Yorke Peninsula camping/fishing

G'day Rolande,
We live in Kadina and if you're coming by this way, it'd be great to meet you for a coffee or a beer etc.
Dpending on whether you are coming through when it's holiday season or not, there are a large number of c/van parks (but they're all booked up during school holidays etc).
Then there is beach camping if you'd prefer. We know of a shed at Cape Elizabeth, but it's state of repair/disrepair changes by the month and we haven't been there for many months.
We recently camped about 5 klm south of Pt Victoria in the sand dunes on private property, but there is access from the beach and you could camp there too if you wanted to approach it from the beach direction.....anywhere along there is pretty good as long as it's not too windy.
As for fishing I'm sorry but I'm definitely the wrong bloke to ask. I just checked the yellow pages and there are a number of charter boats available.
A1 Fishing Charters 8825 1810
Blue Fin charters 88252880
Capt Cook Fishing Charters 8862 1557
plus several others.
When were you planning your trip ?
Cheers
Roachie

We dropped into Port Victoria the other day while staying on Yorke's for a week. PV impressed us a whole lot (it was nice day but) - fishing folk are dead serious overe there - big boats and lots of them - serious boat ramp too - lovely holiday homes abound - nice caravan park - lawns etc - great jetty - sits on top of a huge ocean meadow - seagrass forever - should be good for squid and gar etc. Wardang Island nearby. The again, we dropped into Port Broughton this time last year too - very serious fishing country up there as well - marina, serious boats, charters, shops, pub, jetty, great caravan park etc. Its a toss up for us.

I can personally recommen Butlers Beach just near Marion Bay. It's 15 min drive to town where thereis ajetty, a pub, fule and a general store. Butlers beah is a working farm but is on the coast and for about $10 a car you can camp on the hills above the beaches. Great shore fishing and for a couple of $ there are showers near the main entry.. (its about 6k's of beach fron camping) can get busy but you can usually find a secluded spot. try a google search also known as Hillocks Drive bush camp.

Would have to recommend Pt Hughes. Very nice c/park right on the foreshore, 1 min walk to jetty, and at least half a doz charters working out of there, about 1.5 mins walk from c/park.
Cheers Peter
