Vineyards and views await in the heart of the Adelaide Hills.
As the largest town in the Adelaide Hills, Mount Barker is the gateway to one of South Australia’s most popular wine regions. Just a half-hour drive from Adelaide, this leafy wine region sits amid the rolling hills of the Mount Lofty Ranges and has more than 60 wineries to tempt wine lovers. If sipping cool-climate pinot noir wines, taking scenic bike rides among the vineyards, and hopping between charming market towns sounds like your kind of country getaway, then Mount Barker makes the perfect basecamp. You can admire the views from the summit of Mount Barker, enjoy bushwalking and bird-watching at Keith Stevenson Park, and pick up picnic supplies from the Adelaide Hills Farmers Market, held each Saturday. Camping lets you get back to nature, and there are several options to choose from, whether you prefer a rural Hipcamp with vineyard views, or a holiday park or caravan park with powered sites and full facilities.
