One of the best campground and places we stayed on in our 6 months around Australia Trip. The koala are so near and absolutely gorgeous. The communication with the owner are easy and clear. A lot of space and even big caravan will fit. The road is a little bit rough for the last 1km but shouldn't be a problem. Fly's can be annoying but all the rest is just amazing. Highly recommend this place .

Mikkira Koala Sanctuary was an amazing experience, camping in close proximity to Koalas. Listening to them communicate to each other during the night. So special . The property itself is lovely , quite expansive . We wandered around looking for koalas , we must have seen at least 20 individuals during our stay , also enjoying the wild flowers , Large grass trees . Loads of kangaroos and some emu.
If you have overseas visitors it’s a must visit .
Thanks Helen for hosting us .
A 5 star experience.

If you’re looking for a caravan park experience, this isn’t the place to find it. Yes the roads a bit rough, and the toilets are basic - at least they flush! But if you’re after the most wonderful wildlife experience - this is where you’ll find it. Koalas everywhere you look. Wild free koalas doing koala stuff. Not to mention the roos, emus, birds and lizards. Huge camping areas, with fire pots scattered (bring your own firewood). This place is absolutely magical.

This place was amazing kangaroos and emus everywhere. But when it comes to koala's. You had to look for lump in the tree. Then there was another in next tree and the next tree they were everywhere. Up high down low and waddling across the ground. Well worth the 16 km of dirt road to get there. Recommend this place 100%... will return again to walk and explore the history on this wonderful sanctuary.

A picture perfect campsite so secluded and so incredibly beautiful. We didn’t see a koala however loved watching the kangaroos at play and the spectacular colours of the many varieties of birds. My favi part was being immersed in the stars. It was like standing in a fish bowl with stars covering you from your feet until as high as you can see. Spectacular experience. Thank you

I went for the koalas but was blown away by the history too. Fabulous spot and we had it all to ourselves. Lots of kangaroos, emus and other birds too. Brilliant.

There are very few places in the world, you can be sitting by a fire, having a morning cuppa and watching a koala walk by, another in the tree behind you eating, 2 kangaroos boxing, while another 20plus watch and the sounds of the Lincoln Parrots and Galahs chattering away in the trees. A magical place!

A definite must to visit and stay. We set up camp and started our walk and the saw three koalas within 10m of camp. Good facilities and lots of other wildlife to view.

Enjoyed the wildlife & being able to see the koalas up close. Peaceful camp site until the weather turned a bit pear shaped on us (gusty winds that’s rocked the camper really badly). Not a negative about the campsite - just unlucky with the weather. Would definitely go back if we were in that part of the country.

What an amazing place! If you ever want to get back to nature and just enjoy the serenity than this is the place for you. Helen and Broden were very accommodating, was lovely to hear of the history, this place is a credit to you both and the family. We will be back and make sure we bring some friends to also enjoy your beautiful place. Thank you for your hospitality.

I enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and especially the wildlife which was plentiful. The old homestead was fascinating and helped give a historic perspective.

Great place to visit and stay. We have stayed 3 nights on our way back to WA. Unfortunately SA Coast was having some extreme weather so we spend as much time enjoying everything it had to offer.
One thing we manage to do was find the koalas, such an awesome stay.

Beautiful camp grounds, amenities are basic but that's what camping is about.
Plenty of wildlife to see, a walk to look.for koalas is a must.
Unfortunately the weather was not the best so we couldn't do everything we wanted. Highly recommended for everyone.

This was my best stop to date on my trip around Australia. Having koalas so close to my tent and just being at peace, was magical. Lovely to walk around the property and it will stay with me for a long time.
