Escape to Coorong Island Retreat: Where Nature is Your Host Wake up to the raw beauty of the Murray River and the Coorong. Whether you’re here to play, explore, or simply slumber, this is nature’s brilliance in its purest form. The Vibe Think breathtaking scenery and local wildlife encounters. We’re a working rural property, so expect wide-open pastures, the occasional alpaca or sheep wandering past, and authentic country charm. Adventure Your Way On the Water: A paradise for boaters, fishers, and birdwatchers. On the Trail: Bushwalk through nature trails or bike straight to the Coorong. Explore Further: Tackle 4WD tracks at Coorong National Park or take a "tasting tour" of Langhorne Creek, located about a 1-hour drive (approx. 86km) away. The Setup We welcome self-contained campervans, families, and well-behaved pets. Pro Tip: It can get breezy! While campervans have plenty of space, we have a "hidden" sheltered spot between the tree groves that is perfect for 2–3 tents or swags if you want to duck the wind. Seasonal Essentials Getting Here: In winter, 2WDs have no trouble. In summer, the sand gets loose—so bring the 4WD! Campfire Vibes: Fires are welcome outside of Fire Ban Season (typically November to late April). Ready to unplug? Your island escape is waiting.

The RV while secluded is still only seven minutes from the heart of Meningie giving you the best of both worlds. In the town you can stock up on supplies at the Foodland, eat out at the café or grab a drink at Freshies and sample the local cuisine. Venture a little further to discover the Coorong National Park or simply hang up the car keys and spend your afternoons lazing in the hammock (DIY hammock kept in caravan storage until needed) and your evenings with a bottle of wine gathered around the warm firepit as you watch the breathtaking sunsets reflect across the water. So if you are looking for something a little different than a traditional hotel room that offers complete privacy, peace and quiet while still only minutes from civilisation, look no further than this unique farmstay and waterfront RV for your next escape from the city!

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite offers a tranquil setting with beautiful views of a serene lake and surrounding farm animals, making it a peaceful retreat for families and solo travelers alike. Many guests appreciate the easy access and spacious parking options, though some mention the wind can be strong near the lake. While the presence of farm animals like alpacas adds a unique touch, a few reviewers felt the site could be better maintained and found it slightly overpriced for the basic amenities offered. Overall, it's a good choice for those seeking a quiet, off-grid experience close to nature.
