Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
Located on Ramindjeri Country in the heart of the Fleurieu Peninsula, Alma’s Hem is a serene, private campground set by a winter creek on a working cattle farm. An abundance of bird life, wildlife and big night skies. Pitch your tent, swag or park your caravan or RV. Less than 1km from the the Heysen trail, giving you easy access to hikes. 15 minute drive from Victor Harbor for all your shopping conveniences. 20 mins to the stunning Carrackalinga beaches; Kayaking the Second Valley caves and beautiful drives to waterfalls, conservation parks and tourist attractions. Campsites are located on level grassy area. Flushing toilets, fire pit and firewood available. Perfect for a romantic getaway or for small and larger groups. Please note that our property has work dogs who live nearby and love to visit guests. When you arrive there is a map located on the right hand side of the driveway entrance with the sites marked. You are welcome to find your site get comfortable. We will welcome you at some stage! Please contact us if you'd like to book for more guests than listed and we will do our best to accommodate. Campground has shared facilities and respect of each other and the land is critical. We are a leave no trace site, which means everything you bring in you must take with you, which includes rubbish and broken things. The bins at the entrance are for residents only and as they are only collected fortnightly cannot cater for more than those who live here. Firewood can be brought in by you or we will provide wood for $30/night per site. Wood is not to be foraged from adjoining scrub as it is Heritage listed and to be left for habitat, ecosystem and your admiration only! We look forward to crossing paths! Best, Kylie and the Alma’s Hem Team

Beautiful place to stay - we had amazing views out over rolling hills with forest behind us. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves, but the sites are spaced well apart so it wouldn’t have mattered if there were others. Kylie was lovely and we even got to spend some time with the doggos!

Site 2 - The Creek Side
Firstly, Kylie was a wonderful host and her 3 dogs were super friendly and polite. We felt very welcomed. Each site was very spacious and set apart from other camping sites in the area. My son and I had more than ample space to play cricket, soccer, frisbee, etc. The surrounding landscape was absolutely stunning and picturesque. At night, it was pitch black and quiet (except for the occasional mooing of cows), perfect for stargazing and switching off. There were plenty of kangaroos that passed through and grazed nearby too. We were at Site 2 and the toilets were conveniently close (about a few minutes walk). The toilets were clean and well maintained. Nearby the toilets are taps that provide rainwater, which we also found to be very handy. Location wise, it's close by Victor Harbor if you need to pop in for supplies and a proper meal. We also had brunch at a nearby (only 5 min drive) cafe called Belicious on the morning we left. They served Belgian waffles as their specialty, which we found to be deliciously comforting after a few days of camping. Overall, my family had such an amazing time together at Alma's Hem. We would not hesitate to go back again, and thoroughly recommend this site to other campers looking for an easy, relaxing and memorable stay.

Camping at Alma's Hem was unexpectedly magic. When all the campsites in nearby Deep Creek were booked up for the weekend, we stumbled across Alma's Hem on Hipcamp as an alternative option. We're so glad we did! From the moment we drove in, we could see how quiet, scenic and special this place is. The facilities were very quaint and inviting, including a camp kitchen under the stars. The stage and bar area is fun to walk around and explore, and we had the pleasure of meeting two adorable pups who demanded we throw the stick for them to chase (any time). We can't wait to come back :)

Well presented lot in an ideal location away from the noise of the daily grind. Ample space between the lots and was easy to find using the app directions and the site map on entry. The toilet facilities are much more than you would expect of an outdoor stay and the BBQ cooking facilities looked more than adequate to say the least. Kylie the host was nice and accommodating. I will definitely come again sometime soon.

A very peaceful and well-looked after place with some thoughtful and creative touches. Grass to camp on comfortably and plenty of space. The location is perfect for accessing the Heysen Trail or just walking/driving through some lovely farming landscapes. A short drive to the coast. What more can you ask for?

The views were beautiful, and the campsite was very quiet. We booked a twin swag, and it was quite comfortable, though it could have been a bit cleaner. The bathroom was exceptionally clean and well-designed. That day, we even came across incredibly smart and adorable dogs! 😍We truly enjoyed our camping experience there.

Site 1 - The Nest
Wow! What a truly beautiful spot. Campsites are far enough away from eachother that you get a sense of privacy. Lots of native birds and wildlife. I chose The Nest to be close to amenities as I wasn't sure how far away the other campsites would be, but any of them are only a short walk (maybe 100-200m depending on where you set up). Next time I might consider a different site as other guests would use the toilet block at night and shine torches on my campsite or leave the doors open and lights on when they were finished (attracting insects, causing the light to fall on my campsite and providing light pollution for anyone else wanting to stargaze - I had to go and close doors/turn lights off myself a few times which was inconvenient, but certainly not the fault of the owners). Amenities are clean - it's wonderful to have flushing toilets! Kylie greeted me on arrival and was very welcoming and kind. Only a 15-20 min drive into the nearest town (Victor Harbour) and plenty to see and do nearby. I'd love to come back!

We loved tent camping at site 1 at Alma’s Hem. It’s a beautiful property - felt very secluded. It was very convenient having the lovely bathroom facilities and camp kitchen, including pizza oven. The kids enjoyed exploring all of the artistic touches around the property, playing on the stage, playing fetch with the friendly dog, & climbing trees. Inman Valley is a beautiful region. We would definitely recommend this campsite.

This is hands down one of our most favourite HipCamps, Kylie and her family are lovely and so down to earth and welcoming. We feel very lucky that they generously share their beautiful property with everyone. The views are spectacular and the amenities are top notch. If you have kids, they'll have a ball exploring and watching the wildlife. This spot is forever in our hearts and we absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible camping spot in SA.
