Or by 4WD vehicle from the campsite, via approved property tracks. Swimming or kayaking is permitted at visitors own risk. There is a pontoon for easy access to water with ladder for entry and exit.

Allow 1hr hike up, only a gentle incline for most, and one shorter steep section of 50m at the lake end. Currently the sites are natural as the land lies, so no amenities provided.

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. Usually, 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.

Look for the reflectors on the big gum trees on Brookman Rd, and the gate with the notice of Conditions of Entry denoting the way in. 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.

Weekend Trip to Camp Toondilla (Clarendon SA)

We loved having a van at Steven’s place. Flat, quiet and beautiful trees surrounding. It was a bit tight getting in and out but enough room to manoeuvre once on the flat. Easy walk to town, and short drive to plenty of attractions in the area. Steven was a great help with local knowledge and tips on places to visit. Would recommend.

Peaceful, beautiful environment for a relaxing stay

We loved our stay at six strings! The hosts were very accomodating and friendly. We had an awesome tasting on arrival and found it an excellent base to explore the region. Beautiful beaches and wineries all close by!

Was a great stay at Six Strings, beautiful little spot with a chance to enjoy some wonderful wine and be apart of a growing little winery. Look forward to future stays.

We absolutely loved our stay at Steve's farm. Camping directly at the creek was magical. The host family welcomed us with a big smile. We had a wonderful time at this beautiful farm and will be back one day. Thanks Steve and family for your special hospitality.

Camped on the hill and had beautiful views of the rolling hills, dam, alpaca and sheep. Closeby to hanhdorf and a quick drive to mt lofty. Greeted by Rob on arrival who was accommodating and very easy communication. Would stay again.

We had such a warm and welcoming stay at Sam’s place. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and we loved being surrounded by all the animals. You can really feel how much care and love they put into looking after them. It was a comforting and memorable experience. We’d definitely love to come back again if we get the chance.🩷

Had an excellent time at this spot, tucked away on a nicely grassed area. Steve was more than welcoming. There was a zipline and swings for the kids to play and there are also some resident koala’s you can spot in the trees. We would definitely stay again if we head to South Australia again!

We loved camping overnight at Waterfront Holiday Park, Taliem Bend. Very spacious pitches and clean facilities. The toilet and shower block exceeded my expectations on cleanliness. Perfect overnight break to refresh on our road trip. The booking and check in process was seamless.

Location was excellent with great shade for a few 35+ days. Site is on rock so a little hard to peg in but if you have a screw drill or a person with strong arms for a hammer and peg you can get it done. Other sites have lush grass that is meticulously cared for by the owners. Everyone was quiet and courteous in the campground. Hosts were excellent to deal with and took care of the amenities promptly. You can tell they take great pride in this campsite. Water is an easy walk away with plenty of places for relaxing swims. 💯 recommend for short or long stays.
