Hi there,

After some opinions on best caravan park to stay in in Adelaide. We will be there early December. Planning to see city sights, Mt Lofty & maybe day trip to Victor Harbour. Also plan to do tram ride to Glenelg. Wondered if the beachside places nicest, but some look close to airport.

Any advice gratefully accepted!

The Adelaide Caravan Park in Portrush Rd IS very good, Small, so book ahead, handy to the City, we walked in many times, easy to find, and clean amenities.
Levi Park is OK also, but a bit harder to find, it is on the bus route, so you dont have to take your car if you dont want to. Both are handy if you are coming/ going toMelboune,Perth, or on the way North
cheers Ringa

Yes Levi Park is good, but if you want the Beach then try west beach caravan park. Best to book soon.

West Beach caravan park is used for a camping show at some stage of the year - have not stayed there but when at the show the place seemed pristine - a very high level of provision and maintenance in all respects. There may be a bit of airport noise at times though. One issue is the proximity of the beach for walks - about 100m !

Adelaide airport has a curfew - no planes I think it's between 11 pm and 6am.

I was in Adelaide Oct 2004 and stayed at Brownhill Creek Caravan Park when we travelled over from the west. Found the park to be nice & clean and the owners very helpful (had problems with the Jack on the Nullabor). I highly recomend this caravan park.

Happy Travelling

The Adelaide Caravan Park is at Hackney, just across the road from the parklands and is the one nearest the city and also highly recommended. otherwise West Beach is good but planes go over all day long, yes, it is near the airport. I would personally recommend the Berri caravan Park cause it 235 kms east of Adelaide, about as close as I like to be. Also a great park. Ask Des Lexic.

West Beach is now called Adelaide Shores. It is the park of choice for Broken Hill locals visiting Adelaide.

The smell of the ocean is enough to get me there. You do hear the airport but it is not intrusive and certainly has never stopped me sleeping.

The park is spacious, green and very well appointed and maintained. It is close to Glenelg, a mate of mine from the Hill walks along the beach to Glenelg regularly. You could take your tram ride into the city rather than the other way.

The locals will hate me saying this but Adelaide is not that big, I grew up in Sydney, so getting around is not a major issue. Haven't stayed at any of the other parks since about 1984 so my knowledge of them is a bit dated.

Moana CP is on the beachfront and about a third of the way to Victor Harbour. Approx. 35kms from city centre.
Beautiful beaches down south too.

I reckon the kingston pk cp is the go. Absolute beachfront, in a decent part of the city, about 10mins from the bay tram. Esaily the best beach on the metro coast.
