We loved swag camping at Kookaburra Rest Campsite. There was plenty of firewood easily accessible and a lovely fenced property for some bird watching and exploration.

My partner and I had a great time here! Such a beautiful spot to camp. It was very peaceful and had lots of amazing wildlife too. Highly recommend. Norm was so friendly and welcoming, plus feeding the alpaca’s was so much fun. Thanks Norm!

Nice spot, view to hills and some bush to explored. Good flat area for swags and good location on the Fleurieu, with short drives to Deep Creek and Yankalilla

This was a really secluded spot to get away from the normal noise of city life. Clear skies provided an amazing starry night.
I would highly recommend this camp site

It's a beautiful spot, with lots of little birds. Being so close to Parawa Rd it wasn't as secluded as I was expecting. I didn't hear any cars through the night but we had about 10 an hour go by.
It's definitely nicer to have this spot to outselves rather than being bumper to bumper in a caravan park though.
Great location- close to Ingalla Falls, Deep Creek, Normanville and not too far from home for a quick getaway.

My partner and I had a great time here. Nice little spot tucked away to ourselves. The variety of bird life in this one spot I have never experienced anything quite like it. Would definitely recommend. Cheers Norm!

Private and plenty open space to explore with the kids. A welcome relief to the bisy caravan park. Nestled in a valley with native wildlife coming and going. Norm was great and the kids and adults enjoyed feeding the Alpacas. With Normanville, Victor and Deep Creek near by it was a good base for our adventure.

Great spot – felt really private and peaceful. Perfect base to explore the area. Woke up to kangaroos in the morning, which was a real highlight. Would definitely stay again.

Our second trip here, we had some great weather at this beautiful bush location, our host Norm was so obliging, so close to Yankallila, Normanville.
Plenty of birdlife, very peaceful, highly recommended.
Images to come…

Norm was flexible with our booking, thanks.
The place was all for us, which was nice, but we are a bit disappointed that most of the paddock was high grass so we couldn’t roam around. The area we camped on was on a slope, which was not comfortable. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this secluded campsite. The location is peaceful and private, nestled in a quiet valley with plenty of space to choose from.
Norm was incredibly welcoming. One of the highlights was getting the chance to meet and feed the alpacas, which was such a lovely experience.
We visited during the summer and had no trouble getting there in a two-wheel-drive vehicle. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Really beautiful property to camp on. I met Norm, he was really a gentle and kind host who pointed me in the right direction as I was a little lost.
Had a big camp fire and made friends with two little red breasted robins. Close to the road but barely any cars went past so not a problem.
Nestled off the main road but easy to get to.
A good little retreat with privacy. Thanks Norm.

We found Norm’s place very private and secluded and enjoyed the serenity, the birds, kangaroos and even an echidna.

Norm’s property on the Fleurieu Peninsula was secluded, green and packed with wildlife. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was a great weekend getaway. I wish we’d had more time to stay longer.

A great little spot with a very accommodating host, in what is my humble opinion the best part of SA, the Fleurieu Peninsula! Thanks for having us Norm!

A lovely private spot for camping. Kids loved listening to the birds and chasing crickets. Nice and close to Ingallala Falls and Yankallila.
On the days we stayed it was quite hot and the cleared area for the campsite wasn’t shaded from about 9am to 4pm. The rest of the paddock had quite high grass (bit worried with the kids and snakes) and so we were a bit limited to staying in the slashed area with no shade - wouldn’t be an issue in cooler weather or if the paddock has recently been slashed.

Lovely bird life. Even an echidna came through camp.
Norm was great and we loved seeing the Alpacas.
Great spot to explore the surrounding areas.

Absolutely perfect place for us.
Central to the Fleurieu to explore in every direction and isolated enough from the sardine can caravan parks to feel you've escaped the rat race - and we had it all to ourselves!
An incredible amount of bird life and a few 'roos made it even better.

Absolutely beautiful location. Quiet and tucked away whilst still being within 10mins of town services.
Easy to find, and plenty of flat ground to set up on.
Wildlife was fantastic, as was the outlook.
Highly recommend.

Serene tranquility, set in a small valley there's nothing to do apart from watch the birds fleeting and the roos feeding. Pure bliss. Near a small road, but not busy so minimal noise. Will come again, thanks for having me

It was a fairly peaceful location. A few cars past on the roadway but nothing to worry about. There was plenty of birdlife and around half a dozen kangaroos on the days we were there. Nice and quiet at night with only the natural sounds prevailing.
