Beachport SA area camping

thanks, will give them a call

thanks, have done a bit of beach driving but never with a camper on the back, so should make it interesting. we are really looking forward to spending the week there. do you think we should be able to fill the week in there?

thankyou. we aren't a fan of crowds so maybe around carpenter rocks might be a better option. how did you find the sand driving whilst you were there? we know to lower the pressures right down and have a set of max trax between us. you wouldn't have any pictures of the camp sites you have stayed at? have tried googling some images but have had little success. thanks again.

Looked at that cup weekend, it's only for Vic, so crowds won't generally be as bad as a local long weekend . . . also being in the area for a week, it'll be a tad busy on the weekend nearer Beachport - Robe, but maybe do the weekend up through Canunda, then head up to BP and do the drive to Robe week days.

See a few TR's done for both trips, some pics there too.

Camps, not many pics of these, but Geltwood Beach is good base for trailers, can get in there from decent roads to the north, and you could base trailers there and do the lower half back to camp, then move on with trailers to Southend, and then 20 mins to Beachport on the blacktop (good cara parks there with facs if desired, or on to Three Mile Bend camp), or camp Nal-a-wort or Kotgee camps just shy of Southend.

Pretty sure then you'll see a few vehicles Beachport - Robe, but not too many :)

Beaches and driving.
Should be fine, run 15psi all round, trailers too.
Geltwood Beach is about 5km long, you can detour around it when it is too soft, has a bit of a rep at winter sometimes (possibly moreso with trailers too) but generally I have had no issues with it, and Nov the beaches are pretty firm and good down the SE.

Only other beaches you may want to try without trailers are up in Little Dip CP, these are Erringtons and next along Little Dip beaches.
VERY soft most of the year, and don't leave the top tracks, stay as high as you can.
These are angled beaches, and they can suck you down to torwards the water.
If you camped at Old Man Lake or Little Dip campsites, you could secure you trailers, drive down the track on the east boundary of the park to Erringtons, along that over the point, along and exit Little Dip far end, then up the track to pick up trailers again and continue through the dunes track.

Always drive on the ebbing tide, and not within say a couple of hours of high tide, or at all on an incoming if there's weather blowing onto the beaches.

I strongly recommend using a sand flag, one saved me from a head on once.
Should really be mandatory in there.

Overall, you will find the coastline stunning, a real gem piece of coast.
The dunes and beaches are awesome fun to drive.

If you like fishing, take a rod, often Mulloway or Salmon about, as well as Whiting, Flathead, etc.
