Spear Creek Holiday Park

115 sites · RVs, Tents21000 acres · Wilmington, SA

Spear Creek is more than just another Holiday Park. Set immediately adjacent to the Western slopes of the Flinders Ranges in the middle of a 21,000 acre working sheep station providing privacy, security and an experience like no other. Spear Creek is located 25 kilometres south-east of Port Augusta, only 12km off Highway 1. Our eastern boundary follows the summit of the ranges north from Horrocks Pass, with walking trails through deep gorges to range top views of upper Spencer Gulf. The Holiday park is nestled amongst 600 year old river red gums adjacent to the ranges. You may meet any of the three different species of kangaroos, echidnas, or 85 species of birds including wedge-tail eagles and peregrine falcons who call Spear Creek home. The owner operators of this tourism business are fourth generation, whose families have been farmers and graziers on this land for over 130 years.

8 sites · RVs, Tents2000 acres · Quorn, SA

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. Feel free check out our website at www.pichirichipark.com.au and we look forward to hosting you here one day at Pichi Richi Park.

Caravan parks near Port Augusta guide

Overview

At the head of South Australia’s Spencer Gulf, the small city of Port Augusta is a road and railway junction that’s a convenient stopping-off point on road trips to or from the state capital, Adelaide, and the Eyre Peninsula. Port August is especially attractive to travellers who love the water, as fishing, kayaking, and boating can be enjoyed from here. It’s also close to some inland parks where you can hike in the South Flinders Ranges. There are well-equipped caravan parks around the town, as well as a large free-camping ground outside town, off the Eyre Highway.

Where to go

Mount Remarkable National Park

About 30 miles (50 km) south-east of Port Augusta and toward Adelaide, Mount Remarkable National Park contains some spectacular canyons and is a popular hiking destination. Camping is permitted at campsites within the park, and you must book and pay online in advance. Some campsites are walk-in only and only suitable for tents, while others can accommodate camper trailers and caravans too. Limited cabin and lodge accommodation is available, too.

The Dutchmans Stern Conservation Park

About an hour’s drive north-east of Port Augusta, this conservation park is another attraction for hikers, with many trails that allow you to see the resident flora and fauna. Vehicle camping isn’t permitted in the park but walk-in camping is, west of the Dutchman Range and outside of fire season. There are no campsites or fees so you’ll need to be self-sufficient. A homestead and a rustic old shearers’ quarters also provide accommodation.

Mount Brown Conservation Park

Just east of Port Augusta, this park is home to Mount Brown, one of the highest peaks in the South Flinders Ranges. Climb to the lookout along a 10-mile (15-km) walking track and enjoy canyon views along the way. Camping isn’t permitted within the park so stay in nearby Port Augusta and visit on a day trip.

When to go

The climate in this park of South Australia can be very hot in summer (December to February) and mild in winter (June-August), and the spring and autumn are somewhere in between. Winter, especially July and August, are the most popular times to visit Port Augusta so book in advance if you want to camp at the more popular holiday parks at this time. One of the attractions around Port August is hiking in the South Flinders Range, this is most comfortable outside of the summer, which is also the fire season.
