Inglewood is a 130-acre property currently running beef cattle and sheep. The property has 15 acres of remnant stringy bark scrub which abuts the Heysen Trail. This private campsite is contained within the scrub although campers have access to the whole property. There are 13 bespoke sites available. The owner has the right to assist campers when choosing their site. This is determined by factors such as type of accommodation, group size. access to toilet and communal areas, weather and privacy needs. Specific sites cannot be reserved unless by prior arrangement with the owner. We offer sites suitable for camper trailers, campervans, , rooftop tents, tents and swags and pop top caravans (sorry, no large caravans). During the non fire ban period all fires must be contained in the fire pits provided. Please bring firewood if you intend to have a campfire for an extended period or you may purchase wood for $15 for 20 kgs. All bookings will be cancelled if a severe or catastophic fire is forecast by the weather bureau. Campers can claim a refund from Hipcamp A communal camp kitchen, barbecue, rain water and tables available. A composting toilet is available as is a solar and rocket shower system.

(Keen Road entrance) Please note that the campsite has a no noise/music policy after 10pm. Noisy campers has been my biggest complaint so please respect others and adhere to the policy.

Rubbish must be removed by all campers as no bins are available. The whole campsite can be hired exclusively for large groups - contact me direct for booking details and costs.

The Scrub Campsite, Inman Valley

Hop & a skip from Victor Harbour.

Thank you mark and lovely Molly the border collie for having us. The campsite has multiple sites. I am very grateful for access to water and a composting toilet. If you only have a 2wd the drive to the site is fine when it’s dry. Loved seeing all the birds. Lots of shade and camping chairs and tables are available at some sites. We stayed at site 2. If you want to be closer to the amenities I recommend the campsites on the right hand side. Getting there I would not recommend going through mount alma as my partner and i had a heart attack going down a 20% incline.

Easy instructions to follow, host responded in a timely matter and called around to ensure we were settled in. Large sites, good for groups or individuals.

The Scrub Campsite, Inman Valley

The location was incredibly safe and private, with beautiful scenery all around. I was especially impressed with the privacy between each campsite, which made the experience feel very secluded and peaceful. There’s a communal kitchen in the center of the site, which was very convenient, and a play area for kids, making it a great spot for families. Overall, this campsite offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, privacy, and family-friendly amenities. Highly recommended!

"First Come First Serve"?

Overall we had a great experience. Mark is a welcoming host and the campsite is well catered for families with young children given the assortment of toys. Given this visit was our second to The Scrub I had specifically chosen our site because it had a larger flat area with a view of the dam. We were disappointed to discover that the campsite booked was occupied. Mark advised that there was a "first come first serve" policy but to my knowledge this is not stated anywhere. If this be the case then why bother listing specific campsites for reservation. Happy to return, perhaps though to the campsite that was reserved.
