Camping!
Turn left just after you enter the 110km/h zone as you head north out of Kingston.
Unique camping experience - enjoy the solitude of your very own stretch of beach. Sand is hard for several kilometres along the beach, but obviously use good judgement when choosing to drive and/or camp on it. (Also be aware of incoming tides!)
Safe swimming and fishing.
Immerse yourself in nature along an extensive network of walking trails, including sections of the Heysen Trail, that reveal the beautiful bushland and rugged terrain of Deep Creek Conservation Park.
The park is the largest remaining block of wildlife habitat on the Fleurieu Peninsula and is home to an array of native wildlife. Look out for western grey kangaroos, short-beaked echidnas or some of the 100 bird species that can easily be heard or spotted when walking in the park. The walking trails also provide spectacular scenery of the Backstairs Passage, Kangaroo Island and the rugged Deep Creek valley.
$19/night unpowered (2 people); $25/night for our family.
All caravan park facilities (including laundry).
Pool available - a short walk away.
Lovely bush setting with own campfires allowed (when no fire ban). Beautiful setting to enjoy the best of nature: bushwalking, photography, painting, 4WDriving. Amazing scenery including mountains and gorges.

Burra Gorge
(World's End)
Adelaide Family
Burra Creek Gorge (world's end) is about 170 k's from Adelaide and sits between Robertstown and Burra in the State's mid north.
The reserve is a beautiful spot. Burra Creek runs through it, and this almost always has water. Massive river gums line the water course and the vegetation alongside the creek is always green and lush, in stark contrast to the surrounding countryside.
Birdlife is prolific, along with kangaroos.
Due to the size of the place, you are bound to be able to find a spot away from everyone else.
It is a relaxing spot to stay for a night or two and it's apparently possible to catch yabbies and trout in the creek at the right time of the year.
Unfortunately you can't have a solid fuel campfire, gas or electric fires only. Spring and Autumn would be good seasons to go. Facilities are almost non existent. There are a couple of long drop toilets along with plenty of bins around the place, but that's about it. Of course, Burra is not too far away if anything is needed.
Camping is available at the Chalks and Rocky Paddock Campground (Mount Crawford Forest) and Chookarloo Campground (Kuitpo Forest). The camping season extends from 1 April until 1 December each year. Please obtain a self-issue camping permit from either the Mount Crawford Forest or Kuitpo Forest Information Centres before you set-up.
Many people try their luck at Fossicking for gold in the local digs, you are permitted to use metal detectors, pans and sluicers, although you must acquire a permit and only dig in the assigned areas.
