Hello!
We would love to share the Winter Wetlands Sanctuary in Kuitpo with you.
The little sanctuary has been specifically designed to accommodate Campervans and Self-driven motorhomes WITH ON-BOARD TOILETING & GREYWATER TANK.
Please understand that our business model licence and insurance policy has stringent conditions attached to it.
*WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ACCEPT SELF-DRIVEN CAMPERVANS/MOTORHOMES THAT ARE 7.5m OR LESS IN LENGTH*
They must be equipped with their own toilet facilities and greywater reservoir due to governmental zoning regulations. Do NOT book unless you have your own toileting amenities and grey water tank. No human waste policy applies. If you have to cancel your booking because you do not meet these requirements, you will NOT be refunded. It is out of our hands.
Our Insurance policy has stringent conditions:-
*NO CARAVANS, TRAILERS, OR TENTS.*
*NO CHILDREN*
*NO PETS*
Now that THAT is all said:
Forest Gate B&B has been receiving guests on the property for nearly 40 years and the Winter Wetlands is a small private sanctuary that we share with our guests who enjoy the countryside and the open air.
We run a small farm in the Adelaide Hills, and over the past 10 years, have been developing this little safe haven in the Southern corner of our property. We are trying to encourage the proliferation of local wildlife that everyone can enjoy both now and in the future.
The Winter Wetlands is NOT a 'caravan park'. It is a small, private, sanctuary, which is at it's best in the cold wet Winter months when the pond/ dam comes to life. Guests can kick back around the campfire overlooking the dam, as they listen to the crickets and frogs in the evenings. There is a resident Western Grey kangaroo, many possums (both ring-tail and brush-tail), native burrowing rats, koalas and an occasional wandering echidna (if you are lucky enough to see one). There's a plethora of birdlife, including favourites such as blue wrens, fairy wrens, and a resident family of white-winged choughs.
The Sanctuary caters for a maximum of seven bookings (2 guests per booking) at any one time. Often, you will have the Sanctuary all to yourselves. There are many little picnic spots.
We request that guests leave no sign of visitation, and take all waste with them.
CAMPERVAN SITES:
As stated previously, regulations only allow the following:
*SELF-DRIVEN CAMPERVANS OR MOTORHOMES THAT ARE 7.5m OR LESS IN LENGTH*
*NO CARAVANS, TRAILERS, OR TENTS.*
We have 7 independent, unpowered, sites that are suited for Class A or B campervans or motorhomes ONLY.
ACCESS:
There is easy, main road access into the 'Winter Wetlands Sanctuary' from Brookman road. GPS: -35.21694, 138.6970.
There is a clearly marked, one-way, stone road that leads to all available sites. Look for the gateway on Brookman Road, bordered by two giant gum-trees (with reflectors on them) and two white wooden rails. Next to the gate, you will read the notice of Conditions of Entry.
COMMUNAL AREAS:
The communal shelter shed, picnic areas, and two communal camp fires offer a variety of places to relax and watch the local birds enjoy the area.

Nestled between the Adelaide Hills and the Barossa Valley, Humble Farm offers a picturesque country setting where you can pull up your caravan or pitch your tent. Set on 100 acres of open rolling hills with pockets of ancient gums and rocky outcrops, the property is alive with wildlife — think kangaroos, eagles, echidnas, hares, frogs, and butterflies.
Camp alongside Saunders Creek (which flows in winter), in the shadow of historic ruins, and across from Humble Farm’s newly established orchard. Enjoy a large fire pit during the cooler months (strictly April to October).
Humble Farm lies within an International Dark Sky Reserve, treating guests to some of the clearest views of the night sky and its constellations. Young children can enjoy the playground — complete with a sandpit and water pump, cubby house, swings, and monkey bars — just a short walk up the hill from the campsite.
The main residence is over the hill on the opposite side of the property, ensuring privacy. Only one site is offered per night to maintain peace and serenity (if you’re traveling with others, enquire about multiple sites at a discounted rate). There is no toilet or shower block — public toilets are a 10-minute drive away if you don’t have your own setup. No potable water is available. As this is a working farm, dogs are welcome but must remain on a long lead. No motorbikes, please.
Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Mount Pleasant (home of the Mount Pleasant Farmers’ Market) and 10 minutes from Springton (home of the historic Herbig Family Tree), Humble Farm is an ideal base for exploring.
Spend an afternoon in the cafés of Lobethal or Woodside, sample the best of the Barossa high country at its many cellar doors, or venture to the Riverland — all within a 25-minute drive.

