too.Dallas, our mule is always up for a bit of attention and any apples or carrots you might like to share with him. Dallas is rather special as his dad is a "mammoth donkey" who has been imported from America. His mum is a stunning thoroughbred. Mammoth donkeys are a bigger/taller breed of donkey than Australian donkeys are. They are beginning to be used up north on stations instead of horses as mules are sturdier, more sure footed, not as flighty as horses so safer for stock men and women to use working with cattle. They can live into their late 30,s so have a longer working life as well. Dallas was born in 2023 Campsites 1, 2 and 3 are on the right hand side as you drive in via the automatic opening gate which you will be given access to once we have added your mobile number to the system after you have booked. We are currently planting more native shrubs and trees in this area to encourage even more bird life plus provide future windbreaks and further divide sites. From this area you will see the most spectacular sunsets and be able to have an open campfire during winter season. The Dam It site, Tree line site and Solar paddock site are through another gate on the left hand side opposite site 3/ the paddock with the solar panels in it before you reach our residence, aviaries and toilet. It is also through this gate you go to access the walking trails. Besides sitting back relaxing reading a book with a nice local wine in your hand there are other nearby options to fill your days while staying on our property. Take a short drive down Goldsfield Rd to the Mining Museum and hiking trails. A few KM's towards Williamstown stop in and see the Whispering Wall, built between 1899 and 1903, for its time of construction the dam was deemed a revolutionary engineering marvel. Sounds and voices, even a whisper can be clearly heard at the other end of the dam more then 100 meters away.
