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.

This is a wonderful spot just outside Port Lincoln on a billabong with incredible bird life. Sheltered away from the offshore winds and so peaceful. We spent Christmas here in our caravan with two friends in their T Van and our sons in a tent. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic site overlooking Port Lincoln Bay. Stunning views! Very large sites, hay bales as wind break and the great communications starting the week before I arrived culminating in interactions with both hosts made for a fantastic stay. The offer to fill water tanks on arrival set the scene for a very welcoming environment.
I highly recommend this site for self contained campers.

Lovely rural setting amongst established trees with a great view. Peaceful and quite, we had the place to ourselves. The best portaloo and shower set up I have seen and a thoughtful addition for campers who aren't self sufficient or don't want to poo in the van loo. Friendly and helpful hosts, we are lucky Hipcampers to have hosts like these!

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.

One of the best campground and places we stayed on in our 6 months around Australia Trip. The koala are so near and absolutely gorgeous. The communication with the owner are easy and clear. 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. Highly recommend this place .

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.

Overview
About
Jagged sea cliffs tumble down into crashing waves and near-deserted beaches along the shores of Coffin Bay. Jutting out from the southwestern corner of the Eyre Peninsula, the wild and sea-weathered landscapes of Coffin Bay National Park are a feast for explorers. Bring a 4WD to reach the sheltered bays and surf beaches at the far tip of the peninsula, set out on foot along the Black Rocks Hike or Whidbey Hike, or take to the water to canoe, sail, snorkel, or scuba dive. Six campgrounds are dotted around the park, most of them accessible only by 4WD.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for 2WD access: Yangie Bay Campground is the only spot with access for caravans and campervans, and has 19 unpowered sites.
- Best for beach views: Pool Campground has tent sites in a sheltered bay just a short stroll from the beach.
- Best for backcountry campers: Sensation Campground has unallocated tent sites with zero facilities.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Advance bookings are required for all campgrounds.
- You can book online via the South Australia National Parks and Wildlife Service website up to 12 months in advance.
- 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
Four seasons of outdoor activities draw adventurers to Coffin Bay year-round. Summer visitors make a beeline for the beach, and the westerly winds mean that temperatures can be much cooler than nearby Lincoln National Park. In spring, wildflowers brighten up the headlands, while winter is a great time for hiking, fishing, and birdwatching.
Know before you go
- Coffin Bay National Park is about a 40-minute drive west of Port Lincoln along the Flinders Highway. The entrance to the park is along Coffin Bay Road. The Yangie Bay area is accessible by 2WD, but beyond there, you’ll need a 4WD.
- Both per-vehicle entrance fees and camping fees apply. All fees must be paid online before arrival.
- Park facilities include toilets, picnic areas, and a kayak launch. Bring everything you need with you, including camping supplies, food, and drinking water. Mobile phone coverage is patchy.
- 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 Yangie Bay.
