Pichi Richi Park

Pichi Richi Park is our family owned and operated property, 13km south of Quorn in the heart of the Pichi Richi Pass.
We have plenty of campsites, including bush campsites that are secluded and private, along with campsites that are much closer to our bathrooms, group accommodation, kitchens and bush cabins.
Here at Pichi Richi Park, there are a number of signposted walking tracks ranging in distance from a few km up to a 10km+ loop. The Heysen Trail comes through our property for nearly 7km and some of our own walking tracks link with the Heysen as it meanders through our property.
You can also ride your mountain bike around and the Mawson Bike Trail is not far away.
We have over 1,000 acres of land around our accommodation that we do not graze as we are allowing this beautiful piece of Aussie outback to return to its original and pristine state.
We are not a caravan park, so all campers and caravanners that come here get a fair bit of space and nobody is on top of anyone else.
Quorn is our local town and is 13km away to the north. Quorn has 2 pubs, a number of cafes and a little supermarket that is open from 7am to 8pm 7 days a week.

Enjoy the tranquility of private campsites, each equipped with a fire pit (seasonal) and access to non-potable water, along with the convenience of two full flush toilets. 

Ideally located as a hub for exploring the Mid North, you can set off on scenic day trips and return to camp for a sunset dinner by the fire. For those wanting a night off from cooking, the historic Tarcowie Pub is just five minutes down the road, serving cold beers and hearty meals. Whether you’re spotting wildlife at dawn or relaxing under a star-filled sky, this is the perfect escape for nature lovers seeking adventure and tranquility. 

Bush campers should come prepared to be self-sufficient. While toilets and non-potable water are available, there are no shower facilities or drinking water provided. However, glampers at Canoee's Realm can enjoy full amenities for a more comfortable stay.

Maverick's Rest - Alpaca Farm Stay

Welcome to Maverick's Rest, a serene escape tucked away on the outskirts of Peterborough, South Australia, and connected with our working alpaca farm and newly planted lavender

Only 700m off the main Petersburg Road (entry off Dawson Road), Our bush campsites offer a blend of natural beauty, and rustic charm, with each site positioned amongst old native pines, offering views of both sunrise and sunset, along with the open farmland, distant hills, and animals doing their thing.

Each site features a level pad to keep you out of the dirt and the prickles, while defining your spot. There are also firepits and bins on each site.

We currently require all campers to be fully self-contained, providing their own toilet, water, and power for a true off-grid experience. We are a work-in-progress and constantly chipping away at making things even better!

The centrepiece of the campsite is an absolutely stunning stone ruin. We wish the walls could talk to tell us its story! We are currently working on making this space accessible to all our guests. In the mean time fell free to have a look through, it makes for gorgeous photos.

We are pet-friendly. Please note that all animals must be supervised and kept on a lead at all times. As a working farm, we ask that you refrain from allowing your animals to interact with ours for everyone's safety and peace of mind.

Only 2.5km from the centre of the main street, use us as a base to explore Peterborough and surrounds.

PS: Maverick was the name of our favourite stud male alpaca, and the dad to many of our babies. He was on TV, in weddings and the star of many a photo shoots. A true character, you would have loved him - just like we hope you love this campsite.
