Description
This campground consists of winding tracks, opening up into many smaller campsites - all either looking over the ocean or only a short walk away. Bigger rigs will want to do a reconnaissance walk before committing to driving along every track, especially when campgrounds are busy. Several large open campgrounds are situated along the foreshore, accessed by separate roads (one for the northern campgrounds, one for the southern campgrounds). There are also open spaces furthe rback from the beach, or any number of smaller and more secluded spots throughout where one or two vans (or several tents/swags) can fit comfortably. Please note a couple of the southern spaces are intended for day parking, one of which is to ensure the breeding success of local osprey. These day visitor sites are denoted by signage. Bin Banks are provided at this campground, but they can fill up quickly during busy season. Either take your rubbish with you or drop it off at Warooka, Minlaton or Yorketown bin banks, on your way home. A few toilets are provided, but self-sufficient camping is still encouraged. For petrol, basic supplies or a trip to the Tavern, head to Marion Bay, the closest town – or stock up at Warooka, on your way through. Warooka has many facilities, including: a supermarket, pharmacy, butcher, hotel, petrol station, Visitor Information Outlet and more.

Campers who wish to change campgrounds partway through a permit must first contact Council via info@visityorkepeninsula.com.au or by calling 8832 0000. Camping Council has designated the bush campgrounds as locations where camping is permitted. Campers must purchase Bush Camping permits online or by contacting a Yorke Peninsula Council office before entering a campground. A permit covers one motor vehicle (and caravan/trailer). Each booking is for one campground only, if you wish to change campgrounds during your stay please book each campground separately or alternatively contact Council via info@visityorkepeninsula.com.au or by calling 8832 0000. Camping in other locations on local government land or on any road is prohibited. It is also illegal to camp on any Council-managed foreshore.

Pursuant to Council’s by-laws, ‘camping’ includes setting up a camp, or causing a tent, caravan or motor home to remain on the land for the purpose of staying overnight, whether or not any person is in attendance or sleeps on the land. The maximum booking per permit is 30 consecutive days. After camping on any of the designated camping reserves for a period of 60 consecutive days, you are unable to camp on any designated camping reserve until a further 30 consecutive days has expired. Council may give an extension to this clause upon application by a permit holder. Please set up your van and site in a manner that ensures you are not taking up more space than is appropriate (ie park at a 90-degree angle wherever possible); Council compliance staff reserve the right to ask that you move or condense your site.
