Before you book, make a list of all of the attractions you'd like to see during your visit and choose a caravan park that is best placed to access these activities with ease.
Where can I park a campervan overnight in Port Elliot?
Most campervan users travelling to Port Elliot will choose to stay in a caravan park. Along with the creature comforts they provide, such as toilet, showers and camp kitchens, they also offer up a number of entertainment perks for families, such as children's playgrounds and swimming pools.
If you're on a budget, however, you can choose the more affordable options of campsites or free camps. These are usually much more basic in their amenities, especially free camps that may only have a drop toilet. The nearby Coorong National Park is known for its picturesque free camping spots, but you'll need a 4WD to access most of them.
While it's not strictly illegal to pull over on the side of the road, or in a car park for the night, South Australia does implement certain rules about camping near beaches and in parks. This varies depending on the local council, so it's best to look out for information signs in the car park of your choice or call the council ahead of time to double-check the rules.
