Campbell’s Cove

1 site · RV, Tent64 acres · Deep Creek, SA

The block is 64 acres, all to yourself. It is coastal and looks across the channel to Kangaroo Island. There are two valleys suitable to set up camp, both with access to the ocean. There are no facilities here, you must be completely self sufficient. You must also have offroad tyres to manage the roads both on approach and on site. We have taken care to clean the beaches and land of rubbish, please ‘leave only footprints.’ The nearest public toilets are a couple of km away just before Talisker mine. Open fires are risky to wind gusts and not permitted from november through feb when the grass is dry - please ask if you are not sure. All proceeds from camping go towards our revegetation project which aims to clean up, protect and rewild the land. We began by fencing out the neighbouring sheep and are now trialling different plant species to see what best tolerates this difficult environment. As a result w please ask you to refrain from moving the ground cover (or using it for firewood) because it plays an important role in slowing erosion and regenerating the soil. The land is locked and we must arrange for a key hand over, easiest from Adelaide. Dogs are welcome, although there are some large kangaroos on site which deserve caution. We are coming into snake season and have seen multiple brown snakes in recent weeks, please be careful! This site is dangerous and not suitable for small children. There are high cliffs and unstable edges…. However it is also spectacular, rugged, remote and isolated.

The farm was leased for a few years, up until the recent 2019-2020 bush fires. Since the bush fires our family has decided to move back onto the farm and start the rebuild. We will be continuing with the sustainable farming practices and want to give people the opportunity to stay and enjoy the west end. No need to bring your own tent, stay with up to three people in a suspended tent! We can also provide bedding. Should you have a group larger than three, where some people can bring their own gear, we have space for them too. We have a hot outdoor shower, and compost toilet. Pets are also welcome, however must not be in the tent, and must not harass the wildlife. The suspended tent sleeps 3 people maximum. If you have any additional people who bring their own camping gear they are welcome to book our other listing 'Jump Off Road Camp (own gear).' The surrounding paddocks are home to our cattle that pass through occasionally, and during the afternoons you have the opportunity to observe the abundant wild life that come to life, as well as a healthy bird life among the trees. On your stay you have the choice of enjoying the walks and hikes through out the De'mole river and Cape Torrens that are at your door step, go sightseeing in the national park, the De Tong Ling Stupa, Billy Goat water falls or even Western River Cove or just relax and enjoy the serenity of your suspended tree tent experience.Either way, we hope you enjoy what the west end has to offer. Flinders Chase National Park is 40km via bitumen road or 27 km via Shackle road. Keep up to date with road closures through Flinders Chase national park website. Cape Borda Light house is 23km from our farm, there are several hikes in that area such as the Ravine Des Casoars and Harveys return. Keep tabs on their website as the park is closed, however still accessible by foot from the gate. De Tong Ling Stupa is 20km from our farm and is open to the public to visit. Billy Goat waterfalls generally has water flowing through mid winter, but regardless is a beautiful easy hike that comes alive with fungus and orchids early winter and during spring. Be mindful we are 45 minutes from the closest fuel station, at Parndana, and most places close early so it would be wise to be well prepared before getting here. 15km of the road is dirt, just take it easy if you're in a 2wd, and be aware of eagles, kangaroos and wallabies.

Emu Bay Hideaway, Kangaroo Island

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Emu Bay, SA

30 hectares of peace, mainly vegetated with Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaved Mallee (Eucalyptus cneorifolia, a nationally-protected ecological community). Kangaroos and wallabies are in abundance. It has a wonderful feeling of remoteness and seclusion yet is so close to iconic Emu Bay. Those with 4WD may choose sites overlooking Shoal Bay towards Kingscote. Alternatively, you may set up camp anywhere on the property. There is even one under-cover position with a concrete floor for those concerned about the weather. There are no amenities so guests need to be 100% self-sufficient (including BYO drinking water and toilet) and leave no trace. It is a wild block and only five minutes from the iconic Emu Bay, where the white sandy beach runs for 4kms, most of which is backed by 10 to 20-meter-high dunes. It is one of the best beaches on the island with crystal-clear water. Check with me before lighting a campfire - this depends on the season and risk. Dogs are permitted if well controlled (register visiting dogs with local council). IMPORTANT: I have very limited access to the Internet, only periodically every few days, if that, therefore, I may take some time to respond to inquiries. It is preferred that if you have questions, you can text or call me, Rosalie, on 0490485123. Please note - all bookings MUST still go through the Hipcamp system, no exceptions. Kangaroo Island is serviced by regular ferry - check SeaLink for details.

