Pichi Richi Park is our family owned and operated property, 13km south of Quorn in the heart of the Pichi Richi Pass.
We have plenty of campsites, including bush campsites that are secluded and private, along with campsites that are much closer to our bathrooms, group accommodation, kitchens and bush cabins.
Here at Pichi Richi Park, there are a number of signposted walking tracks ranging in distance from a few km up to a 10km+ loop. The Heysen Trail comes through our property for nearly 7km and some of our own walking tracks link with the Heysen as it meanders through our property.
You can also ride your mountain bike around and the Mawson Bike Trail is not far away.
We have over 1,000 acres of land around our accommodation that we do not graze as we are allowing this beautiful piece of Aussie outback to return to its original and pristine state.
We are not a caravan park, so all campers and caravanners that come here get a fair bit of space and nobody is on top of anyone else.
Quorn is our local town and is 13km away to the north. Quorn has 2 pubs, a number of cafes and a little supermarket that is open from 7am to 8pm 7 days a week.

Spear Creek is more than just another Holiday Park.
Set immediately adjacent to the Western slopes of the Flinders Ranges in the middle of a 21,000 acre working sheep station providing privacy, security and an experience like no other.
Spear Creek is located 25 kilometres south-east of Port Augusta, only 12km off Highway 1. Our eastern boundary follows the summit of the ranges north from Horrocks Pass, with walking trails through deep gorges to range top views of upper Spencer Gulf. The Holiday park is nestled amongst 600 year old river red gums adjacent to the ranges.
You may meet any of the three different species of kangaroos, echidnas, or 85 species of birds including wedge-tail eagles and peregrine falcons who call Spear Creek home.
The owner operators of this tourism business are fourth generation, whose families have been farmers and graziers on this land for over 130 years.

Vagabond Panorama Camp offers something truly special. Set your rig up and kick back at our hilltop campsites, with stunningly beautiful panoramic views of the Flinders Ranges and Spencer Gulf.

Ranger’s Rest – Overnight Outback Stopover
Welcome to Ranger’s Rest, a simple and peaceful overnight stopover near Carrieton in the southern Flinders Ranges.
Perfect for travellers, campers, caravans and self-contained rigs looking for a safe place to pull up for the night, stretch their legs, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the outback.
As the name suggests, Ranger’s Rest is designed as a convenient drive-through site where you can arrive, relax, and continue your journey refreshed the next day.
What You’ll Find Nearby
• Community toilet facilities and town water are located just a few hundred metres from the campsite.
• The area’s only petrol station and corner store are nearby, stocking fuel and many everyday essentials for travellers.
• A dump point is available at the local caravan park a short distance down the road (currently $5 per use).
A Real Family Property
Ranger’s Rest is part of our family’s outback property. You’ll likely spot our friendly resident chocolate Labrador, Honey, and hear our chickens going about their day in the area behind the campsite.
We’re a busy neuro-affirming family building our dream home in the outback, so this may not be the place for those seeking complete silence. We ask that guests appreciate the sounds of family life, children’s laughter and play, and the everyday happenings that come with living in a small country town.
Explore the Creek
Just 30 metres from the site is a beautiful seasonal creek that winds through the landscape. It’s a wonderful place for a stroll, rock-hunting, photography, birdwatching, or simply taking in the unique scenery of the southern Flinders region. Every bend offers something different, from interesting stones and native plants to classic outback views.
Supporting Our Family’s Dream
Your stay directly supports our family’s goal of building a neuro-affirming home and sustainable future in the outback. Every booking helps us develop the property and create a place where our children can learn, grow and thrive surrounded by nature.
Whether you’re stopping for a single night on your journey north or south, we hope you’ll enjoy the fresh country air, star-filled skies, and genuine outback hospitality.
Pull in. Rest well. Explore a little. Continue your adventure. 🚐🌅🐕🐓
Please note: Ranger’s Rest is currently a basic overnight stopover site. Guests should be self-sufficient and leave no trace so future travellers can enjoy the space too.

Such a beautiful spot not far out of Quorn. Hamish was super helpful getting us settled in spot accessible via 2WD. Site is very clean and well maintained. Nothing better than going to sleep under the stars and waking up to birds and sun rising over the mountains! Hope to be back soon.

Great site providing plenty of space, power, water, fire pit & toilet. Close enough to walk through to other amenities if needed. Quiet amongst beautiful old gums along the creek bed. Would be amazing in seasons when the creek has water.

What a golden place to stay.
We went in with our van, plenty of room and privacy from other campers with Fire pits and wood delivery provided.
Super friendly staff and we were even lucky enough to have a band playing the night we stayed.
You can also purchase farm fresh free range Lamb (from the store where you check in).
We will definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending. 5 stars ⭐️

We loved our stay! PRP was the perfect balance—slightly rugged, yet still comfortable. The amenities were exceptionally well maintained, and it had everything we needed. It also made me realise we had overpacked for this camping trip.
Our time there was too short, but we cherished so many moments: the view from our campsite, the sunrise behind the rugged hills of Mount Brown, and the scarlet hues painting the hills at sunset. We loved watching the Pichi Richi Train pass along the track right in front of our campsite, waking to the sound of birds in the morning, and taking in the lush green fields.
Hamish made sure we were well settled, even though we checked in later than planned (2 pm). The other campsites were spaced far apart from ours, which added to the sense of peace and privacy. When they say it’s a massive place, you’ll believe it when you arrive.
The cozy town of Quorn was equally charming, and the locals were so lovely.
Lastly, Binky came back to hang around on our first night - right after my friend secretly asked her to guard us while Hamish was checking in on us during setup. Ah. She now calls herself a dog whisperer.
Loved our stay, and I look forward to coming back next time. Thank you, Hamish!

The campground and sites are spacious with beautiful views of the Southern Flinders Ranges. Great amenities and a coffee van in the mornings! Staff were very friendly and when we arrived pointed out that the site allocated to us was a bit of a walk to the office and amenities and were happy to change it if we wanted to be closer. We had a look and were happy to stay at the allocated site as there was a flushing "outhouse" close-by. Amazing sunsets can be seen from The Sunset Trail and there are a couple of other walking trails to do.

The van sites are amongst the outbuildings on a working sheep farm. The farm is beautifully sited in a tree filled valley nestling in the Flinders foothills . The hosts Nikki and Dallas are very friendly and helpful, they showed us a walk to a lookout from where you get far reaching panoramic views of the hills and the coast. There is a toilet, hot showers and sockets in the wash rooms where you can charge devices, otherwise you need to be self contained.
