Free camping at Flinders Ranges

Came through that region last week on my way back to WA - pretty sure the ban on fires ended on the 15th April and I used the Wikicamps app to find camping areas (worked well from WA across to Vic). Can anyone else confirm the fire ban dates?

Parachilna Gorge is about the only place - between Parachilna Pub & Blinman

Blinman Pub is great, good food and the owners are really nice to deal with, there is no "All Day Grazing" at Parachilna.

cheers

As mentioned, the lengthy Parachilna Gorge provides plenty of free camping opportunity.
Generally, I think Flinders region camping works as......the National Park camping is naturally all fee based.... the rest of the region is pastoral lease (permission required of course)....except for immediate roadside clearings, where one might 'seek respite' from one's arduous journey !
Fire ban ends April 30 this year, according to:

Hi there Santta
If you are heading up towards Arkaroola, then Chambers Gorge is a great place to camp. About 9km of dirt road from the turnoff which is 63km north east of Blinman. There are a number of areas where you can camp and you do need to take everything you need in with you and bring all rubbish out of course. Some good walks to do there too. Hubby and I stopped there for two nights back in 2011 and enjoyed it very much. Stunning outback scenery too.

Do you need a Parks pass for Parachilna gorge? Think you do.

Hi Santta

Free camping in the Flinders now is quite restricted compared to what it was like years ago. As well as the above replies, another great little spot to camp, and well worth the drive in are at the Nuccaleena Mine Site, which is accessed from the Glass Gorge Road.

The Glass Gorge Road is accessed either by driving straight out of Blinman, or from the Parachilna Gorge Road.

Enjoy the great Flinders area, as there is so much to see.


Cheers

Thanks for all the feedback everybody its been really helpful.

If you are going to Wilpena or any of the nice drives (or short walks etc) in the Nat Pk, you'll be paying access fees anyway, so might as well camp in a few spots while in the region.
Brachina Ck is particularly nice.
