LET'S GO CARAVAN<br />

& CAMPING IN SA<br />

South Australia is a state of contrasts <strong>and</strong> surprises. There are 11<br />

distinct regions to explore, encompassing everything from rugged<br />

coasts to s<strong>and</strong>y swimming beaches, wine country, the mighty<br />

Murray River <strong>and</strong> the awesome Outback.<br />

Anyone with a passion for nature <strong>and</strong> wildlife is particularly well<br />

catered for. The state features vast expanses of untouched<br />

beaches <strong>and</strong> wilderness with some stunning national <strong>and</strong><br />

conservation parks along the way.<br />

South Australia’s popularity as a travel destination also has a lot<br />

to do with good living. Fresh, quality food, award winning wines,<br />

vibrant arts festivals <strong>and</strong> major national <strong>and</strong> international<br />

sporting events are part of the locals’ lifestyle.<br />

Eat <strong>and</strong> drink your way around world famous wine regions<br />

such as the Barossa <strong>and</strong> Clare Valley, visit Adelaide’s vibrant<br />

Central Market or relax on one of the city’s many multicultural<br />

café strips.<br />

This guide contains information on each region, along with<br />

extensive road maps, detailed caravan park facilities listings, <strong>and</strong><br />

some great articles on things to see <strong>and</strong> do around the state.<br />

In current times, <strong>and</strong> with more travellers embarking on self-drive<br />

holidays in Australia, it’s a good idea to plan ahead <strong>and</strong> book your<br />

stay. Of course, if you get caught up in the ambience of your SA<br />

holiday <strong>and</strong> don’t quite know where you may l<strong>and</strong> for the night,<br />

you can always ring ahead <strong>and</strong> see if the next park on your<br />

journey has a cabin or site available.<br />

Contact details <strong>and</strong> comprehensive information for each caravan<br />

park appears in each region or, for a particular town, check the<br />

alphabetical index on page 53. More information on parks is also<br />

available at www.sa-parks.com.au<br />

PET FRIENDLY<br />

PARK<br />

Some important things to remember<br />

when travelling with your pet:<br />

• Always ring ahead to check your pet will be welcome. <strong>Caravan</strong><br />

parks that accept pets will have conditions, e.g. only certain<br />

animals, or pets only during peak periods.<br />

• Pets are generally accepted on sites <strong>and</strong> in your accommodation.<br />

They will usually not be allowed in cabins or in amenities areas.<br />

• Some caravan parks now offer pet friendly cabin accommodation.<br />

Parks that offer this, will state this in their listing.<br />

• When contacting the park, talk to park managers about pet rules<br />

<strong>and</strong> pet friendly common areas. Some parks offer spaces that<br />

allow owners <strong>and</strong> pets to socialise off-site.<br />

• Pets will not enjoy their holiday if left unattended, so if you are<br />

leaving the park, always take your pet with you.<br />

• Remember to keep your pet on a leash at all times <strong>and</strong> to clean<br />

up any mess immediately.<br />

• Barking dogs can be a nuisance <strong>and</strong> detract from people's<br />

enjoyment, please keep your dog quiet when staying in a park.<br />

• Please be aware that other people in the park are also on holiday,<br />

keep the impact of your pet to a minimum so that it does not<br />

detract from other people's enjoyment.<br />

• <strong>Guide</strong> dogs, hearing dogs, <strong>and</strong> assistance dogs are allowed<br />

different conditions to pets. Owners of such dogs are also<br />

advised to ring ahead <strong>and</strong> check with the caravan park.
