Very handy and quiet.

Nice quiet campsite with amazing bush camp kitchen. Lots of sites and might get busy at times but only one other camper while we were there. Well protected from the wind that stopped us staying closer to the coast.

Camping at Coodlie

Super quiet and the host was lovely. I really enjoyed the drive to the beach and the 4wd track around the headland. I was way too scared to climb down the cliff to the water but it looked lovely from the top of the cliff.

Fantastic Spot

We just got back from Coodlie Park Eco Retreat, and honestly, it was such a chill place. Christina and Paul, the owners, were really welcoming and friendly, which made a great first impression. The campsite has a bunch of different spots to pitch a tent etc. and they’ve even got these neat little shelters for swag setups. The best part was probably the camp kitchen—big enough to cook up a storm and seats around 30-40 people comfortably. It turned into a great spot to hang out and chat with a couple of other guests who were around. Speaking of other guests, there weren’t many when we were there, so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The kids absolutely loved it—tons of space for them to explore and ride their bikes around safely. It’s also driving distance to Venus Bay Ceduna and Elliston, which was perfect for some day trips to the beach and local spots. We were there from April 16th to 25th and really made the most of being so close to everything. Christina and Paul have really set up something special. It’s laid-back, friendly, and right in the middle of some stunning bushland and scenery. If you’re after a spot where you can relax and the kids can run wild, Coodlie Park’s definitely worth checking out. Highly recommend for a family getaway or anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature.

We loved the bush camp and the camp kitchen and bucket showers we're unique. As a ex 20 year military veteran the showers and toilets took me back to many Australian Army training camps . Don't come expecting 5 star modern just appreciate the uniqueness of this camp and country side. Host Paul went out of his way to show his property to us and the short cut to Woolshed Caves and cliff top circuit. Unfortunately never got to meet his better half.

Great Easter Hideaway 🐣 ⛺️ ❤️

The space provided is awesome. We were just one of several campers (some solo like us and others in groups) and we all had space. The sites were protected from the coastal weather. It's definately a bush camp, but the camp kitchen, camp fire area & toilets were all well maintained, clean & accessible. Great value for money. The hosts were very friendly, helpfull with things to see & do, and were up for a chat about the property & their journey. So good to see a young family so engaged in doing life. The location was central for exploring the Eyre Peninsula from Elliston to Port Kenny. The cliff drive and beach access on the property made this a unique spot to explore by car, foot & bicycle.
