Camping in Yorke Peninsula guide

Overview

With more than 700 km of coastline to explore, the Yorke Peninsula has some of South Australia’s best coastal camping spots, and it’s just a 2-hour drive from Adelaide. Whether you’re road-tripping in your motorhome along the Coastal Way, hopping between surf beaches, or exploring more than 500 km of “Walk the York” hiking and cycling trails—this boot-shaped peninsula is full of outdoor adventures. Campers have options, too. Check into one of the many holiday parks or caravan parks dotted along the coast, snag a spot at a tranquil Hipcamp, or pick up a bush camping permit for access to the peninsula’s 19 bush camping areas.

Where to go

North Yorke Peninsula

The coastal towns of Port Broughton, Port Hughes, and North Beach are the northern gateways to the Yorke Peninsula, surrounded by sleepy fishing villages and tranquil beaches. Discover the region’s copper mining heritage with a tour of the Moonta Mines, marvel at the pink waters of Bumbunga Lake, or camp right on the beach at Wallaroo.

East Coast

Wheat fields, vineyards, and salt farms pepper the sandy shores of the east coast, looking out across the St Vincent Gulf. Base yourself in Ardrossan, Port Vincent, or Stansbury, and split your time between the rolling countryside and the coast. The white-sand beaches and gentle waters of Black Point are a hit with families, while the bush campsites at Parara and Wattle Point are ideal for adventurous campers.

West Coast

Some of the Yorke Peninsula’s best bush camping locations are found along the west coast, on the shores of the Spencer Gulf. Dive into the region’s maritime heritage at Port Victoria, discover the shipwrecks around Wardang Island, or explore the rocky coast along the Walk the Yorke trail.

South Yorke Peninsula

At the southern tip of the Yorke Peninsula, Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park is the peninsula’s star attraction, where you’ll find sandy beaches, surf breaks, and soaring coastal cliffs. Once you’ve enjoyed surfing, fishing, and hiking, you can camp right by the beach at Cable Bay or Casuarina. Other popular spots include Butler’s Beach, Marion’s Bay jetty, and the Edithburgh tidal pools.
