    This is our third time here. Good overnight stop, fairly quiet if you park well away from the entrance. Pub and bakery nearby and not much else.

    The GPS point is not precise but easy to find. There are plenty of spaces, the toilets are clean, there is a children's playground and picnic tables. There is a bakery and a bar not far away. Suitable for one night but very noisy with cars passing nearby and lots of birds. We were in a roof tent.

    Great camping place. If you arrive in the dark: you can’t camp in the oval ;) but highly recommend

    I am grateful that this spot exists! It also has very clean flushed toilets with soap and toilet paper. I went further down the oval so that I'd be at a reasonable distance from the trucks and all the highway traffic passing by. Unfortunately even at night they were on the road and I was hearing them all. More importantly, there is a serious pest issue. I cleaned hundreds or thousands of earwig and massive ants from my camping stuff and car. I wouldn't go back but stay anywhere else.

    Lovely spot with plenty of shade and parking all round the oval with toilets at the entrance and reception all over. Flies not to bad, especially with a breeze, no mozzies. A cracking bakery and pub, both within 200m. For free, you can't ask for much more, leave a donation if you can.

    Good for a stopover. Lot of room, sites all around the oval. Quiet and in the town thank you Tarlee. (Can be muddy if rainy)

    It’s a bit hard to find but look for the old rustic oval field. Good shade, toilets ok, 30+ mins to Barossa. Not bad. Did the Kapunda mine trail on the way to Barossa.

    Peaceful, shady, clean toilets. ENTRY down right hand side of Tarlee Institute building, at the rail crossing!

    Nice spot to camp. If you go around the oval to the far side there is less road noise and you’ll be in the morning sun - good when it’s cold ! Db
