Flinders Ranges

Hi Ian. Chambers Gorge is a good camp spot. A bit rough getting in as some of the road runs up the bed of the creek but should be OK with care. There are two camp areas at Arkaroola village. One has facilities but the other is more of a bush camp. I don't think there are powered sites where the facilities are but I may be wrong. We were there last year but in the motel area and only drove past the camping grounds.

There are some great sites within the Flinders Ranges National Park. My two favourites are Acraman and Cambrian in the Bunyeroo Valley. Acraman might be a bit tight for a van but you should fit into Cambrian. There are also great, van suitable sites along Brachina gorge such as Teamsters and Brachina East. Also Koolamon in the Aroona Valley and Trezona Campsite. These are National Park sites so attract a minimal camping fee. BYO firewood from outside the park though.

Enjoy. Mick

Hi Ian,
We'll be in the area from the 23 Sep till about the 28th, just after the National gathering at Silverton, so we are researching places as well. We've only just started our search. It was timely that you started this thread.
Yell out if our paths cross, we'll be in an 80 Series cruiser pulling an old Jayco Swan
Fysh has taken a month off work, so after the Gathering we plan to check out the Flinders, Adelaide, Great ocean rd, then head to Dubbo, to take the kids to the zoo and then home.
And if we don't bump into each other, enjoy your travels.
Cheers

Hiya,

When we were in the Flinders, we chanced across this farm, with the most lovely people. he even gave us a tyre to get to where we needed to drive to get a new one.

They have a cabin and serviced buildings, but they also have lovely areas with just space to camp in for a very minimal fee.

I'd highly recommend going to see them. :)
