    Beautiful and quite camping to spend the night, the river is next to it and you can go to the beach 5 min walking. Pretty cover for the wind with the mountains. I highly recommend this camping, cash only.

    The quietest of all the campsites at KI, which I liked. Lots of kangaroos in the hills. However, it’s nothing more than a gravel car park with a few tables. expensive for the lack of ammenities. EFTPOS not accepted here.

    This place is super remote and awesome. You can clearly see the impacts of the bushfires which is kind of sad to see. The walk down to the secluded beach is nice and quick

    No reception, faraway from everything which makes the place perfect for a getaway. 15$/2 per night The bbq is clean and drop toilet is ok too. Water is available here as well ( not for drinking) We had the whole beach and a sky full of stars for ourselves. Absolutely stunning!

    Stunning place to camp. Very quiet and peaceful and fab views from the beach. Good clean toilet and clean BBQ area too. Lots of kangaroos around in the morning :)

    The location is not on the tourist routes of Kangaroo Island.. Your car will end up red because of the dirt road. But I end up having a private bay (actually shared it with a lovely Ozzie couple) and a few encounters with wildlife along the road! The campsite itself is along a river with a view at the bay.
