Spear Creek is more than just another Holiday Park. Set immediately adjacent to the Western slopes of the Flinders Ranges in the middle of a 21,000 acre working sheep station providing privacy, security and an experience like no other. Spear Creek is located 25 kilometres south-east of Port Augusta, only 12km off Highway 1. Our eastern boundary follows the summit of the ranges north from Horrocks Pass, with walking trails through deep gorges to range top views of upper Spencer Gulf. The Holiday park is nestled amongst 600 year old river red gums adjacent to the ranges. You may meet any of the three different species of kangaroos, echidnas, or 85 species of birds including wedge-tail eagles and peregrine falcons who call Spear Creek home. The owner operators of this tourism business are fourth generation, whose families have been farmers and graziers on this land for over 130 years.

We were privileged to be the first ever Hipcampers at Nikki's place. We were warmly welcomed to their farm and given lots of local info. We walked to the tower lookout on her farm and enjoyed one of the best views of the Flinders Ranges and Fitzgerald Bay. The flushing toilet and hot shower were sparkling clean. Leveling of caravans required, very peaceful and private spot.

I was in camp 5, with only 1 other camper visible off in the distance. The space looking down towards Port Augusta is huge. Unfortunately it was 32 degrees and extremely windy, and was not comfortable at all. Loads of flies. Luckily the big old gum tree provided shade. Any walks were out of the question. Once the wind dropped and the flies disappeared it was a pleasant spot to relax in. The sunset was beautiful.

The best camping in Mount Remarkable National Park, SA guide

Overview

About

About 50 kilometres southeast of Port Augusta and 270 kilometres north of Adelaide, Mount Remarkable National Park contains some spectacular canyons and is a popular wildlife-spotting and hiking destination, with short and long trails. There are several campsites as well as cabins for travellers who want a bit more comfort. The park is a must-visit stop on road trips through South Australia, or because it’s about three hours’ drive north of Adelaide, it can also be visited on a weekend trip from the city.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for families: Large Mambray Creek Campground has flushing toilets and showers
  • Best for quiet nights: Baroota Campground has just 10 sites.
  • Best for groups: Alligator Lodge sleeps up to 10 people in 3 rooms.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Check the availability on the dates you want to visit–certain campgrounds and accommodation are sometimes closed for repairs or for seasonal or weather-related reasons.
  2. Book campgrounds and cabins online via the National Parks and Wildlife Service South Australia website. You can choose your dates and number of people in your party, and adjust according to availability.
  3. Campgrounds and cabins are most popular in the spring and autumn, so book as far in advance if possible if you want to visit in these seasons, or if your group is large.

When to go

April to October is the best time to visit Mount Remarkable National Park for camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Temperatures are most comfortable then. Summers can be extremely hot and dry, and the risk from bushfires is very high. The park is closed when the fire risk reaches “catastrophic” levels. Most campers won’t find sleeping in a tent or hiking to be comfortable in the summer.

Know before you go

  • Bring plenty of water when camping and hiking in the park. There are some water points within the park but the availability of water depends on seasonal rainfall and shouldn’t be relied upon.
  • Wheelchair-accessible toilets can be found at the Mambray Creek Campground and at Willowie. Other locations in the park have basic toilets. 
  • Campers should bring their own firewood, as gathering it isn’t allowed in the park. Fires aren’t allowed during bushfire danger season.
  • The park is home to a lot of wildlife, and much of it isn’t shy. Look out for goannas, emus, kookaburras, echidnas, parrots, and eagles.
