Featured Lists

Coorong Camping & Caravanning

The Coorong region encompasses a 130-kilometre stretch of saltwater lagoons protected from the Southern Ocean by the towering dunes of the Younghusband Peninsula. This list features sites ranging from fully equipped caravan parks in Meningie to remote National Park campgrounds. Key locations like Parnka Point offer access to the narrowest section of the waterway, while 42 Mile Crossing provides a gateway to the ocean beach. These sites serve as bases for birdwatching, fishing for mulloway, and exploring the unique Ngarrindjeri cultural landscape.
