I really enjoyed my stay at this campsite (no 5), it had plenty of space, nice bush views with emus and a nice tree shower and long drop. All well done. Heather was a great host, friendly and helpful.

I was in camp 5, with only 1 other camper visible off in the distance. The space looking down towards Port Augusta is huge. Unfortunately it was 32 degrees and extremely windy, and was not comfortable at all. Loads of flies. Luckily the big old gum tree provided shade. Any walks were out of the question. Once the wind dropped and the flies disappeared it was a pleasant spot to relax in. The sunset was beautiful.

Such a beautiful spot- my partner, pup and I, had the most relaxing time enjoying the stunning views and privacy of Camp 1. Would love to come back again with the family as there is so much space on each site, the long drops were clean as, and we’d like to explore the hiking further as it was quite hot by the time we peeled our bottoms of the camping chairs, and the snakes were out to play! Thanks again Heather 🙌🏽

What a great spot. Great hosts and an amazing outlook. Camp #5 is a neat bush setting and mountains in the background. Not far out of Port Augusta but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.

Helen saved me with a late check in as a national park campground nearby was unexpectedly closed.
She was quick to respond with a booking request. property is easy to find. super spacious sites, heaps of room between you and others. Toilets. Property is on a rise so has a nice sunset view. And the icing on the cake, bush shower under a tree. What a treat.

Absolutely stunning views, great secluded spot, lots of bird life to relax too. Wonderful hosts that went above and beyond for us. Close to Port Augusta if you need to go into a town but far enough away to for the peace! We will definitely visit again!!

Such a lovely campsite with views of the mountains and cattle in the surroundings. Trees provided shade and the dry toilet was clean. Heather was also really accommodating and helped us out with what we needed. Definitely would recommend.

Quiet, serene area among old gum trees. Loved the idea of the tree showers, but a bit too cold to try at the moment 😁

Camp 4 was lovely, nice little flat spot down by the toilet block to set up swags/tents. Heather was very approachable and helpful and it was a nice and private camp-site, just how we like it. Will definitely stay again, hopefully when the weather is better!

A great campsite with lovely views and so peaceful. Road in a bit rough but I just took it slowly . I was the only one there and felt safe. Brian was very knowledgeable and helpful. Heather
responsive in messaging - important as I only booked that morning. Much better than staying in Port Augusta.

We loved camping here. It was so beautiful and peaceful - most of our stay it was just us, the cattle and the kangaroos.. Heather was a fantastic host. We definitely recommend this magical spot!

We loved our short stay at Catninga . The camp sites are well spaced for privacy and have a long drop toilet. There are views towards the gulf and the ranges. The old gum trees are beautiful and with a welcome spot of rain the colours are amazing ! Birds, Roos, Emus and cows, all the wildlife you could wish for . We loved it and would definitely recommend. Stunning !
Heather was very welcoming and communication was great , thank you !

Magic place for an overnight (or longer). Very private and beautiful views to Port Augusta. If we stayed again would try and get the shower tree site as it has the same views but the cute outdoor shower as well.
