Good stopping off point for the Flinders Ranges. We were there at the end of the spring season when it was quiet and empty and weather was a bit warm, so we had the kitchen shed all to ourselves which was great. Facilities were basic but served us well. We also had the pool to ourselves which was lovely to cool down in. Slept in swags on gravel ground and was perfectly quiet overnight, just a few kangaroos hopping around.

Great little historic village, campsite had good amenities, clean and tidy. Lovely little hotel nearby that has just reopened for an afternoon ale on the veranda. The progress association has done an amazing job in restoring the town and displaying the history. Great base to explore the area.

A lovely spot for an overnight stay, facilities were good. The water trough in the picnic area and the bird bath next to the hall were very nice touches - I’d have happily spent longer seeing what birds came in for a drink and a splash. Would stay again on our way through.

The area is being reconstructed as close as possible to the original site and buildings of the time. Where modern facilities are required, these are integrated into the site with care & responsibility. The amenities for the 8 unpowered sites are very good with hot showers & a Telstra tower providing connectivity to the modern world. Bring a fly net & a water bottle for strolling around the site as buildings can be short distances apart in keeping with such a town. The hotel itself is beautiful and being carefully restored with some modern but tasteful features. The history of the town has been documented on site boards for easy reading or taking a photo for review later. We thoroughly enjoyed the town and will certainly be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Beltana. The sites were well laid out; we had site 6 which was a great drive through size with a great view. Toilets and showers were very close and very clean. We highly recommend a visit to this historic town and a stay at the camp site.

The village a fabulous moment in history. Well worth a visit. Facilities at campsite are great and clean. but if you only have a tent it is mostly on gravel so may not be right for you. There is a pub.. not open all the time but run by friendly volunteers.
Interesting history walk.

Top of the range community campground. Fantastic en-suite style amenities, good sized firepit (byo firewood). Lovely views, birdlife down at the creek and mostly just the peace & quiet. Oh and the night sky... stunning.
Great atmosphere at the pub, wet had lunch one day and dinner the next.
Also very convenient for the Nilpena Ediacara fossil tour which is incredible.

We loved our campsite and booked a second night. We felt quite spoiled with the warm showers and flushing toilets as we were expecting to camp rough. The amenities are excellent and it is really good to know the money spent on the campsite goes to help the restoration and renovation of historic town buildings. We recommend a visit to the hotel and sampling the local ale! We definitely intend to stay again.

Beltana is a great spot for a couple of nights which will give you time to explore the historic town, check out the Royal Vic Hotel (when open) and sample a local ale. Jan also makes a nice G&T, while Chris’s sausage rolls are Yummo.
Camp sites are great, as are the amenities.

Beltana is a great spot for a couple of nights camping. Facilities are excellent and super clean. Plenty of history to learn about and if you are lucky to be there when the Royal Victoria Hotel is open Jan and Chris (and Flossy 🐶) will look after you with a drink, a snack, and a good chat. Chris’s sausage rolls are pretty tasty too.
We will be back.

Enjoyed the drive through the gorges, particularly Brachina. Mount Ohlsson-Bagge was a brilliant 4-hour hike. Views including
into Wilpena Pound were completely worth the climbs, up and down! Memories we will cherish, and share for many years.
