Sunshine at Tiatukia

2 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Tiatukia, SA
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.

The best camping near Lincoln National Park 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.