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.

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!

Secluded but connected ... Why travel more than you have to to escape and get back to basics? You can set up camp and be sipping a wine or hot beverage in the bush tranquility in less than an hour from most suburbs .
The campsite is set on a hill with a view . It is not a parkland but offers a true taste of nature with native grass and vegetation .
approx 15 mins from Magill and about 40 mins to the CBD / small caravans ok .
Bushwalk on the property or Rock climb at nearby Morialta falls / hike Cleland / Mt Lofty or use the Grove as a base to expore the nearby Heysen trail , the many bakeries , eateries , wineries, breweries and distilleries nearby . Visit historic Marble Hill residence on open days, or enjoy many of the many events the Adelaide hills has on offer. ( Medieval fair / Adelaide rally / SALA / bay to Birdwood / Anzac / country fairs to name a few )
Enjoy pure Marble Hill spring Water ... Roast some chestnuts * over the campfire or gather some wild blackberries* , or mushrooms *. ( * in season ) .
Pls Note :- Campers are provided a basic toilet / waste disposal pit area and your self contained outdoor showers are welcome .
Pet waste must be removed and any onsite rubbish must be placed in the roadside wheelie bin ( off site ) on departure .

Very close to a main road. Could do with some hedges or shrubs to block it out. Camp sites close together with only 2 fire pits. Alan and Sarah were friendly and good hosts. We were lucky that we brought firewood as it got very cold and we used it all. Would return but probably only of we had a group of friends in the other camps.

Easy check in and a great spot by the creek. The toilet was clean and the surroundings quiet - if you don't mind the creek and the ocaissional Kukaburra.

We booked for 2 nights and ended up staying for 4. It was peaceful, no one else around and close to Monarto Safari Park and Murray Bridge. Sheep and lambs in the paddock next door to waste time watching and a fire pit, table and stump stools which were perfect for a night by the fire. We felt much better staying here on a private secure property than a public RV stop and the hosts were really lovely.

Awesome stay at perkender, easy directions and access was great. Could easily get my combined 15m setup there. Simple to setup as site is large and mostly flat/level. Owners of the property very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We spent two nights in this lovely little camp. The owners have created a simple place to stop and enjoy the peace and quiet. Everything is clean and tidy, has gorgeous views across the paddocks. It was a treat to wake in the mornings and have a cuppa with their sheep in paddock next door.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sunset Rocks Farmstay. We stayed in the Niagara Falls site which was just beautiful. The kids had a blast in the cubby, and the kayak on the creek. The adults loved a walk around the property, sitting at our campsite taking in the beautiful surrounds and the sound of the running creek. The site was big enough for our 23 foot van, which was reasonably easy to manoeuvre into position and the facilities were good. Quite a steep decline when approaching the bridge, so a 4WD is required if towing a decent sized rig. Thanks Steve for sharing your property with us!

Fantastic campsite down by the creek. Our kids and dog loved exploring along the creek. It had a great family feel with other families there too. The scenery and grounds by the creek were beautiful. We felt like we had our own little oasis as we camped right at the end. The host Steve was super prompt with answering questions and was nice and welcoming and friendly.
We will definitely recommend this place to others looking for a really nice spot alongside a creek.
Our constructive feedback would be that there needs to be more than 1 toilet and bathroom for the amount of campers and for the price paid. We camped over the Easter long weekend and there was often a line up and wait for the 1 toilet. For a place with that many campsites and people there should be at least 2 toilets.
It was great that it’s dog friendly and our dog had the best time, however we noticed that no one picked up after their dog, as there was dog poo everywhere. We had to pick up someone else’s dog poo to setup our swags.
It would also be nice to see and hear some animals while staying there with kids, as we didnt hear or see any animals, except for an old ram. I grew up on sheep farms and my sister has a hobby farm with sheep which the kids love. But it didn’t feel like a farmstay as we couldn’t hear or see any animals, unless you paid for a full tour. Maybe have a few animals close and that kids can see or at least hear?

Gorgeous location by the creek, decent facilities. The hill down is steep but was fine in our big rickety 2WD. Steve is lovely. Wish we could have stayed longer!
