We asked a couple who have camped regularly under their own steam for the last 2 years to test out this brand new site, and to be as critical as possible. Here is their feedback.

The Scrub Campsite

Inglewood is a 130-acre property currently running beef cattle and sheep. The property has 15 acres of remnant stringy bark scrub which abuts the Heysen Trail. 

This private campsite is contained within the scrub although campers have access to the whole property.  There are 13 bespoke sites available.  The owner has the right to assist campers when choosing their site.  This is determined by factors such as type of accommodation, group size. access to toilet and communal areas, weather and privacy needs.   Specific sites cannot be reserved unless by prior arrangement with the owner.

We offer sites suitable for camper trailers, campervans, , rooftop tents,  tents and swags and pop top caravans   (sorry, no large caravans).

During the non fire ban period all fires must be contained in the fire pits provided.   Please bring firewood if you intend to have a campfire for an extended period or  you may purchase wood for $15 for 20 kgs.

Please note that the campsite has a no noise/music policy after 10pm. Noisy campers has been my biggest complaint so please respect others and adhere to the policy.

Rubbish must be removed by all campers as no bins are available.
