Set amongst the gum trees and kangaroos, a beautiful break from suburban life. Nestled right in between the Barossa and the Adelaide Hills, fun places to explore are not too far away.

We offer a wide grassy area peppered with trees, ideal for a relaxing spacious camp. No toilet facilities onsite so campers must be self-contained. Our site is located along the Lavender Federation Walking Trail. 7km from Springton General Store where you can pick up all basic supplies including fuel and simple takeaway meals, or Springton pub across the road has pub meals. 25 mins to Angaston (with the Barossa Valley Cheese Company) and the wider Barossa area. 30 mins the other direction to Woodside (where you will find Melba’s chocolate factory) and the greater Adelaide hills. 25mins to the Birdwood Motor Museum 30mins to the Big Rocking Horse in Gumeracha where you can climb the Big Rocking Horse for $2. 15km to Eagle View 4WD Track (Sanderston) If you’re here on a Saturday morning the Mount Pleasant Farms Markets (8am-12), 10 mins down the road is a great place to pick up some fresh produce and a coffee. Mannum Waterfalls - 30 mins drive is a beautiful spot for a walk.

What a wonderful place to unwind and just enjoy nature. Beautiful views, glorious night skies and lovely hosts. No noisy boat traffic so you can swim or paddle in tranquillity. Dogs can wander freely so our pup’s thoroughly enjoyed themselves too.

Belinda was amazing! Our wine tasting with her was one of our favourites to date. She is so warm and welcoming and her history with wine and wine making is fascinating. It’s not often you get to do a wine tasting with the wine maker themselves, and the wines were delicious. We bought three bottles! The site is also beautiful nestled in amongst the vines, and location is perfect to access lots of the local wineries

Weekend Trip to Kookaburra Cottage Farm

We had lovely time here! A great central spot if you're into just having a base to float back to, or very relaxing if you wish to stay out. Even though there are roads either side, if you face your camp towards the trees it will feel quite private and with beautiful views! Loved hearing all the birds calling out in the morning and evening 😊 The site itself was nice and flat, but glad my partner had a 4WD as the track was a little rough at the gate. Would totally recommend though!

We stayed here on our way to Cape Jervis to catch the kangaroo island ferry the next morning and it was a great spot for that! Lovely and scenic, would recommend fly nets if you’re staying during the daytime but they seemed to only turn up while the sun was out so didn’t bother us too much for our overnight stay.

No disappointment once again, had a great time in this beautiful riverfront location. Weather was again on our side, many hours spent relaxing and cooling off in the river. Our host Susan is very accomodating and it is such a great location to unwind. We will be back…

What a wonderful place to stay during our (all too short!) visit to the Barossa. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. Belinda was absolutely delightful — friendly, helpful, and full of great local tips for places to visit, eat, and explore. The accommodation itself was peaceful and beautifully set among the vines — we had the whole vineyard to ourselves, which made it feel extra special. 😀 Sitting outside with a glass of wine, surrounded by the scenery, was such a highlight. We couldn’t resist purchasing some of the vineyard’s wine to enjoy once we’re back home — a lovely reminder of our stay. Highly recommend The Cutting , so much better than staying in a caravan park! Cheers! 🍷🍇

For vineyard camping, it really doesn’t get any better. The site was completely private, except for the occasional welcome visit from a kangaroo or two, with 360-degree vineyard views and a stunning drive in. Daniel, the host, was incredibly helpful, offering great local recommendations and impeccable communication. 10/10 recommend 🍷

Weekend Trip to Tipsy Hill Located at Walker Flat

My family and I absolutely loved camping out in our caravan right next to the water and waking up to the sunrise each morning reflecting off of the cliff faces of the Murray River. Our host Susan was lovely and very informative of the area amd even let us borrow a small row boat to explore the lagoon with.
