So don't forget to pack your comfy camp chair, a bottle of wine or beer, and a cheese platter and get ready to relax and unwind at The Landing at Hay Valley. Please read and note the following: 1) Please note our base price of $30 per night is based on two people per night, even if there is only one guest staying. It is an extra $15 per person per night for any additional adult guests or $10 per child per night. 2) We only book one group at a time at the site so if you book you'll have the whole area to yourself. 3) There are no toilet/shower facilities available so please be self sufficient. If you are staying longer than one night you need to bring your own portable chemical toilet please, as per Hipcamp’s rules. 4) There are sheep and friendly goats living on the site at the moment. The sheep won't bother you but the goats may come and say hello but shouldn't bother you. Please don't feed them as then they will pester you. 5) We do not issue refunds for bad weather. Please make sure you check the weather conditions are suitable for your stay. If the weather is windy across South Australia it will most likely be windy at The Landing, as it’s an open area surrounded by trees. Hope you enjoy your stay :)

Bradbury Nature Retreat

1 site · RV, Tent11 acres · Scott Creek, SA
Dreaming of a retreat in the heart of the Adelaide Hills? Bradbury Nature Retreat is located on a stunning 11 acre property that offers glorious uninterrupted views all the way to Aldinga Beach (just ask the host to show you where you can find this secret view). The property is accessed via a private road so it is incredibly quiet and serene. Instead, get lost in the sound of wild-life all around you! Your campsite is surrounded by native trees and scrub so it’s not unusual to have kangaroos, koalas, and native birds like kookaburras and cockatoos stop by for a visit. Behind your campsite there's an organic fruit orchard filled with ducks and chickens, and a piggery where Camilla the friendly pig lives. The property also features paddocks with roaming sheep and alpacas. Let the host know if you would like a farm tour or to join in feeding the farm animals. We are a small, family owned and run hobby farm. Eggs and other farm produce for sale on request when there is surplus. Campfires allowed in winter/when restrictions aren't in place (BYO wood or ask us about buying some). Experiences around Bradbury: • Our property is 5km from Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary, the home to countless Australian native animals and the only place on mainland South Australia where you can see the elusive platypus! • Just a 7-minute drive to Deviation Road Winery where you can unwind from a hard week at work with a sophisticated wine and an all-day food menu whilst surrounded by vineyards and heritage listed bushlands. • On the main street in Stirling you will find the artisan ice-creamery, chocolate and lolly shop, Hokey Pokey. Our favourite is their house-made ice-cream made with biodynamic dairy and local, seasonal produce! • If you’re looking for somewhere to go for dinner Bradbury isn’t far from the Aldgate Pump Hotel, the Stirling Hotel and the Crafers Hotel, just to name a few. • For the plant lovers, Tupelo Grove Nursery is a 7-minute drive away in the outskirts of Mylor. This family-owned nursery is a must see and is known to be the go to place for harder to find, unique plants!

Camping near Adelaide guide

Overview

From coastal walks and beach getaways to wine tasting in the Adelaide Hills or the wild desert plains of the Outback—Adelaide has all of it on its doorstep, and campers have plenty of options, too. Check into a luxury caravan park within a short drive of the city, bed down in a retro caravan and enjoy a BBQ around the campfire, or pitch your tent near Eden Valley vineyards. Adelaide is also well situated for exploring South Australia’s national parks, where campers can get back to nature at bush camping sites.

Fleurieu Peninsula

Stretching south of Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula has beachfront walking trails, surf breaks, and quiet camping spots within a 1.5-hour drive of Adelaide. Sip Shiraz in the McLaren Vale wine region; head to the beach towns of Southport, Boomer Beach, and Waitpinga; or drive over to Kangaroo Island to spot wild kangaroos, koalas, fur seals, and little penguins.

Barossa Valley

Lush vines, stone villages, and some 150 wineries make the Barossa Valley one of Australia’s best wine regions. Just over an hour from Adelaide CBD, it’s an escape from urban life, where you can bike through the countryside, float over the vineyards in a hot air balloon, or try farm-to-table cuisine before checking into a campsite.

Yorke Peninsula

Northwest of Adelaide, the Yorke Peninsula curls its way around the St. Vincent Gulf, clocking up more than 700 kilometres of coves, beaches, and headlands. Just a 2-hour drive from the city, you can hike Innes National Park, play a game of golf, snorkel the Windara Reef, or go swimming, surfing, and fishing along the coast.

When to go

Summertime (December through February) is Adelaide’s busiest period, when crowds descend on the city to enjoy its summer festivals. To avoid peak season, the best camping times are spring (September through November) and autumn (March through May), when the weather is typically warm and dry—ideal for hiking, road tripping, and outdoor activities. Springtime is also best for wildlife watching, when baby kangaroos are often seen roaming the bushlands of Kangaroo Island.

Know before you go

  • Having your own vehicle is a big plus around Adelaide—public transport is limited in the surrounding areas.
  • Fire bans are common during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations before lighting your campfire.
  • Adelaide Central Market is one of the largest in the country and a great spot to pick up picnic supplies and fresh produce.
