Yorke Peninsula Camping
Go camping on the Yorke Peninsula
Your alarm clock is an unbeatable mix of crashing waves and twittering birdsong. Your breakfast is only a baited hook away. Hardly anyone is around. Welcome to camping on the Yorke Peninsula.
Head to Innes National Park and its seven campgrounds. Surf beaches, historic ruins, clifftop walks and sandy coves are just some of the natural attractions. A fee applies to enter Innes National Park, so remember to display your permit.
Camping grounds
On the Yorke Peninsula, there are many free camping options. Balgowan Beach, The Gap, The Bamboos and Tiparra Rocks are all free campsites but you’ll need a permit. Bring your own water, firewood and a telescope too because the night sky is amazing.
Pondalowie Bay has 50 campsites, suitable for car based camping, caravans and motorhomes. You’ll find toilets and shared barbecue facilities but campfires are banned.
It’s free entry but bring plenty of water and wood to Wauraltee Beach near Port Victoria and Barkers Rocks near Minlaton.
Yorke Peninsula also has over 30 caravan parks that offer camping facilities.
Fishing spots
There are great places to stay if you are going on a fishing holiday. Around Warooka there’s Burners Beach, Foul Bay, Swincers Rock and Gleesons Landing. Burners and Swincers both have toilet facilities and boat ramps. You’ll need to bring water and firewood.
South of Yorketown, bring water and firewood to Kemp Bay, Mozzie Flat and Sturt Bay. Kemp Bay is a popular fishing spot.
Goldsmith’s Beach near Edithburgh is also great for fishing and Troubridge Hill is not far away.
Hillocks Drive at Butler's Beach is perfect for bush camping. The long coastline provides great hideaway spots, along with campsites equipped with eco toilets and rainwater.

Go surfing
Surfers might like to check out Gravel Bay, not far from Corny Point. For something different, try Shell Beach, Casuarina or Cable Bay.
Remember, most campsites are first come, first served.
