Awesome place. We loved Catninga so much we stayed another night. The cattle roamed through the site. There were emus, roos and birds to sit back and watch. Incredibly peaceful place. The shower tree is something special too. Thank you Heather

Great stay over Easter weekend at Pitci Richi, Hamish found us a quiet camping spot, far away from other campers. Beautiful views, Hamish very friendly and welcoming. Toilets and shower block very clean. Would definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Pichi Richi Park

We loved tent camping at Pitchie Ritchie Park. There were beautiful views and a clean campsite. Facilities were amazing and it was easy location to get to. Even at Easter the campground was quiet and we were a good distance away from other people. We all loved cooking over the fire pit.

Weekend Trip to Wilkydoo Equine Connection

Weekend Trip to Pichi Richi Park

The stay at Pichi Richi Park was the perfect way to start our Flinders trip. Greeted by the gorgeous dog Binky, Hamish welcomed us and lead us to a phenomenal private camping spot close to the train line, and surrounded by the bush. The amenities here are some of the best we have ever had, and we even had a lovely breakfast guest in dear Binky! (Which had nothing to do with our sizzling bacon, I’m sure…) Thank you team for a wonderful stay - we will definitely be back!

Pichi Richi Park

8 sites · RVs, Tents2000 acres · Quorn, SA

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. Feel free check out our website at www.pichirichipark.com.au and we look forward to hosting you here one day at Pichi Richi Park.

Spear Creek Holiday Park

113 sites · RVs, Tents21000 acres · Wilmington, SA

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.

Camping near Whyalla guide

Overview

Whyalla is one of South Australia’s most unique destinations for wildlife watching. From May through August, this coastal city hosts the annual migration of giant Australian cuttlefish (the only place in the world where you can watch the natural phenomenon) while curious dolphins swim right into Whyalla harbour year-round. At the northeastern gateway to the Eyre Peninsula, the port city is the fourth largest in the state and blessed with an average of 300 sunny days a year, making it the ideal basecamp for campers and road-trippers. Check into a caravan park or tourist park in town, make the most of the low-cost campgrounds around nearby Fitzgerald Bay and Point Lowly, or snag a spot at a quiet Hipcamp away from the crowds. When it’s time to hit the road, the coastal hikes and campgrounds of Lincoln National Park and Coffin Bay National Park are just a short drive away.
