The views were truly impeccable. Waking up surrounded by the Flinders Ranges felt so special. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife during our stay, including sheep, big birds, kangaroos, and emus, which made the whole experience even more memorable.
The location is perfect, with a short drive to some truly stunning lookouts and walks. We also highly recommend checking out the Woolshed Restaurant - the food and wine were absolutely amazing and such a great addition to the stay.
Such a special place with an incredible atmosphere. We will most definitely be back.

Lovely, spacious place with beautiful views. We stayed over Christmas and the campground was empty, which made it extra special. The facilities are clean and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. There are also great 4WD routes nearby. We would happily come back again.

The view of the mountains is absolutely breathtaking from the campsite. Also, if you climb up onto the big hill next to the camp for sunset, you may just witness the most beautiful campsite of your life as I did. The owners were great as well! Very responsive and helpful. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Great little historic village, campsite had good amenities, clean and tidy. Lovely little hotel nearby that has just reopened for an afternoon ale on the veranda. The progress association has done an amazing job in restoring the town and displaying the history. Great base to explore the area.

Absolutely loved our stay at Rawnsley Park Station, we like our own space, so chose a spot away from most in an unpowered site. Positioned on the lake/dam, we had peace and quiet and the most majestic sunsets on the water and sunrises on Wilpena Pound, sheep, emus and birdlife in abundance. Staff in the shop were lovely and bathrooms were maintained to a very high standard. We took a helicopter flight from the main office over Wilpena Pound and further up the Flinders Ranges and Will, our pilot, was very knowledgable and professional.

A lovely spot for an overnight stay, facilities were good. The water trough in the picnic area and the bird bath next to the hall were very nice touches - I’d have happily spent longer seeing what birds came in for a drink and a splash. Would stay again on our way through.

The area is being reconstructed as close as possible to the original site and buildings of the time. Where modern facilities are required, these are integrated into the site with care & responsibility. The amenities for the 8 unpowered sites are very good with hot showers & a Telstra tower providing connectivity to the modern world. Bring a fly net & a water bottle for strolling around the site as buildings can be short distances apart in keeping with such a town. The hotel itself is beautiful and being carefully restored with some modern but tasteful features. The history of the town has been documented on site boards for easy reading or taking a photo for review later. We thoroughly enjoyed the town and will certainly be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Beltana. The sites were well laid out; we had site 6 which was a great drive through size with a great view. Toilets and showers were very close and very clean. We highly recommend a visit to this historic town and a stay at the camp site.

The village a fabulous moment in history. Well worth a visit. Facilities at campsite are great and clean. but if you only have a tent it is mostly on gravel so may not be right for you. There is a pub.. not open all the time but run by friendly volunteers.
Interesting history walk.

Top of the range community campground. Fantastic en-suite style amenities, good sized firepit (byo firewood). Lovely views, birdlife down at the creek and mostly just the peace & quiet. Oh and the night sky... stunning.
Great atmosphere at the pub, wet had lunch one day and dinner the next.
Also very convenient for the Nilpena Ediacara fossil tour which is incredible.

Stayed in non-powered camping. Beautiful spots, on plenty of shelter and the facilities were excellent. Was peaceful at night and stunning views during the day. Went for a hike and the views just got better and better. Highly recommend.

We loved our campsite and booked a second night. We felt quite spoiled with the warm showers and flushing toilets as we were expecting to camp rough. The amenities are excellent and it is really good to know the money spent on the campsite goes to help the restoration and renovation of historic town buildings. We recommend a visit to the hotel and sampling the local ale! We definitely intend to stay again.

Beltana is a great spot for a couple of nights which will give you time to explore the historic town, check out the Royal Vic Hotel (when open) and sample a local ale. Jan also makes a nice G&T, while Chris’s sausage rolls are Yummo.
Camp sites are great, as are the amenities.

Beltana is a great spot for a couple of nights camping. Facilities are excellent and super clean. Plenty of history to learn about and if you are lucky to be there when the Royal Victoria Hotel is open Jan and Chris (and Flossy 🐶) will look after you with a drink, a snack, and a good chat. Chris’s sausage rolls are pretty tasty too.
We will be back.
