Winter Wetlands Sanctuary
7 sites · RVs2 acres · Kuitpo, SA
Forest Gate B&B has been receiving guests on the property for nearly 40 years. Forest Gate Winter Wetlands is a small private sanctuary that we share with our guests.
We run a small farm in the Adelaide Hills, and over the past 10 years, have been developing a 'Winter Wetlands' in the Southern corner of our property.
The Winter Wetlands is NOT a 'caravan park'. It is a small, private, sanctuary, at it's best in the Winter months when the pond comes to life. Guests can kick back around the campfire overlooking the dam, as they listen to the crickets and frogs in the evenings. There is a resident resident Western Grey kangaroo, many possums (both ring-tail and brush-tail), native burrowing rats, and a plethora of birdlife including favourites such as blue wrens, fairy wrens, and a resident family of chuffs.
*WE ONLY ALLOW SELF-DRIVEN CAMPERVANS THAT ARE 7.5m OR LESS IN LENGTH* Must have own toilet facilities and grey water reservoir.
*NO CARAVANS, TRAILERS, OR TENTS.*
We request that guests leave no sign of visitation, and take all waste with them.

COMMUNAL AREAS:
The communal shelter shed, picnic areas, and two communal camp fires offer a variety of places to relax and watch the local birds and other fauna enjoy the area.
Other FEATURES include:

There is a Waste Dump Point in Meadows (6 km away) near the footy oval (Brooks street rec. ground, GPS: -35.180278, 138.76).
SIZE RESTRICTIONS:
Due to the nature of the vegetation in the Winter Wetlands, and manoeuvrability of vehicles, size restrictions apply. Sites will suit campervans (7.5 m or less), but will NOT be suitable for caravans. Caravans, trailers and tents are NOT permitted.
UNSUITABLE for CHILDREN and PETS:
Forest Gate is a working farm. There are regularly livestock in the paddocks adjacent to the Winter Wetlands. There is also an open dam and a communal fireplace in the Winter Wetlands.

Star Hosts in Prospect
Camping near Prospect guide
Overview
The northern Adelaide neighbourhood of Prospect is very close to the central city and a convenient place to set up camp to be close to the action while having access to beautiful natural spots. The main thoroughfare, Prospect Road, leads directly to Reservoir Park, Bragg Park, and other central-city green areas encircling the River Torrens, which are great picnic spots. Campers wanting to get out of the city from their base in Prospect can head west to coastal suburbs such as Glenelg or Seacliff, or east to the Adelaide Hills, both a short drive or train or bus ride away. Whether you’re at the start or end of your Australia camping adventure, Prospect is a handy place to prepare for or decompress from a cross-country road trip, with the wilds of Western Australia in one direction, the Limestone Coast in another, and the Red Centre to the north.
