Pichi Richi Park

Flinders Ranges


This tidy congregation of cabins rests in quiet contemplation 14km south of Quorn, off the road to Port Augusta. Pitch a tent, park your van, or check your wandering family into a six-bed, self-contained cabin. There are large, dorm-like 'shared quarters' here too, which tend to book-out with school and university groups.
