Located at the end of a bitumen road in the town of Beltana, the campsites are adjacent to the local hall. There are showers, toilets, a free BBQ in the community park , mobile phone coverage and potable water available We are the closest campground to the new Nilpena Ediacara National Park. Beltana is a State Heritage listed town in Adnyamathanha country. Beltana is important as it is the home of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, was influential in the establishment of the Overland Telegraph and was important is the states early settlement. Beltana has survived in spite of the challenges and has an excellent walking trail detailing this history for visitors. There is capacity to have a fire in a communal fire pit, but please bring your own wood. Dogs on leashes welcome. This campsite offers a safe and comfortable place for campers who are travelling through on their holiday and need somewhere to stop overnight, but two nights is recommended to give you a chance to visit this historic town. The town is significant is South Australian history and there is interpretative signage that provides the visitor with an informative trail. Whilst with us visit the new Nilpena Ediacara National Park. We have the closest camping facilities.

Well worth the drive!
Just loved Beltana! Easy short drive in from the hwy to an historic town full of original stone buildings. I was the only van in for the night but the ever-hospitable and friendly Jan still came down and opened up the Hall so I could check out the artwork and enjoy a cold brew, thank you. Fantastic hearing all the plans for renovating and re-opening the Hotel, look forward to a coldie at the front bar on my next visit! Spotless amenities and a very peaceful sleep.

Wonderful old town camping ground.
It was really lovely staying at Beltana village. The town people have done a wonderful job keeping it a going concern as well as creating a camping ground next to the town hall. It certainly raises awareness of the importance of keeping these historic places alive. The camp ground is well laid out and the amenities were great. We also loved all the historical information on all the plaques and boards around the town. We had an early morning walk to cover them all. Jan is a lovely person to deal with and we feel happy to support the Progress Associations of the little towns we have visited. Well done Beltana. Julianne

The town of Beltana is a national treasure. My two days and nights there gave me an authentic taste of outback life (but with the benefits of great mobile coverage and clean facilities). Jan and the townsfolk are to be commended on their hard work in preserving a very unique place. The closeness to Bilpena National Park is significant bonus.
