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.

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.
