Glamping near McLaren Vale

Between the rolling vineyards of the Adelaide Hills and the rocky headlands and beaches of the Fleurieu Peninsula, McLaren Vale makes an idyllic escape, less than an hour's drive from Adelaide. Once you've cycled along the Shiraz Trail, stopping off at cellar-door wineries, historic villages, and gastronomic restaurants along the way, check into one of the region's glampsites. Perhaps rent a solar-powered eco cabin in the woods, snuggle up in a bell tent with a queen-sized bed and luxe furnishings, or escape the crowds to sleep in a glamping tent amid the vines. Glamping means you can keep your home comforts, and glampsites typically have power outlets, comfy beds, and private bathroom and kitchen facilities. Plus, most provide heating and air-conditioning to ensure an enjoyable camping experience through all four seasons. Don't forget your swimsuit—the neighbouring Fleurieu Peninsula is home to some of South Australia's most popular beaches.
