The sites at Sturt Bay are generous but the tight turning area makes it unsuitable for most large vans. Sites are unallocated – it is first in best dressed.

The Campground is just over the dunes from Sturt Bay, which has kilometres of beach to explore. It’s a great spot for swimming, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and beach walking. The beach is mostly sand, but a reef is nearby and the seaweed can build up at times.

A toilet is provided, but self-sufficient camping is encouraged. The closest bin bank is in Warooka, at the town oval. Warooka has many facilities, including: a supermarket, pharmacy, butcher, hotel, petrol station, Visitor Information Outlet and more.

Terms and Conditions

By purchasing a Yorke Peninsula Council Bush Camping permit, you are agreeing to abide by the following Terms and Conditions, all of which are enforced at the discretion of Council’s compliance staff. Camping Council has designated the bush campgrounds as locations where camping is permitted. Campers must purchase Bush Camping permits online or by contacting a Yorke Peninsula Council office before entering a campground. A permit covers one motor vehicle (and caravan/trailer). Each booking is for one campground only, if you wish to change campgrounds during your stay please book each campground separately or alternatively contact Council via info@visityorkepeninsula.com.au or by calling 8832 0000. Camping in other locations on local government land or on any road is prohibited. It is also illegal to camp on any Council-managed foreshore. This permit does NOT cover Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park – please refer to www.parks.sa.gov.au. Any person who camps in a non-authorised area or does not pay the appropriate fee prior to using the designated campground may be issued with a $312.50 expiation notice. Pursuant to Council’s by-laws, ‘camping’ includes setting up a camp, or causing a tent, caravan or motor home to remain on the land for the purpose of staying overnight, whether or not any person is in attendance or sleeps on the land. The maximum booking per permit is 30 consecutive days. After camping on any of the designated camping reserves for a period of 60 consecutive days, you are unable to camp on any designated camping reserve until a further 30 consecutive days has expired. Council may give an extension to this clause upon application by a permit holder. Please set up your van and site in a manner that ensures you are not taking up more space than is appropriate (ie park at a 90-degree angle wherever possible); Council compliance staff reserve the right to ask that you move or condense your site. Refunds Council has a policy of not
