Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.
This campsite is mostly flat with the Rocky River running through my property, surrounded with river gum trees and plenty of bird life including kookaburras and Corellas. The property is fairly central to the localities of Laura, Stone Hut, Wirrabara, Melrose and Wilmington. Port Pirie is about 50km away if you need any major conveniences or supplies. You will need to be self-contained with your own camping toilet/shower and drinking water supply. We grow veggies on our land - if you would like some for your campfire dinner please ask me. Campfires are allowed. Dogs welcome.

We had a lovely 2 night stay. Wet on the second day, but peaceful, minimal traffic. Lots to do in Wirrabara and nearby Melrose. Host Paul was very welcoming.

Paul was a lovely guy! Had some firewood out for me, a little shelter I could pitch my swag under and offered help with anything else I needed. Great little spot that’s close to the southern flinders ranges areas. Thanks, Paul!

Paul was a considerate and accommodating host. The site was a bit close to the road to have our dogs off-lead.

Our stay at Rocky River was great. We enjoyed the openness and space to set up camp for the night. Paul was super friendly and helpful too.

Site 2 - Rocky River Off-Grid
The site is large and plenty of space to run around which the dog loved. We found firewood in the creek which made for great campfires Local shop and pub few minutes down the road. The noise from passing traffic on the long weekend was more than I expected but not loud or late into the night Paul stopped by and was happy to help and give advise on local activities A good trip

We had a wonderful experience at Paul's property. We were surprised to find that the river was dry, but that ended up being fantastic because the kids could walk through the rocky river bed and it was the perfect location for an easter egg hunt! Paul was very generous, bringing us some fresh produce from his farm. He also set up a camp toilet in an old furnace structure on the property, which was private and clean. The bike track goes right past the property so you can ride to Wirrabara Forest (we will do that next time), and it's a relaxing spot with good access to Melrose for more adventures. We couldn't have a campfire because of fire restrictions, but enjoyed the stars at night. The road is a bit noisy so bring earplugs for a good sleep - but don't miss the early morning bird chorus - it's beautiful :)
