Just a short drive to the city of Port Lincoln, the beautiful Coffin Bay, fun activities and stunning beaches all while feeling completely secluded. Situated right next door to Gardners Vinyard and cellar door and down the road from Glen Forrest animal park.

Enjoy a full water view of Boston Bay and the surrounds of Port Lincoln. At night, witness the magical display of the entire bay with moonlight reflections, fish farms, large ships, the Port Lincoln wharf, silos, and the surrounding area. During the day, marvel at the boating activities ranging from ships to old-style yachts and smaller fishing vessels. Situated off a main road, with only local residents using the road (positioned at the back of a large 2.5-acre block), the block is fully fenced with a gateway entrance. Power outlets are available, 2 x 15 amp power points located on the outside of the shed and a double 10 amp at front of shed. There is ample rainwater available, with multiple tap outlets, hose and pressure pump located at the shed for filling tanks or washing. While we don’t have toilet facilities on our block at this point, the closest public toilets are in the beach town of North Shields and in Port Lincoln. We welcome animal companions but ask that you are mindful if there are other campers. Although not far from Port Lincoln and North Shields, our location offers space, tranquility, and quality views. The shed is locked, and we have a shower facility at the back, which is currently locked until we install a septic tank. You can camp anywhere on the block, drive around to find a spot, or choose from a few little granite rock spots and a single olive tree. The front gate is unlocked with a pin that can be easily pulled out, and it is a double-opening gate. To access the rainwater pump and tap outlets, simply turn on the power point located on the backside of the shed. The power point for the pump is a double 10-amp outlet. It’s a beautiful spot and perfect for leisurely walks if you enjoy exploring on foot. There’s a great waking/ push bike trail that goes from North Sheilds to the port Lincoln Mariner at the bottom of the hill where our block is situated. There’s a winery about 4 km from our block which is opened most days.

Set in a peaceful valley surrounded by native bushland, this 10-acre property offers the perfect balance of serenity and adventure. Just a short 10-minute drive from Port Lincoln, it feels a world away—offering hipcampers the ideal mix of seclusion and convenience. The landscape features open clearings, gentle rises, and shaded pockets beneath scattered eucalypts—perfect for pitching a tent or parking your van. Birdlife is abundant, and on still mornings, the only sound is the breeze rustling through the trees. Whether you're stargazing by the fire or watching the light shift across the valley at dusk, this is a place to slow down and truly reconnect with nature. Steeped in local history, the property was the first to be established in the area and was once used for commercial beekeeping. The original house on the site has its own unique story—it was formerly the Post Office building from Maralinga, relocated here in the 1970s.

Absolutely worthwhile making the effort to get to Parrara View. We stayed on the Sugar Gums site. What a fabulous location in a grassy field of aged Sugar Gum trees. Excellent, clean (incredibly clean) amenities, cool little fire pits, flat campsite. Was our favourite ever Hipcamp so thoroughly recommended. Our host was excellent and really informative about their area and happy to have a chat. Short drives to both Port Lincoln and Coffin Bay. Loved our stay at Parrara View.

A lot of space and even big caravan will fit. The road is a little bit rough for the last 1km but shouldn't be a problem. Fly's can be annoying but all the rest is just amazing.

We wanted a spot close to Coffin Bay that offered a quiet respite in the evening. This was perfect. Settle in for a Sundowner next to a blazing fire ( depending on Fire Ban season). Sarah happily provides fire wood for the two evenings we spent there. Quiet and secluded. No issues at all with access, but approach the driveway from the west i.e. from the Streaky Bay side.

The property itself is lovely , quite expansive . We wandered around looking for koalas , we must have seen at least 20 individuals during our stay , also enjoying the wild flowers , Large grass trees . Loads of kangaroos and some emu. If you have overseas visitors it’s a must visit . Thanks Helen for hosting us . A 5 star experience.

If you’re looking for a caravan park experience, this isn’t the place to find it. Yes the roads a bit rough, and the toilets are basic - at least they flush! But if you’re after the most wonderful wildlife experience - this is where you’ll find it. Koalas everywhere you look. Wild free koalas doing koala stuff. Not to mention the roos, emus, birds and lizards. Huge camping areas, with fire pots scattered (bring your own firewood). This place is absolutely magical.

This place was amazing kangaroos and emus everywhere. But when it comes to koala's. You had to look for lump in the tree. Then there was another in next tree and the next tree they were everywhere. Up high down low and waddling across the ground. Well worth the 16 km of dirt road to get there. Recommend this place 100%... will return again to walk and explore the history on this wonderful sanctuary.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at Tiatukia. The views are spectacular. There was lots of open space and strategically placed stacks of hay bales providing both protection from the wind and privacy from the other sites. We had a toasty little campfire in the evening. The hosts are delightful and provided clear directions to the campsite and were very responsive with all communications.

The best camping in Lincoln National Park, SA guide

Overview

About

The wild southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula is a sea-ravaged paradise of rocky coves, pristine white-sand beaches, and bush-clad headlands. Venture off-road in a 4WD to discover secluded beaches and sweeping sand dunes, dive in to swim and snorkel in crystalline waters, or soak up the scenery as you hike the long-distance Investigator Trail. Escaping the crowds is easy, even in midsummer, whether you’re seeking out a quiet spot to fish, whale-watching and bird-watching along the coast, or checking into a tranquil beachside campsite. Speaking of camping, there are 14 campgrounds to choose from, plus a cottage rental and glampsites.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for glamping: September Beach Campground has 12 sites suitable for caravans, campervans, camper trailers, and tents, plus glamping tents.
  • Best for getting on the water: Taylor’s Landing Campground has a boat ramp, plus toilets, picnic facilities, and unpowered sites for caravans and campervans.
  • Best for a back-to-nature experience: Memory Cove provides secluded beach camping in a locked wilderness area—advance bookings are essential.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Advance bookings are required for all campgrounds.
  2. You can book online via the South Australia National Parks and Wildlife Service website up to 12 months in advance. 
  3. Campsites can book up fast during peak season (December-Feb), especially over weekends and school holidays. Book at least three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

When to go

The warm sunny days of summer provide the perfect weather for swimming, snorkelling, and beach activities at Lincoln National Park, and this is the most popular time to visit. Wildlife lovers should plan a late winter or spring visit, when birdwatching opportunities are at their peak, and it’s whale-watching season (May through October) along the coast.

Know before you go

  • Lincoln National Park is 13 km southwest of Port Lincoln, along Proper Bay Road. Many beaches and campgrounds are only accessible by 4WD.
  • There is a per-vehicle entrance fee for the park, and camping fees also apply.
  • Facilities within the park include restrooms, picnic areas, and a boat ramp. Bring everything you need with you, including camping supplies, food, and drinking water. 
  • Partial or total fire bans are often introduced from November through April, and wood fires and solid fuel fires are prohibited at these times. The risk of bushfires is severe, so keep an eye on the park website and always follow the latest guidelines.
  • There are accessible restrooms, campsites, and picnic areas at Lincoln National Park.