The property is located 14km from Penneshaw and the ferry terminal. 6km from browns beach, American beach, and 5km back to Hog Bay road, the main tarred road on the island heading from Penneshaw towards Kingscote and other areas of the island. It is also located within easy access distances to Cape Willoughby, Dudley and False Cape wines, Sunset winery restaurant, American river, local shops and the Penneshaw end of the island on the Dudley peninsula. Walking tracks and natural camping areas are in the process of being established and available to park up in. Very basic natural environment. There is a main track as you enter the property with a large portion of our land (over half) to your right (east) of this central track. Don't get lost if you go exploring this area! A couple of clear areas just off to the right of this main track to park up and camp in. This is a dry native area so please be very mindful of this while camping, and of the wildlife. (Which is shy). If walking through native veg areas, wear good shoes, take a compass, and tread carefully. There is a lot of limestone, and tracks clear of small rocks are still being established, (although a lot of kangaroo tracks throughout areas). This would ONLY suit self contained campers, as no facilities provided at this stage. Rubbish is also to be taken with you when leaving please, to dispose of at public bins. There are amazing island and ocean views from the far western boundary of the property, with beautiful sunset views, either a short walk west through the trees from the central track, or along the western internal road. (left of main entrance gate). We have a limited rainwater supply in this western boundary area of our land currently, that may be accessed by arrangement at this stage, (with plans to provide a supply to other areas of the land in the future). There is a code lock on the entrance gate to the property, that the code will be advised on bookings. Please keep the gate closed during your stay. Of course, anyone using our main track on our property will be considerate and mindful of anyone else that may be driving along it and obviously drive in a safe and considerate manner. Our main track is a single lane private dirt road which of course you can safely pass another vehicle if need be, with care, and if necessary. Wildlife cross, and use, our internal roads often and regularly, so please drive slowly and carefully on any internal roads. All have native veg on both sides of roads. It is all national park directly across the road to our property on Doug road also, so watch out for wildlife on roads leading to our property entrance. (as with all roads on the island). Drive safely and enjoy your stay!! Please notify us if any issues or questions at all during your stay on our land, and we will be happy to assist.

Flinders Chase offers stunning coastal landscapes, vast areas of wilderness and a variety of recreational opportunities. There is a network of walking trails throughout the park providing you with numerous bushwalking opportunities. REMARKABLE ROCKS Remarkable Rocks is an impressive cluster of sculpted granite boulders perched on a huge rounded granite dome that drops steeply away to the surging seas some 70 metres below. ADMIRALS ARCH Admirals Arch is a spectacular archway formed by the relentless waves pounding the cliffs and cutting a path through the cliffs. There is also a colony of New Zealand Fur seals that bask on the rocks below Admirals Arch. Plus so much more to see and do! Limited phone reception. Sorry, no pets.

Caravan parks in Kangaroo Island guide

Overview

Arguably the most quintessentially Aussie of islands, at least by name, Kangaroo Island has idyllic beaches, wild bushlands, and wildlife sightings in equal measure. With no public transport on the island, bringing your motorhome or caravan over from the mainland—a 45-minute ferry ride from Cape Jervis—is a smart idea, and campers have plenty of options. Of the seven state-run campgrounds, only two have powered sites available, but all provide toilets, BBQ areas, and picnic benches, while the island's holiday parks and caravan parks have powered sites with free wifi, fire pits, and full amenities. Alternatively, opt for a private Hipcamp and escape the crowds at a rural farm stay or remote bush camp. Wherever you choose, you'll never be more than a short drive from the off-road trails of the Flinders Chase National Park, the white-sand beaches of Vivonne Bay and Snellings Beach, and the wildlife hotspot of Seal Bay.
