Coastal caravan campers can escape the crowds along the wild Eyre Peninsula.
Northwest of Adelaide, the wild landscapes of the Eyre Peninsula provide a spectacular backdrop for a coastal road trip. Drive your campervan or caravan between Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, and Baird Bay, hopping out to swim with dolphins and sea lions, take a whale-watching cruise or shark-diving excursion, and tuck into fresh-from-the-ocean fish, seafood, and oysters. For coastal camping with spectacular views, you can't beat the rustic campgrounds of Lincoln National Park and Coffin Bay National Park, but facilities are minimal, and many are accessible by 4WD only. For powered sites with full amenities, check into one of the holiday parks or caravan parks around Tumby Bay, Port Lincoln, or Coffin Bay, all popular bases from which to explore. Alternatively, escape the crowds at a private Hipcamp on a quiet country farm or venture inland to hike, camp, and stargaze amid the rugged landscapes of Gawler Ranges National Park.
