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.

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.

Weekend Trip to Rocky Dale Farm

Lovely grassy paddock site and area to explore. The only downside was that the site was very close to the road which was busier than we imagined it would be. It was great to have the space to ourselves and enjoy a campfire but limited flat ground for tenting, the caravan was great though.

Had a great fire and lovely starry night. . Check SA fire regulations and Jenna’s information to check there are no fire bans on.

Lovely space to get away from everything. Jenna and her two children came to say hello and gave us some carrots to feed their horses. Nice area in Milang Bay and only a short walk to a few shops, cafe, takeout and pub. Thanks Jenna :-)

Such a great spot. Great views and a large area you get all to yourself. 15 mins to victor so shopping is easy, but still feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Luke was welcoming and very helpful, would recommend!

We all loved our time at Rocky Dale, the views were beautiful and it was lovely and quiet. The information about the site was accurate and Luke was very responsive to messages, ensuring communication was easy and our questions were answered. The visits from Sherlock and Lola, Luke’s dogs, were a wonderful bonus and our kids absolutely loved playing with them, especially Lola. We will definitely stay again in the future!

My family and I loved staying at Farm Paddock! Jenna and Shannon were so lovely and accommodating. Great little spot to bring the family and dogs along. We just so happened to book for the windiest weekend they’ve ever seen so had to cut short by a day. So because of that we’ll definitely be back! Great little spot to test out our caravan for the first time!

Quiet camp with friendly cows over the fence. Beautiful starry sky with no light pollution. Be aware south Australia is in drought so it’s not soft grass. Made camping a bit awkward.

Weekend Trip to Milang Farm Camp

Farm Paddock was a very peaceful setting with plenty of space for the amount of campers allowed, the horses were friendly and funny. Price was also reasonable. My only criticism would be to add some trees and or plants to green up the area and give a little protection from the elements but regardless still a nice camp.
