Family hobby farm on six green acres in the historical town of Clarendon (Toondilla), just half an hour south of Adelaide. Set in a gully with a winter creek (Willow Creek) running through (dry in warmer months). Conveniently located within walking distance to the main street of Clarendon - five minutes to the Bakery and 10 minutes to the Royal Oak Hotel and General Store!
The property offers the best views of Clarendon via a short walk to the top paddock. There is a limit of 2 private, protected campsites near the creek, each well-maintained and level, with scattered gum trees that provide lovely shade in the morning and afternoon.
Camp Toondilla is set up for self-contained campers who bring their own camp toilet and take all waste with them when they go. Well-behaved pets are welcome.
There may also be a chance to feed the sheep and collect eggs (seasonal).
Plenty of options in the area to keep the outdoor enthusiast busy, including: nearby wineries (some dog friendly), beaches (Moana and Aldinga/Silver Sands can be driven on), reservoirs (Mt Bold - hiking and views) and (Happy Valley - hiking, running, kayaking, fishing), Onkaparinga National Park and Scott Creek Conservation Park, ForestrySA land (including TreeClimb, Bone Gully MTB and parkrun on Saturdays at The Avenues - Kuitpo (Your host is the Event Director).

This is a beautiful shady spot. Only room for two camps with plenty of room. We booked one night and stayed three. Delightful family took me koala hunting, but alas no koalas. Definitely stay again.
Enjoyed camping here in the scenic surrounds of Clarendon. Good flat ground to pitch a tent and plenty of space to set up camp and park your vehicle. Steven is a good host and will make you feel welcome and share his knowledge of the local area
We loved our stay at Steve’s place. Its a level grassed site surrounded by trees. The 2 sites are 50m apart but with all the trees around it we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere and so private and peaceful. There is a awesome doggy walk park and oval down the hill not far which was great to walk our doggy and let him have a good run around on the oval, with a stopover at the Clarendon bakery on the way back up the hill.
Steve is a really nice fella and such a helpful host for people like us that haven’t stayed in the area before, to give us tips on where to go or how to get to places we were interested in.
Thanks Steve, we would love to come back and stay again next time we are in Clarendon.
Top spot
Steve was a great host! He went above and beyond with us and our kids. The kids loved the zip line and we definitely appreciated the local knowledge and help with booking future nights of our trip. Such a quiet and secluded area that was still close enough to enjoy what Adelaide had to offer.
Great peaceful camp, both sites are on the one area but heaps of room for both to be private. Kangaroos, koalas and lots of birds. Owner friendly and gave some good tips about local area
We loved our stay at Toondilla. Steve is a great host and gave us very clear directions 👍 we would love to stay again one day. Loved the quaint historic town of Clarendon. Very private camp spots!
