Absolutely lovely stay here. We had Paul the Owner take us around the property to the cliff tops. Paul and his Wife Kristina are working hard to do up the property. So much space to camp and have campfires in the right season. Great spot to use as a base to look around the area. Differently would love to come back.

I stayed at Coodlie Eco Camp for three nights in my self-contained Hiace campervan. It was incredibly peaceful, a brilliant break from the full days of driving since leaving WA. It was very quiet, plenty of space fromother campers and my dog LOVED the opportunity to be off-leash for a change. I would stay here again anytime. A beautiful bush camp.

We spent two nights in Coodlie and enjoyed it. Flat sights, camp kitchen rustic and clean, great bbq, bucket showers fun but workable, drop toilets clean, and as we had the camp to ourselves it was very quiet and peaceful.
Only downside was zero communication response from the hosts when we messaged. It would have helped us a bit.

This is an awesome campsite and highly recommended. Great facilities, balanced with a rustic and true bush experience. Great for kids, short or long stays.

What a brilliant campsite, such a great vibe and perfectly situated for day trips. The showers are surprisingly awesome, and the host's we very kind and accommodating. Would also be a great place to go as a group. So many spaces and different options to set up your base camp. Can't wait to come back and do some more exploration of the EP.

We loved our stay at Coodlie Camp! I was set up in a 19ft caravan, while my mate set up in a swag hut. Plenty of space for both, with an allowance to be solely contained, or mingle with other campers.
Easy access to Venus Bay and Talia Beach, bith just 10 mins away, is brillaint all around.
Highly recommend for any Eyre Peninsula goers, looking for a space to set up canp either short or long term.

Overall this was a great place to stay. The sites are nice and private. They could improve the bucket shower system, the buckets you use to collect water from the kitchen had holes in them and a broken handle. The bathrooms need a good clean, hair and dust in every corner. Also the men’s shower heads were all blocked except for one that was working.

Great Campground, basically setup where ever you like, grounds are flat, large camp kitchen, toilets and bucket showers, bush camping at its best. Venus Bay is only 10min up the road so if you need supplies the general store has everything, plus the scenery here is magnificent, the campground at Venus Bay was chocked full of vans so Coodlies Campground was thankfully the place I chose to stay, staff are very friendly, I’d recommend staying here and I will again

The site is awesome so much room and well setup. From the bucket showers (great fun for the kids and a welcome amenity when camping) to the large communal kitchen and dining area with hot water and free gas cooking. Paul was super helpful one night offering me power to charge my lithium battery and Krystina was very accommodating when we need ed to get the kids sleeping bags washed while we were out. At night we were entertained by the astrologer extraordinaire PK who showed us some
Amazing sites with his telescope and lazer beam. A well organised and easy to access campsite. Plus a shortcut drive to Talia Caves. A terrific true blue outback adventure.

If bush camping is your thing then this is a great place to stay, especially if you are a group. We were in a 21 foot van and had heaps of room. There is shade if needed and open areas that are good for solar. The camp kitchen and amenities are fun and rustic.
The drive to Talia Cave is easy and quicker from the camp (2km instead of 6km from the bitumen).
The disappointment was that the private beach was not at all accessible for us and doubtfully accessible to anyone other than rock climbers. It is a huge almost vertical 40 foot descent. This was not obvious from the advertising.
The owner was very friendly and welcoming.

We had a fantastic one night stay at Camp Coodlie. We loved the location - a quick drive to Talia caves, the rock pools and the beach where our boys had their first swim of our trip.
We had a campfire, admired the skies at night and loved the camp kitchen. Would definitely recommend if you want to get away from the crowds.

The camp was excellent with good facilities. Heaps of room to be isolated if you wish. Close to the Talia Caves and other beautiful locations

Absolutely loved it. We were lucky enough to have it to ourselves for the first couple of days and it was delightful. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay amazing. The proximity to Talia Rocks was fantastic (look out for Bobtails on the way) and the short trip to Venus Bay was both handy and beautiful. Could not recommend it more if you're looking for that bush camp vibe.

A bit of a shame I was only here for one night, lots to explore in the area. I think this campsite would be fantastic with a bunch of friends. The bucket shower was a bit of a novelty but were surprisingly effective.

We’re a family of four (2 adults, a 1yo & a 3yo) & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The camp kitchen, toilets & bucket showers were all above adequate given the style of campground. There was plenty of room for our little ones to explore. We were fortunate to have mostly good weather conditions, though windy towards the end of our stay & lots of flies!
One area that could benefit from would be clearer descriptions of the beach track, particularly how far it is from the main campground. We stopped by the office three times & no one was there to ask, so we took the track on in our Commuter van. It was certainly worth it in the end, Talia Beach was beautiful!

Our group had a fabulous time at Coodlie Eco camp. The hosts were lovely and very accommodating. There are plenty of spots to camp either in open areas or secluded little nooks which our group of 4 vans, 8 adults and 7 teens chose. The 4 older kids also loved the Swag Huts 🛖. The bucket shower was also a fun and novel experience. The only down side was we needed another day so we could take up the opportunity to go on the guided drive with the host.

Nice quiet campsite with amazing bush camp kitchen. Lots of sites and might get busy at times but only one other camper while we were there. Well protected from the wind that stopped us staying closer to the coast.

Super quiet and the host was lovely. I really enjoyed the drive to the beach and the 4wd track around the headland. I was way too scared to climb down the cliff to the water but it looked lovely from the top of the cliff.

We just got back from Coodlie Park Eco Retreat, and honestly, it was such a chill place. Christina and Paul, the owners, were really welcoming and friendly, which made a great first impression.
The campsite has a bunch of different spots to pitch a tent etc. and they’ve even got these neat little shelters for swag setups. The best part was probably the camp kitchen—big enough to cook up a storm and seats around 30-40 people comfortably. It turned into a great spot to hang out and chat with a couple of other guests who were around.
Speaking of other guests, there weren’t many when we were there, so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The kids absolutely loved it—tons of space for them to explore and ride their bikes around safely.
It’s also driving distance to Venus Bay Ceduna and Elliston, which was perfect for some day trips to the beach and local spots. We were there from April 16th to 25th and really made the most of being so close to everything.
Christina and Paul have really set up something special. It’s laid-back, friendly, and right in the middle of some stunning bushland and scenery. If you’re after a spot where you can relax and the kids can run wild, Coodlie Park’s definitely worth checking out.
Highly recommend for a family getaway or anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature.

We loved the bush camp and the camp kitchen and bucket showers we're unique. As a ex 20 year military veteran the showers and toilets took me back to many Australian Army training camps . Don't come expecting 5 star modern just appreciate the uniqueness of this camp and country side. Host Paul went out of his way to show his property to us and the short cut to Woolshed Caves and cliff top circuit. Unfortunately never got to meet his better half.
