This is a campsite for those who want the best of both worlds, the serenity of the Australian Bush, but close to all the modern conveniences and holiday activities.
Surrounded by the Hindmarsh Valley National Park and a working sheep farm, you’ll be sharing this campsite with the local kangaroos, and if you’re lucky, an echidna or two. There’s a creek running through, and vibrant bird life.
Nearby is a beautiful bush-walk through the Mount Billy Conservation Park.
Situated half way between Myponga and Victor Harbor, only 15 minutes to either, there are many activities available. Kayaking on the Myponga reservoir, or surfing, swimming and sun bathing at either Horseshoe Bay or Waitpinga.
Urimbirra wildlife park is less than 10 minutes away, and around the corner is the Softfoot Alpaca Farm, with the on-site Swagman Restaurant. Also in Hindmarsh Valley is the lovely restaurant Lost Phoenix Farm.
Over your stay, you will likely encounter our two dogs, Lola and Sherlock, who very much enjoy meeting our guests. Lola is particularly fond of children and loves to play fetch with them, whilst Sherlock will try charm you out of your sausages. Despite what he says, he is well fed at home. They are both good at giving high fives. If you would prefer not to see the dogs, please just let us know and we will keep them under strict supervision.
An RV dump point is located on Adelaide Road, Victor Harbor, within the tourist information bay, 200m south of Waterport Road, approximately 10 minutes from the site.

We had a great site looking out over the Gorge and to the Ocean. Great to watch the sunset over the gorge. Close to McLaren vale, Moana and port Noarlunga. Was very quiet when we were there with only one other camper - cheers Darren.

This property is located at the rear of the owner's land and is essentially a large paddock bordered by trees. Access was straightforward, following clear signage from the main road to the gate. During our visit in summer, the grass was dry, and a fire ban was in place. I can imagine this would be an ideal spot for a winter getaway, with a fire.
Over the weekend, we had the entire area to ourselves and found a beautifully shaded spot to relax. We explored the property, including walking around the dam, and enjoyed encounters with a friendly horse and sheep. Our cat especially loved roaming the grounds and embraced his wild side.
The temperature was about 10 degrees cooler than Adelaide—if Adelaide was 35°C, it was about 27°C here. In the evening the weather became even cooler, needing warm clothing.
Shannon, our host, stopped by to greet us and was both friendly and welcoming. The property is very quiet, with the sound of the sea in the background. There are picturesque views of the surrounding hills and old grapevines.
I would recommend this location to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat away from caravan parks. The site is suitable only for self-contained visitors.
Thanks Shannon, will be back in the cooler months.

Site 1 was perfect for us with kids as both the kitchen and toilets were really close by. We didnt have to lug the gas stove, tables and chairs with us as the Kitchen had all these. It has a gas flat grill plate BBQ which was great for us. The space is huge and the kids had a blast running around. It did get a bit cooler there at night time which we didn't expect so pack some warm clothes (we went 2nd weekend of Feb). There are 3 adorable dogs that visited on and off and we played "fetch" with them. Kylie was lovely - she popped in to say hi and also gave my friend duct tape to fix her pole which accidentally snapped. And she also handed my friend some fresh eggs which my friend enjoyed thoroughly 😊 All in all, a great stay and I'll be coming back soon when we can have a fire.

Great space for many campers and the hills and trees provide a well protected area from the wind. Very private space with no sign of houses or any residential buildings. The horse and his best friend the Ram was a pleasure to witness running all over the fenced off paddocks, as both were very well behaved when I entered their paddocks for a meet and greet. "Very Funny Friend Team"
Hosts were fantastic showing myself the best place to setup to protect my camper trailer from the sun and nice to be advised the direction of sunrise and sunset for my camper trailer solar setup.
The beautiful Port Elliot Horse Shoe Bay is only 15mins away and that includes the famous and very popular Port Elliot Bakery, but best to go before peak time lunch, as the line up is insane, but worth the wait! Lol
Hosts leave you with extreme privacy, which was pleasant to know the only eyes and ears belongs to a Horse and Ram, which is pleasant unlike some caravan parks. Also no quiet time rules at 8pm or kids screaming all day long, so it was awesome feeling to be left to your own sensible rulings.
Even though there is no amenities shops and service stations are only 5 mins away with everything you need including an IGA!
I am in love with Port Elliots beach, so I will definitely be back and I thank you for the stay!!! 🤠😜

Unfortunately due to hot weather we haven’t actually been able to stay at the site. However the team have been brilliant in understanding and have allowed us to rebook. We look forward to staying in April. Inman Valley is a prime spot so I’m sure we will love the site.

Great little spot in Hindmarsh Valley, nice and quiet, well, except for the thousands of lovely birds! Lorikeets, rosellas, magpies and kookaburras were just a few that serenaded us throughout our stay. A shy kangaroo stopped by but wasn't too impressed that we had camped on the nice green grassy section, so bounced away. Very relaxing and enjoyable weekend all around.

We loved camping at Alma’s Hem. The views were beautiful and there was so much space for our kids to run around and explore. We fell asleep to the sounds of birdsong each night - so beautiful!
We particularly found it helpful to have the toilet and outdoor kitchen facilities while camping with young children. Thanks for having us!
