Quorn Caravan Park

Top choice in Flinders Ranges


Fully keyed-in to climate change, this passionately run park on Pinkerton Creek is hell-bent on reducing emissions and restoring native habitat. Features include spotless cabins, a backpacker cabin (sleeps six), a camp kitchen made from recycled timbers, shady sites, rainwater tanks everywhere and a few lazy roos lounging about under the red gums. Discounts for walkers and cyclists.
