Best place for a Camper Trailer in Coober Pedy..??

I only know of one c/van park in town and have stayed there o/nite on one occasion. It is up the top of town, close (ish) to the highway and, from memory, it was okay.

There may be others, but I am not aware of any.......

Hi Shane
There are a couple of parks in Coober Pedy. We have also stayed a couple of times in the Park that Roachie has mentioned, it is the Stuart Range Caravan Park.

Clean place and you will need about 3x20 cent pieces for a shower.

Its a big trip. I'd stay undergound at the Coober Pedy Experience Motel and leave the CT in the car park - thats what we did.

Have stayed at the Stuart Range Caravan Park a couple of times and it was fine. The park in the middle of town seems to be a bit more popular but there are a lot of undesirables that walk past and can make a bit of noise. As stated, you need a few 20c coins for the shower.

Hello, we have stayed at Riba's a few times and it is great. Camp kitchen and toilet/shower block very clean.In price of the camp site there is a tour of their mine. We would stay there again. Have a great and safe trip. Cheers Marion

We stayed at the Oasis a few months back. Quiet and good facilities. I would stay there again.

Hi

we stayed at the Big 4 Caravan park - Oasis Caravan Park, it was OK, not sure how'd be with a CT, we had a caravan the first time we were there, but last time we were there we stayed in The Underground Motel, parked the trailer in the carpark - it was brilliant..the motel is high above the town with a great view out to the Breakaways.

Was in Coober Pedy a couple of years ago. We stayed with a couple who ran the op-shop there. A bit rough but a lot cheaper than a c'van park. The couple will supply power at a nominal cost and water but there are no showers or toilet facilities. They do not object to you taking a dog there are the area is fully fenced but I do not know if they are still there as they were considering selling up.

The Oasis is a good one.
Good area for C/Ts and campervans. Amentities clean & adequate.

We stayed at the Stuart Range Caravan Park, just off the highway, only two weeks ago with our camper. Part of the park provides shade cloth for vans. Very handy when temperatures are hovering around 40 degrees.

The only park I have stayed at where you have to feed twenty cent pieces into the showers for a three minute soak. I thought it was pretty petty at first, but when I saw the sheer waste of water by some inconsiderate users at other parks, I changed my mind.

Stuart Range also has a Pizza shop onsite... very nice but very popular so order early!

Coober pedy can get very windy.Camping area at Stuart Range is pretty open - can get blown away and covered in dust.Oasis in the middle of town is much more sheltered, but not as roomy. I'd prefer Oasis.

Yes, I have also stayed at both the Start Range and the Oasis Caravan Parks.

I like the Oasis for its convenience.

We have driven from Adelaide to Coober Pedy (with the Camper Trailer) but stayed in one of the on-site cabins with another couple the first night. (didn't want the hassle of packing up for a earlyish departure the next day.

The Oasis is centrally located in the main street and resturants, pub, etc. are within easy walking distance.

Haven't noticed any problem from "undesirables".
The park is secured.

If it was me i would be staying at MARLA as it's a better park behind the hotel.I would never stay in Cooper Pedy for any reason and just another why not Kulgera it has a nice little camp area and cheap as well.cheer's GREENDOG

Thank you to everyone for your replies.

@Greendog - I had thought about alternative stops but reckon Yulara - Coober Pedy / Stop overnight / Coober Pedy - Port Pirie or Booleroo Centre / stop overnight, would be the best run on the road..

Still not sure, but as I will be securing two swags and and a bike to the top of the Camper Trailer, I am leaning towards maybe not using the C/T and leaving it parked in a carpark whilst we sleep inside a room / cabin, ready for an early get away the next day.
