The owner became extremely angry over a minor issue related to his fireplace rule, which appeared to be a misunderstanding. While I acknowledge that I may not have fully followed the rule he had in place, his reaction felt completely disproportionate. He aggressively extinguished the fire by throwing a bucket of water onto it, which could have easily injured one of our fellow campers who was standing nearby.
The way the situation was handled was unnecessarily hostile and made the experience very uncomfortable. It ultimately affected our holiday, which was disappointing given we were simply trying to enjoy our stay. Based on this experience, I would recommend that others consider alternative properties to avoid a similar situation.
Amazing stay, nice and relaxing beautiful walking trails and kids enjoyed going on bike rides
Neil was an amazing host

Camp 10A & 10B (Twin Site)
We had an amazing experience camping at Site 10. Neil was fantastic from start to finish, incredibly welcoming and always happy to help. The site itself was peaceful, well maintained, and made for a really relaxing stay. We felt well looked after and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend camping here to anyone looking for a great experience.
I stayed at Currawong Corner overnight to test my new camping set up. Neil was a fantastic host and went out of his way to help me out. The sites are grave-like, so for tents, bring a ground sheet. I was aware of this beforehand, and it wasn't a problem.
Awesome place to camp. Nice to find a place that has an abundance of bird life with no distractions. If you want a place to set up and just relax and enjoy without the hustle and bustle of camping then this is the spot. 14 km from Mannum so close enough to get more supplies or mingle with the locals and the variety of shops. Neil and Margaret are the hosts and made you feel really welcome and great conversations had. Long drop toilets are spotless and well maintained and cleaned. Had an absolutely fantastic time and now going to be my go to place where I can drive to close to Adelaide and unwind and get back to the bush.
Been to a few off grid places over the past 12 months, Currawong Corner is my favourite and definitely be going back.

The campground and facilities were neat and clean and the host was very welcoming. The only negative was the camp site was not far away from a busy road and because we were sleeping in a swag we could hear the trucks going past during the night.
It was a fantastic school holiday with my kids. Toilet is really clean, friendly care taker, fire wood supply for fire pit, Marshmallows, Star, Moon, nice wind, dark night and raining sound and rabbit.

We had a great time here! Perfect for a family trip. Toilet (long drop) is really well maintained. We were the only campers during the weekend, so that was perfect for us as. We will definitely be back

I booked on a last minute whim to see the lunar eclipse. Neil and Margaret were wonderfully accommodating, they ensured my site was accessible with a 2nd vehicle, and responded to communication very quickly.
A lovely relaxing get away. Would return again.

Lovely views and super friendly host keen for a chat! Unfortunately the weather defeated us for the first time and our trip was cut short. Super keen to come back and appreciate the entire experience (including the little library!)
Wonderful camping spot. Neil was fantastic with firewood delivery. Kids had a ball playing and walking the dog through the paddocks. We will be back.

Camp 13A &13B (Double size site)
A nice clean, quiet spot to enjoy the weekend. Neil and Margaret were extremely accommodating, making sure we were happy throughout our stay.
Definitely recommend, and the night sky is amazing!
The sites are so well maintained, I didn't realise there were drop toilets on site but they are honestly the classiest I have seen and very clean.
Neil was so friendly and hospitable, we were faced with some challenging weather and he stood with us in pouring rain and wind to help get our camp set up - even lending ropes and putting in extra supports.
The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and although there were other groups around us we felt private and at home. Also just a short drive into Mannum for a day trip or any supplies is convenient. The price is way too low for the experience we had and we would happily return.

Camp 11 - (Twin site)
A very well-maintained spot — Neil was extremely accommodating and helpful. We were lucky to have extra space due to a few cancellations caused by bad weather. If the campground had been fully booked, the designated sites would have been quite close together.
We all had a great weekend and recommend to anyone.
Thankyou
A lovely little patch of scrub to camp amongst, with a very helpful, relaxed, friendly host.
We arrived on a horrible rainy day with awful blustery winds, to find Neil was out & about checking on his campers, and helping them out. The sites were very sandy, the water quickly drained, and we weren't condemned to stomping around in mud.
Fortunately, the weather blew itself out that afternoon, and we had two wonderful nights relaxing in pleasant surrounds, chatting by the fire with our friends.
We selected the late check-out option, and as other guests left, we began to notice an entertaining amount of birdlife. The white-winged choughs were a highlight for me, they reminded us of the apostlebirds we've enjoyed watching while camping further north - I've since learned they are of the same family, so our Currawong Corner trip was also educational!
I expect we'll be back.

Camp 06 - (Triple site)
Good size site & very well kept long drops .
Sites closer together than I thought (if booked out would be very “caravan park vibe”
but still peaceful. Host very present & passionate about his sites & upkeep of his property.
Very well set up, we loved our stay in our rooftop tent. Probably the best setup drop toilets I’ve seen, clean and tidy. Fire pits were great and loved that they had a lid and a wire rack option for fire cooking. Will definitely be back!

Lovely spot, good facility, quiet spot. Will be even better when the drought breaks.
First time camping in SA and Currawong's Corner did not disappoint! Definitely camping here again - only a stone's throw from Adelaide. Only met Neil while we were there and he's a fantastic chap! Made sure everything was fine. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. Would recommend camping on a new moon for the best night sky! Thanks Neil and extend our regards to Margaret. :)

Loved our 2 night stay. Neil and Margaret were very accommodating and checked in with us a couple of times to make sure our stay was a positive one. Our furbaby loved it as well! Thanks for having us. Would recommend this spot to others.
Don’t come here. The hosts are caring, the night sky is bit spectacular, there’s a fridge full of books, and you’ll get really well looked after. It’s the worst. Go camp somewhere else please. This patch of gold and I need some quiet.
See you soon N & M.

Camping at Currawong Corner was very easy. A well set up campground with extremely clean long drop toilets and running bore water for cooking/ washing up.
Campsites are very close together, so if it is busy it could be quite noisy, but depending on where your campsite is within the group you may have no neighbours at all.
Neil was a fantastic host, ensuring that guests have everything they need and kept the camp area very clean. There is also a great little library there with books for all ages and some DVDs for the kids.
There is the option to purchase firewood, spring water casks and gas bottle exchange incase you run out.
